I suppose because Tubbs asked him in particular about his son.

Yeah, I laughed at the Jedward comments. He probably said what all those in the house thought about them being annoying/juvenile but would never actually say :p

Tubbs and Paddy would have talked before the show and agreed on what what they would speak about. It was going to be controversial.

He liked jedward in the end which was nice, I'm sure they were scared ****less of him. Looking back There was nothing to the interview really.

I watched all. of CBB and thought he came across as a very decent man. Of course I don't understand all of his ways as he's from a totally different culture but I really do respect him. It was heart breaking when he was talking about his son. I was in tears. I think it's a bit harsh how people describe it so crudely as "eating his son's corpse". He took some of flesh from a wound and ate it. Now, when he first said this I was a bit repulsed but then he said "to you it might be disgusting but your child is never disgusting, your chlid is lovely". This was so heartwarming and in a backwards way really made sense to me. I'm not saying I would eat the flesh of a deceased loved one but it really did make me respect him tenfold. He's a good man and should not be painted with the same brush as the travellers who give others a bad name

It was a very upsetting story when he was telling it.

It's disgusting but i suppose people react in different ways. It's hard to judge a parent who has just lost their child.

True. I felt really awful watching him trying to hold it together. I suppose it is one thing to live with it, but to suddenly be on a national TV show knowing the amount of people watching you, it would be very hard to hold it together.

His child died 14yrs ago. Yes it is a bit disgusting.

So after 14 years you are meant to be over the death of your first-born. I see...:rolleyes:

Over and out #2

I watched all of the recent Big Brother. This man was the most genuine, open, honest and decent person in the house. He was an ambassador for his culture and opened my eyes for one.

That was an absolute wanker of a question / topic to throw at him. There was no reason to ask it other than if tubridy or the researchers knew there was a sensationalist point to the story.

No I never said that but I don't go along with this first born crap either.
All your children should be equal.

Well of course, but the others died as babies, he didn't have them in his life for 18 years, that is what I mean by first-born.

Ah the paddy Doherty interview was a dream to watch compared to The Saturdays appearance, oh dear god that was terrible.

LETHAL LADY · 18-09-2011 12:22AM

I am going to add my tuppence worth here after reading most of this thread. I watched him on Danny Dyers hardest men and on the late late and I thought he came across as a sociopath.

Losing a child at any age is heartbreaking,are you saying it hurts less the younger they are?

A topic for another discussion, you don't have to answer.

I am saying he never got to know the newborns that died - he doesn't have all the stories, all the memories. Please don't insinuate I think a baby that dies at birth is not heartbreaking for the parents because that is just crass and not what I am saying at all.

If he was being interviewed, it was logical he would be asked about the son he raised for 18 years, the one he had memories and stories of.

You are right I should have not insinuated it. Neither should you.
Over and out. I will leave out the rolleyes as I hate them.

I pointed out that the child that died was his first-born.

This is a fact.

I was watching the Late Late Show last Friday and saw a Traveller, Paddy Doherty, being interviewed.

It was quite a good interview, and when telling the emotional story of the death of his son, he describes how he 'ate' part of him.

Look at this link from 10mins on...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XmMAnkD9HE

I can kind of understand the logic of it and in some respect admire his honesty and his sense of unashamed love towards his son.

But there seems to be something very animalistic about it, almost uncivilised.

What do you think?

Biggins · 19-09-2011 01:33PM

Gawd! + Yuck!

stovelid · 19-09-2011 01:35PM

Is a cream cracker joke appropriate here?

chin_grin · 19-09-2011 01:35PM

I think it's just the accent.

"I ate 'im. I've always 'ated 'im."

Mint Sauce · 19-09-2011 01:36PM

From listening to it it seemed like it was less than a mouthfull if that.

In a moment of grive, and from his reasoning, I can understand why.

Ghost Buster · 19-09-2011 01:36PM
