FactCheckingBob

One man has two twitter accounts. I’m here to fact check both.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

That's odd ... These two accounts have the same mother!

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Hasn't reminded son of anything since 2002.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

But ... you said you dad left when you were 3. Must be one of your first memories, that conversation with your mum and dad.

Breast cancer first. Son remembers the radiotherapy targets drawn on her. She beat that. Then it came back, she didn't want to make a fuss. By the time she was seen it was in her bones. She didn't last long after that.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Bob ran away. Bob couldn't cope. Bob was weak. Bob left the rest of the family to deal with it. Bob made his son homeless the night before he took that trip.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

This picture was taken many years before she died. She out-lasted that chair. She moved house. She outlived that dog and had another for several years before the cancer returned.

If only there were flights from the USA to the UK on a frequent basis in April 2000 to facilitate Bob being in the country shortly after his mother passed, he might have been able to claim some buttons for himself.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Bobs brother was not that tall. His sister was that tall. His dad left when Bob was 3, so his height is likely an estimate.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

She died April 2000.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Stopped before age 16. Gave money instead.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Bob has zero respect for the woman who raised his son single-handed

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

In that position, knowing you're at the end, it's quite normal to not want to bother anyone and hope the staff attend to those with better prospects. Been there, seen it happen, been to sleep in a full hospital bay and woken up with empty beds around.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Contradictory within the same conversation with the same person on the same day. A new record?

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Son never heard her say this. Son spent more time with her than he did with Bob. Son lived with her for almost three years.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

It's OK look ... he's remembered when she died now.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

Bob frequently failed to pay maintenance for his son, forcing son to grow up in that situation too. Well done Bob.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

She hadn't kept all of that stuff. Had Bob been in the country to help out after she died he might have known what was kept and what wasn't. Anything superfluous was thrown away before she moved from a house to a bungalow several years before her death.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

In hospital with bone cancer chatting with hospital staff, four years after her death.

[FactCheckingBob @bob_fact]

They did well, carrying on that weekly gossip for 4 years after Bobs mum died at the end of April 2000.

Chef = school canteen cook. Nothing wrong with that. But "chef" makes it sound like something quite different.
