Val Doonican

If Jade did not want the boys at her funeral, than I agree that her wishes should be respected.

But I think Jack Tweed buying himself a £350.000 luxury flat will not endear himself to anyone. Everyone knows that he is an exjailbird at only 20 years of age. What in the world has he done to deserve being able to buy a luxury flat --how is he going to upkeep it--I just read today that Jade's money all went to her sons. Is he being paid big money for his story?? Will he be selling on this flat in a year's time to buy drugs?? I though he was still in prison--only being allowed out for the funeral--how was he able to buy a flat---there is something very wrong going on here.
And what sort of message is it giving to young people today >.

I could weep, when I think of those poor soldiers, terribly crippled for life while serving their country, and trying to live on a pittance---and the Sun trying to raise funds for them---the Government should make sure that these young men are properly cared for, for the rest of their lives.

Ah, well, I guess it's different if that was her wish, but I didn't know that.

Apparently, Jade didn't leave anything in her will to Jack Tweed. All her money goes to her two boys.

Marian--yes I had noted that--so how does he suddenly get £350.000 to buy a luxury flat ???

Did he save up while he was in prison ??

Maybe Val Doonican gave him the money, after all............... (this is in the Val Doonican thread)

ROFL. I think we all needed that Robert! Thanks!

[mariana44]

Sorry Robert-and everyone-I got carried away, becuase I feel so strongly
about this issue.

Back to Val Doonican--I will say it again-yes I loved the show.

[john]

Yes, I wish they would show more repeats of his shows, far better than the rubbish that's on now.

[Marian]

Val Doonican was on Alan Titchmarsh's show today, having just written his autobiography. I thought he looked very good for his age of nearly 83.
It was good to see him again.

[john]

Did he sing, Marian?

[Marian]

No he didn't John, although he did say he does still sing.

[Mark Fox]

I thought he was in excellent shape&form.
Good to see him.

I had a day off work last Wednesday and Val was on Radio 4 in the morning as one of a few guests being chatted to. Very interesting story, his dad died when he was 13 after being in hospital for a while, with Val stopping to visit him each day on his way back from school. Then there was the story of the rocking chair and the squeaking bra.........
