Quote from: Stigdu on June 30, 2022, 03:35:52 PMI genuinely have no idea what a lot of you are talking about, like it's some weird clique full of in-jokes and 'nudge, nudge' situations. All I know is that he was a war hero and he raised about £30 million for the NHS thanks to going around his garden a lot.

Exactly the kind of thing a genetic clone of Adolf Hitler would say tbqh.

Well, there was obviously another discussion in the past about Captain Tom Moore which I wasn't privy to, hence not getting the jokes.

Anyway, I've had a reply which is good, so as suggested, I'll try to write less annoying stuff, stop acting like an ex-poster, stop being gormless and boring, and read more and write less. Glad that's sorted.

Oh, and fuck Nazis!

A sudden silence.

"Sort of. It's in the garden doing laps."

I believe that was what Sir Captain Sir Tom's regiment were known as, colloquially.

Quote from: MojoJojo on June 30, 2022, 04:46:29 PMFucking hell - not everyone is an ex-poster or understands the dislike the board has for the press celebrating anything that's a bit imperial Britain. And Stigdu's less boring than all these Tom Moore "jokes".

My reaction is about more than the posts on this topic, it's about the frequent moaning in a short space of time about the posters on this forum. Check the post history and then revert back if this still sounds unfair.

Quote from: Stigdu on June 30, 2022, 04:56:04 PMMaybe, but I've not been on here long enough to sometimes realise when a joke is being stretched out.

It is common internet etiquette to lurk before posting.

I mean, I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't post but it would certainly stop people getting annoyed at you if you decided to lurk a little more instead of just telling people you don't understand things. I just know that I spent a long time reading here before I started posting.

You don't want to end up like this cunt. Thank god we've seen the back of them.

We also need to focus on the Craptain Tom enablers like Michael Ball and The Qvin. Utter scum.

Not a good idea.  They expect you commit suicide in the bunker with them when the game's up.

You got me there. That did make me smile. To be fair, shoulders, I moaned when I felt like I was being talked down to. Anyway, dead horse, stick, etc. Let's move on.

He did bloody well. I was reading how his original fund target was £5,000. Then it was upped to £50k. Then after the press got hold of him, half a mill. Old Tom got over 30,000,000. That's incredible going in anybody's book.

Or given that he fought in Asia during World War Two, a war-time of Wongs.

I lurked for a year or so before I started posting, but I don't think its a prerequisite.

Probably helps you understand the humour of the place more and make everyone like you, but I've been posting for years and everyone still thinks I'm an unfunny twat so what do I know.

From Wikipedia:

That means when he was a grown man of 27, she was a child of 12. Vile.

You're lucky. People don't even have an opinion about me.

Or me. I just wanted to feel like a Big Man, CaB-wise.

You have Tom Captain Moore to thank for language you drivelling punk.  Have some respect for it.

I think you've misunderstood. He was 48, she was 33.

Sorry, do we have to keep making threads about paedos? It's getting ridiculous.

On top of all this, he lied about his age in order to marry a 12 year old. Disgusting.

Remember that the press didn't get hold of him. His daughter and son-in-law (brother to the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? coughing cheat) set up a PR company and trademarked "Captain Tom" (and variations) explicitly for whoring him out so they could earn off the back of the exploitation.

Quote from: Uncle TechTip on June 30, 2022, 12:42:09 PMThat's it, eg the house extension.

But let's not besmirch the good name of the very dead war hero Captain Tom.

Back at school we'd say "lapped him (Tom)" as we charged past the wheezing slowcoach.

The rumour around our way is that he did those garden charades in order to get the last laugh with regards to running, but if course he didn't because a) he is dead now and b) his daughter has been using all his underpants for Taskmaster-style shit-flinging activities using all of his old faecal matters that were stored up.

Edit:  Oh I forgot to say that "Captain Tom" was meant to be his personal way of owning "lapped him (Tom)" and self-heal, but thank FUCK he never did

Ferris

They originally just offered pay to old Tom a quid a lap "for a laugh".

That sounds like I'm making it up, but it isn't. Look at the early media interviews, it's there. Then the story shifted over time as the media got more involved and the story morphed to "it's always been about the charity, he just wanted to do something for everyone! TOMorrow will be a good day!! (don't look at the legal entities we've incorporated to cash-in)"

The next series is going to be him, Shirley Browne, Derek Acorah, Colin Fry, Margaret Thatchers.

Anyone remember that other one who tried to muscle in on the game by climbing her stairs for the NHS?



Bet the Ingram-Moore family were excited that somebody else was raising money. So excited that I'm sure they sent some big intimidating men round to give her some extra motivation.
