I'm homeless after making and losing £1,000,000 and having a hit film

  Saw this guy and the cat Bob during their rose to fame. Pre book, pre film. Utter cunt. Very aggressive with people and literally told my friend she couldn’t look at the cat without a donation.

  What a waste of an opportunity he was given.

    I took him and his cat water during a very very hot summer, saw them on my way back to college during my lunch break, all before the fame too. He seemed ok at the time but that may be because I was giving him something he probably needed.

    He actually seemed like a bit of a prick in the film, too.

    I got all three of the books for Christmas one year because my name’s Bob too, and I wouldn’t say he comes off as an utter cunt, but he does seem like poor company.

  Sounds like he wasted all that money. A £500k bungalow? JFC with a million bucks I could buy a prefab house and a lot to plop it on and live the rest of my life until I inevitable drop dead from heart disease. Also RIP Bob. I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever hit him didn’t even realize it.

      Everything’s better if you leave London.

  All a bit sad but heroin addicts tend to be self-destructive at the best of times - half the smackheads I know managed to kick the habit and go on to lead productive lives but I still see a few around begging (when they aren’t banged up) and they are getting on a bit now.

  Add in bad advice, likely a few parasites putting their hand in his pocket and this isn’t a huge surprise.

    I know some who have managed to hold down successful careers despite their habit. I wonder how many hidden “functional” users there are

  Are we really going to ignore that this guy’s name is Jim Bowen?

    It’s super, smashing and great to see what he won.

    You could say this guy’s career did a real one-hunded-and-eighty!
