That must be Heartbreaking seeing their suffering But Humbling at the same time I suppose. FairPlay . When you see kids who just want to live their life and play with their pals yet they know thats not going to happen and so are just living in the here and now as best they can it really makes me realise what courage is. Having a stand up or a fight of any sort comes as natural to some of us as Tuesday follows Monday it doesnt take courage to do what comes natural.........a small child having a smile on their face knowing they are dying has to be just about as unnatural situation as its possible to get so for me thats where the real courage is ! Good on ye gnash Yer a good man! Is there a certin charity for this place to make a donation? http://www.havenshospices.org.uk/little_havens_care There you go mate,theres a box to click on to make a 1 off donation or regular payment......good on you if you do .....infact good on you whether you do or not just spreading the word is good enough its only that this ones near me im sure theres loads of different charities kids are kids at the end of the day.....we make a regular donation and take a few of the older kids down the Hammers sometimes ( like they,re not in enough pain without inflicting that on them )......or just spend some time there having a kick about or just chatting they,re all beautiful people kids and staff alike so im just grateful to be in their company in all honesty.

Gnasher the more you post on here the more I get the impression that you have turned your life completely on its head from what it was from your younger days ? If that's correct then you must feel far happier with your life now and what your doing day to day compared with your youth ... Or I could be completely wrong lol ........ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think the chap is making a fair point. It seems grossly ignorant to me to be told to 'f**k off' for questing a person's motivation in visiting sick children. It seems to me that Hunting Life hero gnasher is guilty of using sick kids to increase his following on this forum. True acts of kindness should be performed quietly, not announced to the world to 'prove ' a person's 'cool dude, diamond geezer' online persona. We've just had the horror of a c**t like Jimmy Saville wandering hospital corridors at will. I thought lessons had been learned from that episode and all people who come into contact with our children are thoroughly vetted. Gnasher has said on here that he has criminal convictions for violence and has served time in Wormwood scrubs : hardly a fit,stable character to be influencing kids. He also admits to admiring pit bulls terriers and is creepily knowledgeable about the actual fighting rules. Again, not a fit person to be coming into contact with vulnerable children. The vetting procedures need to looked at sharpish. Perhaps Gnasher should give some thought to those children who are mauled, killed and badly disfigured by pit bulls in the UK every year. I wonder if Gnasher ever feels any indirect responsibility or collective guilt about these tragic incidents? I think his spare time would be better spent in devoting himself to changing people's minds about the keeping of these dogs.If he did he would be serving children a lot better than what he is doing now. Gnasher, finally, you are insensitive, to say the least, in dismissing a soldier's post traumatic stress disorder as a'few bad memories'. It is much more than that. It's devastating for the person involved, for the wives, children and wider family of those afflicted. It's extremely ungrateful of you to take such a dismissive attitude to those who are fighting for your safety. Link to post Share on other sites
