That Jane McDonald one is hysterical!
That Jane McDonald one is hysterical!
I read his book last year after receiving it as a Xmas present... I quite liked him back then but it did put me off him the way he talked about his ex-wife. There was a part where he said he was glad he never had any kids with her because she would have made a terrible mother. I thought it was a bit harsh, he even admitted she had mental health issues and had a strange upbringing. She probably wasn't a bad person.I thought that was really bad manners and it made me question his character, disclosing something so private and intimate to the world.
I only saw a book extract in the Daily Mail, does anyone know if there were any other revealing tidbits in the book where Tom did, or didn't, come across well?
Oh my god, I'm laughing my ass off at this desperation. What more tenuous links will he come up withThe husband seems quite fame hungry too... he replies to celebs on Twitter and name-drops Captain Tom and Hannah even when the tweets have nothing to do with them...
That's strange. Some things should just be kept private.I read his book last year after receiving it as a Xmas present...

I just read this on his wikipedia....There’s still a lot about Sir Tom we don’t know, and probably never will now. One thing I do remember though was Popbitch saying that a top London law firm working on his behalf(or more likely Hannahs) were sending out cease and desist letters to the press at the height of his fame during lockdown. Clearly they were being warned off publishing something about him, but what?
~retweets Charming toilet paper advertised tweet~What more tenuous links will he come up with
Can this family be locked into a box with no internet access somewhere in the North Pole?This wasn't a photo I was expecting to see
It'll blow up on them eventually. People are starting to see through the desperation. As interest wanes and they try to keep the circus going, the greed will get the better of them and they'll mess up on some front.Can this family be locked into a box with no internet access somewhere in the North Pole?
Surely they must have some self awareness and realise how utterly pathetic and embarrassing they look?
"Captain Tom was a real peteolhead (obviously meaning 'petrolhead'). So he was another Jeremy Clarkson now!?The husband seems quite fame hungry too... he replies to celebs on Twitter and name-drops Captain Tom and Hannah even when the tweets have nothing to do with them...
Eek! Is he hoping Jane MacDonald will mention Captain in the episode? Or is he hoping Jane will sing "we'll never walk alone" on her channel 5 cruises series and pay for his family to join her in Lanzarote or benidorm?The husband seems quite fame hungry too... he replies to celebs on Twitter and name-drops Captain Tom and Hannah even when the tweets have nothing to do with them...
And that’s just the thing, his ex wife isn’t around to defend herself and it’s unlikely that anyone else who knew her or her side of the the story is either. What we do know is that after her divorced her he married a woman much younger than himself, who is mother to Hannah and her sister. They made that sound so innocent as well with him saying he was reluctant to get involved with her because she was so much younger than him. But who knows really?I read his book last year after receiving it as a Xmas present... I quite liked him back then but it did put me off him the way he talked about his ex-wife.

When the media have got all the mileage possible from positive coverage, they can then turn on those they helped make, so just be patient.No media outlet should entertain these fake hungry bastards anymore. Absolutely milking the duck out of a dead man… it’s a disgrace and I cannot believe that there are not reports about them being shameless as duck! Like now, if you search captain Tom on Twitter it is all negative!
Did they divorce or was he widowed?I read his book last year after receiving it as a Xmas present... I quite liked him back then but it did put me off him the way he talked about his ex-wife.

Divorced if I recall rightly.Did they divorce or was he widowed?
Doesn't this belong in the worst presents received thread. Who did you piss off that they gave you this.I read his book last year after receiving it as a Xmas present...

To be fair, I think his autobiography might be quite interesting as the story of someone born nearly fifty years before me, who lived a long life through some interesting times and personal experiences. I wouldn't expect any particular insight into why he walked around his garden for charity though, which could no doubt be condensed from his point of view into it being something to keep him active while helping others, and his daughter encouraged that out of her concern for him and the NHS, being the altruistic person she is.Doesn't this belong in the worst presents received thread.
