It's probably bad enough that looking after your mother is seen as an exceptional event, but that coupled with having to publicise it is even worse.

I f**king agree with that. Add in the almost daily headline "you won't believe what [insert celebrities] did for this dying 12-yr old." I've no problem with the action in itself but we don't need the constant portrayal of minor celebs as fcking Mother Teresa.

And don't reply telling me that worthy actions or good deeds deserve praise in the press. Would your precious celebrities stop carrying out these charitable actions if there was a blanket ban on media coverage of them happening? and if so what does that really say about the morality of today's "heroes".
Although not a celebrity, there was some attention-starved dickwad on facebook videoing himself approaching homeless people on the street handing them easter eggs, complete with soppy music edited in. I never felt like throttling someone so much in my life.

People saying sentences back to front. Instead of "it is very busy today" they say "very busy today it is".

People saying "............knowing my luck..........." as if they're inherently unlucky.

That Jones fella? He's a w**ker. He normally makes a p***k of him by overstepping the mark and then comes out with this shit a few days later.

Yeah the same boy i think, did you see him run away when threatened by the Irish guy in the car? He apparently had a gun pulled on him in America too. He will overstep the mark some day yet.
