ri Alban Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) People like Michael Ball have no shame. Exploitation of this auld heroes generosity. And who the feck takes an 99 year old out of his house in lockdown to visit a pandemic hospital? Fecking haufwits! Maybe name his local hospital, or part of it after him, would be my idea. Just in case you wanted to know. 😁 Edited April 19, 2020 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brow Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 What a country - relying on a 100 year old man doing laps of the garden instead of having a properly funded health service. Meanwhile Matt Hancock sells of more NHS this week and folk are out banging pots and pans as if it makes any difference to the lives of the low paid NHS workers. Utterly mental.

The amount of money he has raised is amazing. Clearly a good sort. Though when I see him sand the family, I find myself wondering what age did he have his kids at? He’s 100 and his daughter doesn’t look past 50, maybe she is but some of grand kids are quite young 12-14 range. Would have expected another generation at least Maybe better putting this in the things you’ve always wondered thread but could be bothered finding out.🤔 Yeah I had been thinking exactly the same BJ!

So he had his kids 47 and 49, dependant on birthdays etc. Don’t know why I find it surprising probably a little unusual for that generation. Very unusual I would think. Marry and have kids early.

Reaches 100, raises millions for the NHS, becomes a Colonel, has No 1 single, gets national fame ands gets a knighthood. I have to say whenever I see him talking he does make me smile. He was joking about how the Queen will need to be careful with sword when knight him on TV this morning. What the guy has achieved is amazing. Had a wee chuckle at that as well, he usually does come out with some wee joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
