How did I miss this?

50p Lotus . The story is here. Don't p!ss the wife off if the car's in her name. It doesn't say why he was gutted at the end though

yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

My wife told me about that last night. Why are'nt any of us that lucky

I did hear of a woman who was asked by her seperated husband to sell his Jag for him (this was before ebay) so she did .......for £4

Cant say I blame her. If I was her and he'd done that I would have thrown in every thing in the house of his into the deal.





Who the f**K tightened this up!

Tim Shaw is a nut case. I listen to his show sometimes on Kerrang. Nearly every night he did something to wind her up or pi55 her or her family off. Some of it was quite amusing some not so...

Good on her

Still gutted i missed it though

His show is brilliant, I can't believe his wife still hasn't left him...

Did you check out the last thing she bought on ebay, in feedback!!

Perhaps things weren't all OK at home before this?

I think it's a windup, kerrang kept mentioning it yesterday as if it was, and the feedback looks a bit sus - all very short descriptions and no picture and very low buy it now prices.

Yeah he definitely is (for the time being at least...) - he's always phoning up his wife and her family to prank them. They don't like him much.

I think it may well have been a wind up. Those who know what Tim is like in his shows will probably realise this. He is married to her, well as far as you can make out.

He did play a rather cruel trick on his mum a few weeks back, and they made him play an apology every show for about a month...

He has done some rather stupid things on air, and the content of his shows is usually not suitable for under 18s He had Ron Jeremy on there the other night

Saw this earlier - can't believe how lucky someone was to get that for 50p.

as a total guess, it sounds like he is doing a variation on the bernard manning style mother in law joke, but on his wife and her family. They are perhaps all in on the scheme and the apologising and stuff adds to the realism.

ps

strange that the car in the pic has no number plate.....

also

some of the stuff on the accounts looks dodgy. item 8199369107 that hayleyshaw bought consisted of two words, shaw shaw, and was bought by kingdj69.

seems a bit spoofy to me

Apparently Tim hasnt done a show since this 'happened' (my gf listens every night). Looks like it was on his show last thursday night (eBay date is early hours of the friday morning).

Steve, I'm not sure, but I think the # plate has been airbrushed out in that pic.

Some of the stuff she has bought/sold is a bit dodgy. So it could all be an elaborate 'tim' joke.

I think it was a joke on his part, he's probably on holiday but wanted it to sound a bit bigger than that so invented this to explain his absence.

To be honest I don't think his wife or her family are in on it, they seem genuinely annoyed when he phones them up!
