[News] Ground Control to Major Tom

[Juan Albion]

Have there been any suggestions to promote Captain Tom to Major Tom for his 100th birthday? If not, why not? And if not, get off your arses NSC and make it happen.

 

[lawros left foot]

There is a campaign to get Tom a knighthood.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Whose shirts does he wear?

 

[Brok]

He had intended to make £1000 when he started, the amount he has raised so far is nearly £13 million.

Some wag online commented yesterday ‘Doesn’t the old duffer know anything about social distancing, he should be staying indoors’

Great effort though and a man in amazing shape for 100 years this month.

He only popped out for some milk.

This man is very close to funding the NHS on his very own...

There are folk out there happy to contribute tens of millions of pounds to the NHS but only if a 99 year old man entertains them. Wtf is this world coming to?

Ask them for an increase in income tax to fund the NHS and they would be up in arms.

Oh, and give the old boy another medal. Good work Sir!

Indeed. And if we could get more people out doing this sort of thing for charity, us top earners could get a bit more off the old income tax.

Stupid idea, he is not a serving officer.

Far better to be recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in June.

Damned right.

I have no beef with the old chap and he deserves all the credit he's getting. Our society in general though? What a mess.

Great point! If we don't have all the elderly veterans on 'just giving' treadmills by the end of lockdown we have failed in our duty to society!
