Yet another tragic example

Last night I received this email from a lady who bought a pre-publication copy of our book "That Bitch: Protect Yourself Against Women with Malicious Intent." Note how she describes the man in question as 'a lovely, happy kinda guy.' This seems to be the case almost every time.


....an interesting but awful little story was regaled to me at my nail parlour today (dah-link - Zsa Zsa Gabor voice)...... I simply asked 'what is the most frequent reason for women to lose their (false) nails?' and.....ohmigod did i start her off !! She knows one guy who committed suicide only this year due to his ex-wife being so livid at his affair that she completely cut him off from his 3 kids.

They were his life and even tho' the new girlfriend hellped him financially get back on his feet, he just cldn't live without them. He was a pharmacist and had no trouble at taking his life: he set up his own morphine drip and took pills to counteract the effect. He went into a coma and died within hours. Apparently, the ex-wife had been physically man-handling him every time he tried to see the kids and wld lose her false nails every time. It was only when the nail lady had started doing the new girlfriend's nails that all became clear. He was such a lovely, happy kinda guy and he leaves behind a grieving girlfriend, 3 young children, his parents and countless friends........

So, there you go. Another sad tale - and that was without my even asking for it.

This really is the tip of the ice berg.....


I agree. There are SO many examples we've come across. Please tell everyone you know about our new book.

Radio Interviews Promoting the book

Today I visited BBC Bristol to do two 'down-the-line' interviews about our new book "That Bitch: Protect Yourself Against Women with Malicious Intent" on BBC Tees and BBC Manchester. First up ,just after 10am I talked with presenter Ms Alex Hall. She stated on a few occasions how she has met women as we describe in the book. Similarly Heather Stott claimed to recognise the specific types of woman we discuss. We had a lot of fun during the interviews. Thanks to both presenters for bringing this issue to a wider audience.

An added bonus for me was bumping into 2 BBC colleagues I hadn't seen for 15 years who are still working at BBC Points West. That's quite an achievement in the world of TV news! It was quite a shock to discover that one of them is contemplating retirement - surely he can't be old enough! He said he was 58! That can't be. If true, it means I'm getting old too! :-)

DJ Andy Kershaw Jailed

Isn’t ANYONE prepared to look at DJ Andy Kershaw’s situation from his perspective?

Thrown into jail for breaching a restraining order seems to imply that BBC Radio 3 presenter Andy Kershaw is a bad man.

But what if he isn’t?

Described by BBC colleagues as ‘unwell’, his break up with his ex-partner and the mother of his two children has been devastating for him. It appears from press reports that his ex-partner wanted to end their relationship. Obviously she has every right to do that. But could it be that her decision also included denying him contact with his children?

It is easy to imagine his utter desperation at not being allowed by her (and on her word alone) to be a father to his children.

Someone needs to find out exactly how his ex-partner managed to get awarded a restraining order in the first place. Did she make any allegations against Kershaw? If so, was she required in law to prove their validity or accuracy? Is it possible that she was economical with the truth, in order to persuade a judge to give her what she wanted, regardless of any rights Kershaw may have had? Did the courts simply believe everything they were told without question?

Is it possible that his ex-partner has behaved in a cold-hearted manner to ‘teach him a lesson’ – for daring to fight to see his children?

It has been reported that Kershaw has been drinking heavily in recent months – but has anyone asked whether this began before or after he was excluded from the lives of his children?

The guy could be ill. Shouldn’t somebody, somewhere find out how the ‘system’ was able to lock him up when he may have been so emotionally distraught that he was incapable of acting in a rational way – more a danger to himself than anybody else?

Could it be that Kershaw is a sensitive, compassionate guy who is being abused very badly?
