He seemed to of had an “interesting” life

Spent his life objectifying women and getting rich off it. Also using his power and wealth to partner with women way younger than would otherwise have considered such a dirty old **** er
RIP Hugh.

Bunny ears to half mast

Pretty sure he won’t be going to a better place.

I’ve never understood why a young person having sex with an older person because the older person is rich and or famous is somehow a worse reason for doing it than if the other person is nearer their own age.

Clearly, the younger partner has no problem with it.

I don’t think it is seen as worse. Only it is more apparent if there is a large age gap

Hedges across the land will shed a tear .

Especially if they’re getting paid well, eh Woppit?

Pretty sure he won’t be going to a better place.

Indeed. It’s like he did the whole Jannah thing in reverse…

Also using his power and wealth to partner with women way younger

So an evolutionary if not moral success story then. Assuming he fathered children by them.

This thread is surely a perfectly timed segue for all the dobbers from the Fearne thread?….

…and just the dobbers in general.

Just like every other thread then.

Most of us spend a significant part of our lives prostituting ourselves one way or another for cash to live. Good luck to anyone who chooses sex as their earner.

Pro human rights, pro-women’s right to choose, pro-right to divorce, a champion of father’s rights… against censorship, racism, segregation…

On balance I reckon his contribution to society was positive.

An unfortunate choice of words given the rest of your point. Most of us spend our life working, including prostitutes.

“Dobber”. Que?

Yep..what a guy 😀
R.I.P.

+ 1 Edukator.

The 70’s and early 80’s was the time I remember his output…

Did loads for various charities, didn’t care much about what others thought about his business.

Why not.

Rest Well.

Nicely written obituary on the BBC here.
I’d agree with Edukator, on balance I think he did a lot more good than bad.

Pretty sure he won’t be going to a better place.

Me too. 😉

Surely flashy must be in mourning as his sartorial hero is now gone

What’s a “Dobber”?

A tadger.

Go on…

As Alex from Arctic Monkeys wistfully asked

Clinging to not getting sentimental
Said, she wasn’t going, but she went, still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a mega-dobber or a betting pencil?

He did lots for 2nd wave feminism and no doubt grossly offended the 3rd wavers, and for that he should be proud. #RIPHef 😀

I think when they have his service they should honour him by sticking the hymn book pages together

Can we move this to the Bike Chat Forum please…

Handwringers to the forum. Handwringers to the forum.

What’s a “Dobber”?

It’s like a podger or a walloper.

I thought it were something you plant seeds with?

Going off Km79’s explanation, maybe it is. 😉

or a Boaby.

Small claim to fame. My auntie worked as a croupier in the Playboy club london back in the 60s. This is she:

A ‘Dobber’ is a Wigan expression for a be-tracksuited council house dweller

Hence what is sold in Sports Direct is referred to as ‘Dobber Clobber’

Dobber – as used in the appropriate context.

“Gie’s a gonk, ya dobber”

Can’t say I knew him but he always sounded a bit rapey.

Probably a good thing that he’s dead.

thankyou vortex I’m here all week
