Bernie and the baby can dribble together.

You have a lot of faith in Eccleston's capabilities gillybob just because he can etc
Maybe there was a substitute grin

The trouble with some people is that no one ever dares says 'no' to them.
I used to teach someone who, via her partner, had frequent contact with BE, and she used to say that he was one of those people!

grannyrebel7 Fri 03-Apr-20 19:21:23

Shouldn't be allowed! Surprised he can still rise to the occasion at 89 smile

Callistemon I read somewhere that BE may well be one of the ten oldest known fathers. Let’s also not forget Mick Jagger, who was 73 when his youngest was born, and I think Julio Iglesias’s father also became a father again at almost 90yo. His youngest child was born post-humously.

One way of securing a future----but what a way blurrrrrr.
Not for all the money would I ever be tempted.

Callistemon Fri 03-Apr-20 16:38:36

sorry completely up s**t creek there without a paddle.

The oldest father was 101.

(perhaps I was looking at a picture of Bernie and got confused)

Callistemon Fri 03-Apr-20 16:37:47

102 is no time to be taking on a stroppy teen and equally a difficult teen should bear in mind at 102 a parent is not going to feel like being a taxi service, particularly when it's a late night event. On the plus side pocket money shouldn't be a problem.

Terribull, your whole post is so funny! Thank you

Is he now officially the world's oldest father of a new baby? The last one was 101.

As gillybob says yuk...just yuk. Nothing more to be said.

PernillaVanilla Fri 03-Apr-20 16:32:36

It is all a bit sad that the thought of having sex with someone of 89 should be viewed as repulsive, but it is hard to think the money is not the main attraction - she would not have regarded the local day centre as a good place to trawl for a mate! Having said that she wanted a baby and no doubt it will be well provided for and have a loving home.

Was just thinking about what to eat tonight but suddenly not hungry any more.

JenniferEccles Fri 03-Apr-20 16:23:50

Mother Nature really slipped up didn’t she?

There have been instances of children of 12 years old having babies, and now we have the other end of the spectrum courtesy of B.E !

gillybob Fri 03-Apr-20 16:14:26

Well that’s me having nightmares tonight that’s for sure .

Sark Fri 03-Apr-20 16:11:54

Gillybobgrin
Just yuk

paddyanne Fri 03-Apr-20 14:55:49

What turned my stomach was him telling reporters they've had lots of time to "practice" .Its just cringeworthy

gillybob Fri 03-Apr-20 14:37:16

Well she wouldn’t be pregnant that’s for sure Michael grin

12Michael Fri 03-Apr-20 14:18:56

Wonder what the situation would be if had an older women than himself

I wrongly assumed he was another Corona victim.

OH drove one of the daughters who had a major meltdown because Daddy had taken the ????? jet and she would have to travel in the ????? jet. A real first world problem. Hopefully she will share nicely with the new arrival.

Davidhs Fri 03-Apr-20 14:05:57

I just looked up a photo of the happy couple, Fabiana is head and shoulders and then some taller, she is 44 and first child - that’s leaving it a bit late, risky too. It’s much more about what she wants, he has been there plenty of times before.

My own opinion, the last thing on earth I would want is a baby and I’m nowhere near 89.

Kalu Fri 03-Apr-20 13:48:30

Oh! That gives me the creeps.

Hope she doesn’t try for an heir and a spare !?

SueDonim Fri 03-Apr-20 13:48:17

My 92yo mum commented on this to me with the remark ‘I hope for his wife’s sake that it’s a virgin birth!’ gringrin

farview Fri 03-Apr-20 13:47:37

Haha Greymar Caroline Aherne would have had a field day with this?

Jane10 Fri 03-Apr-20 13:36:08

Yuk. Just yuk. The things people will do for money.

annodomini Fri 03-Apr-20 13:29:10

I won't speculate about BE's relationship with a stroppy teenager as he is very unlikely to be around by that time.

M0nica Fri 03-Apr-20 13:06:53

The ultimate way of proving that though you are old, been pushed out of the industry you built, you are still potent, and a force to be reckoned with.
