Page 1 of Major Fraud, Cough! Cough! Make your mind up

Just watched the `Who wants to be a Millionare special` with our pal the Major.

What a hoot, when we heard the Cough! Noooooo! bit. Fell about laughing, I expected his wife to wave her bra as a signal.

Do you think they all got off too lightly with a suspended sentence.

Was it just an `old boy` cheating prank or a crooked scheme to swindle a million.

Funny.
Just watched some on ITV2 as it would have been broadcast.
So obvious on that too.
Greedy bastards.

It was just a harmless jape. Tarrant and Celabore should have just stopped the cheque and told Ingram to f*** off and try to pursue the matter through the civil courts if he really thought that he`d won the money. Spending £500,000 of the public`s money on persecuting a cheeky trickster is simply obscene!

wouldve been better if they used farting instead of coughing...

ya gotta love the advertisers though - the benelyn advert in the first ad break, with all the bods coughing in the doc`s surgery was a hoot.

"wouldve been better if they used farting instead of coughing..."

lol.
Also, there would have been so much farting, he`d have stunk the place out and there`d have been no witnesses..

Oh dear I wasn`t sure until I saw this and by the 64,000 it was obvious.
Silly greedy twit, as the show folk said if they had stoped short they would have walked, I bet his wife gave him some serious grief !!!!!!
I hope they have to pay all of the costs, surely the taxpayer won`t !!!!! as if they had ownwed up it wouldn`t have cost so much.
I wonder if thier lawyers had been asleep when checking out the tapes for the defence.
Best Mark.

Can`t believe he`s still denying it, it was so obvious.

I am glad he got away without prison, he`s a right laugh.

Imagine what happens when there`s a family game of trivial pursuit, I wonder if all hell breaks loose?

I bet it wins the comedy BAFTA of 2004.

He didn`t get away with it. The poor sod`s career has been destroyed because of a harmless jape.

Tarrant is a vindictive c**t!

I never said he got away with it, I said he got away without prison.
