[Madíson]

Oh dear.

 

[Soldi]

Maybe he shouldn’t have gone to Barbados after all.

 

[GinAg (39)]

What was your favourite Tom Moore track?

I liked the one he did with Oxide and Neutrino.

 

[Ellie]

Maybe he shouldn’t have gone to Barbados after all.

Maybe it was a nice final holiday. Even if he didn’t get COVID he can’t have had much longer left anyway, so Barbados sounds like quite lovely.

 

[GNL]

He's walking 'round Vera Lynn in circles now. RIP to a real one.

 

[Star]

Oh gosh, I wonder if the covid killed him?

 

[COB]

He taught me it was okay to be weird, RIP

 

[Star]

Oh gosh, I wonder if the covid killed him?

BBC saying yes. That's quite sad actually

 

[octophone]

Bollocks.

 

[Whatevar]

Come on people, he was ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.

 

[Pingu]

Timed BBC announcement and everything, like a member of the Royal Family.

 

[jivafox]

I’m convinced he wasn’t real. It all feels a bit convenient. Are we sure it wasn’t a Lorraine Kelly character.

In the middle of a lockdown/pandemic though?

Do you mean Lorraine Kelly was wearing prosthetics?

 

[jivafox]

Do you mean Lorraine Kelly was wearing prosthetics?

Just took her wig off.

Captain SIR Tom, to you.

How disrespectful.

Being one of Indie's Deathlist picks has a worse safety record than the oil rigs.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I have nothing against him, but the hero adoration of an old well off white man earning money for a government funded institution did grate on me somewhat.

But kudos for achieving multiple life goals in the last 12 months of a long life. That said his Blankety Blank appearance does suggest he may have peaked in the 1980s.

How was your Cyprus trip?

 

[COB]

earning money for a government funded institution

Yes, this was my main problem - it was Help For Heroes all over again. Just fucking fund stuff properly in the first place, it shouldn't be the place of charity!

 

[Suomi]

How was your Cyprus trip?

omg who else gay-gasped

 

[GinAg (39)]

How was your Cyprus trip?

omg

 

[ButterTart]

I met Captain Tom at a party once, he was down to Earth and VERY funny. He told me he’d had a number one single and rush released a book so his daughter could get a new three piece suite.

Have any other no.1 acts died within a year of hitting no.1?

God we need @Eileen back.

 

[COB]

GUESTS' FAVOURITE

 

[ButterTart]

Good news everyone, he was on my death list.

I’d like to thank his grifting daughter for pushing his frail body well beyond its natural limits, in the middle of a pandemic.

 

[Peekaboo]

Oh no who's going to save our NHS now.

 

[Ellie]

Being a complete moron here, but I kind of scoff when ex-military people use their ranked titles decades past being at all relevant.

He was only promoted to Captain temporarily near the end of the war.

 

[Soldi]

How was your Cyprus trip?

When did I go to Cyprus?

I did go to Greece although that was back in the summer when we were out of lockdown and the government said it was safe to do so

 

[GinAg (39)]

Was he on said Barbados trip? Judging by his massive home they could probably have afforded it, that said who was looking after those charity funds?

 

[octophone]

Have any other no.1 acts died within a year of hitting no.1?

God we need @Eileen back.

It makes him a perfect one-hit wonder. One No 1 and no other chart entries (let's face it, there isn't going to be an album of blues numbers in the can, we're not in an Eva Cassidy situation here).

We're all here for the Soldi-Lucille beef.

Also Lucille how was Marseille? You were there shagging your way around when I was on holiday

I think it was a free trip paid for by British Airways.

 

[octophone]

Oh no who's going to save our NHS now.

The lottery for that will be drawn tomorrow. Hope it's not my turn, I've got a sore foot.

 

[GinAg (39)]

We're all here for the Soldi-Lucille beef.

With a side dish of cynicism.

 

[COB]

I shan't speak ill of the dead and he obviously did seem like a lovely old chap, but everything I've seen and heard of the immediate family (including those lovely holiday snaps) does give GRASPING CUNT vibes.

Oh. Wow.
