Holy smokes Batman. San Francisco Transformed to Gotham City for a day.

A good news tale for a change. Little Miles Scott, a five year old cancer patient who is in remission with leukaemia was given a 'wish' by the makeawish Charity foundation, and he simply asked to be 'Batkid' for a day. Full video in the link, but fair play to the thousands of people who made his wish come true. Certainly…

Certainly cheered me up this morning, and put my trivial whinges into perspective.

It's actually here:

But would be easily missed with the thread title!

Yeah, on this exact forum:

Exact same story - but I guess the title wasn't sexy enough for you to click on.

You could have pointed me to the thread in your op so. You never mentioned this forum btw.

But I guess that wouldn't have been sexy enough, instead you had to be a dick about it.

It looks like it wasnt sexy enough for you to thank that thread or contribute to it either.

Why are you wasting your time, hating a thread and trying to make the OP look like a dickhead.

You'd probably kick a kitten too, wouldn't ya. Jesus I hate this place sometimes.

Listen - it's a great story; but my point is that it's a story that was already posted here and got a lukewarm response, because people (like you) aren't interested in a story about a kid with leukemia, unless the story has something sexy like "Gotham City" in the headline - then you'll click on it.

I already told you I'd seen it in 3 or 4 other places before it was posted here.

Get a bloody grip.

Seriously. A good news story and you stomp all your grumpiness all over it.

If you have a problem with a thread being reposted, report it and move on.

Lovely story OP, as you now now, there is already a thread on it
