Aw, poor geezer, legend. Reminds me I need to track down his scurrilous autobiography thang, sounds fun.

44 is no age, same age as my bro.

What an amazing man. Lived several lives and did what he could to make a difference.

[Anpanman]

Yes he was and it's such a shame, I'm grateful for the service he gave during the war, they shouldn't be forgotten.

Such a shame that the thing he raised protection against money for has killed him. ****, 100 laps of his garden at a hundred years old! An amazing man

That was early December. He only tested positive recently after having been in hospital treated for pneumonia, the treatment of which is why he couldn’t get the vaccine. I don’t know if it has been said straight out but the implication seems to be that he got it in hospital.

Quite, he didn't die of Covid-19 because he went on holidy in December - people really need to stop posting this implying that he did - it's the very embodiment of fake news.

I’m sick of seeing people mentioning his holiday to Barbados. For one thing it was early December so not linked but so bloody what, the guy was 100 years old for Christ sake, he knew he probably want long for this world and BA offered him an all expenses trip to somewhere he always wanted to go and he damn well earned it.

Vale Captain Tom. Rest easy.

I think everyone is just jealous because we weren't allowed to travel abroad in December (other than for work, education or caring responsibilities). Otherwise I would have been snowboarding in the Alps. I don't have many years left before my legs won't handle it. But I was staying at home instead because common sense.
