I love the fact they're annoyed after seeing pictures of him doing fun stuff; as if it would've been acceptable as long as he'd been miserable the entire time.
In a sense it would have been. "Exceptional circumstances" includes going to funerals and such - this guy claimed he had to go during term time because was going to visit a close family friend dying of cancer. So the pictures of him living it up on the golf course and passed out pissed rather put the lie to his thinly-veiled excuses.
Christ, your post is as bad as that Mail article. How exactly does one 'live it up' on a golf course? Is that like playing golf and having a party at the same time or something?
I assume so. Everyone I've ever seen play golf round here looks dead miserable while they're doing it, and he looked quite chuffed.
The fact he's taken the photos down off his Facebook page sugeegsts he's a little shamefaced about it.

Anyway, actually he said they'd gone during term time because not to do so would've cost £6K which they couldn't afford, and part of the reason they wanted to go was because the family friend had cancer. So, if taken at his and the Daily Mail's word, it was a choice between (a) go during term time because they could actually go and see someone who might not be around much longer or (b) don't go at all and, presumably, take the chance of not seeing the family friend alive again.
He could always have gone on his own to see him, of course, if it was that urgent.
And the guys owns a farm. He's not short of cash.

We don't know the stage this guy's cancer is at so while you seemingly wouldn't be happy unless the entire time was spent sitting worriedly at a bedside maybe his mate's still healthy enough to want to enjoy doing stuff like playing golf before things do get too bad? Or it could be all lies of course (I'm certainly not ruling that out), but to assume that based on a fucking Daily Mail article and some context free pictures seems ill-advised.
I was mostly assuming it on the basis that he came across as a massive tool from the massive load of quotes. Interestingly, though, they've removed a large section of text from yesterday, which had a lot of quotes from him and his wife, including in which the chap concerned made some fairly weird comments about being in it for the kiddies and being there to "guide them".
Brrrr.
Any way of getting that text off Google cache or something?
