stewartd14 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Re: Derek Thompson Wow - only saw people messaging him wishing him luck on Twitter, and had no idea what for. Best of luck to the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONEDUNME Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Re: Derek Thompson Amazing what a bout of cancer can do.

So because many don't think he is the best commentator and doesn't have the greatest racing knowledge for someone in his position, they shouldn't wish him well because of a 'bout of cancer'?!?! Maybe it's just me but that's surely quite offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Re: Derek Thompson Yes, I don't like him at all but I wish him well in his fight against cancer............. You don't have to like him to wish him well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDUNME Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Re: Derek Thompson Maybe. I just find the whole thing a bit weird. It's like when someone near you dies and you know he was a complete twat, everyone else knows he was a complete twat but, suddenly, everyone remembers something good about them. The saying is "never speak ill of the dead" (obviously I'm not referring to Thommo now) but why not? If someone's a dick, they're a dick. I'll look forward to all your messages of support for me one day:lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look forward to all your messages of support for me one day:lol I get your point... The other day I was actually heard I say, 'twats get cancer too' and of course that is actually fact... I 110% wish them a speedy recovery though. I guess I do see what u r getting at - but don't wish this on anyone. Death and disease just anger me... It's a funny ol game!

So if you slate someone for being useless at their job, your not going to wish them well when going through cancer surgery ? Get a grip FFS. Racing is a sport, a job is a job. Life, on the other hand, is completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
