I too deal with people with anger issues and I don't agree. If a person CAN remove themselves permanently then it makes sense, but how often do people have that luxury?

Similarly if Jim had have hounded Linda like she has him, he would be arrested as a sex pest or stalker.

Please don't tell me men and women are equal on this show, its simply not true.

I agree. You're right. Just like what happened with Denise and Michael.

I support Jim but that is BS, why would he potentially tarnish his views to thousands by admitting to it, it could potentially ruin him in the eyes of many it wouldnt be worth it for the money earned

Never needed to worry about that. As long as I can drive and putt, I will get by.

Yeah, yeah.. so you keep saying. It's hardly relevant to this issue. Linda knew him, has seen him at his worst, and has no doubt heard every story about him. If she believed he was a violent bullying sex pervert, she wouldn't have agreed to enter the house with him and wouldn't have agreed to share a bed while handcuffed to him.

Great point MTVN IF Jim hadn't have brought this up himself no one would have been any the wiser and whos to say the wife didn't exaggerate things,she wouldn't be the first,if not her the paper certainly would add bits here and there.

I am never going to defend what Jim did the other did he went too far and it was awful, but its hardly surprising he finally snapped, and now Linda gets what she wants, looking like the true victim, even if Jim has the public support
If its true Jim was going to beat her husband up thats shocking, and even more testament to how hes done well in controlling his temper

More people are on Jim's side on this forum than not, and the voting public are keeping him in the house. On the contrary, Linda has been blasted and called the most awful names. I'm not a fan of hers at all, but I don't like the vitriol spewed against a woman with no known awful character flaws in her past just because she dislikes Jim Davidson with a horrendous past reputation and she shows it.
Yes, she made her distaste obvious when she heard he was in the house. But people are forgetting that when she was handcuffed to him, she spoke in the diary room of how nice he was to her and how he was looking after her. That doesn't sound like a women to me who was intent on carrying out a vendetta against him.
Not long after that, the HM's were talking on the HL's show of how Jim kept butting in when Linda was chatting to the group and cutting her off in mid sentence as if she wasn't there. This was again mentioned some time later.

So none of us know if it was that or if something else happened to rile Linda up again.

They don't need to remove themselves permanently. Everyone is different - some people just need a short time to get over anger, while others need longer, like a day or two. Linda Nolan obviously needs a lifetime, since she's still furious over an incident which took place twenty years ago.

What are you on about?

A poster asked if Jim had been convicted of a violent offence and i replied that he hadn't, he'd admitted to violence in his book.

And his ex wife violently attacked him too... Jim was never charged of anything either, his wife didn't even press charges...

True, but if Linda had a problem with him cutting her off all the time, then she is sufficiently assertive to turn around and call him out for it. "Jim - please let me finish my sentence." She is also capable of stating what the problem is when he asked her during her more unpleasant rants. Rather than blast off a stream of abusive spite, she could have given the details. "Earlier today, you kept interrupting me whenever I opened my mouth. I feel as if you're trying to cut me out of the conversation, and don't respect my opinions." or something similar. That he could understand and deal with.

You drive for show and putt for dough. Being able to chip is for those that cant hit the greens in regulation. lol. In answer though, my chipping is pretty much up there. I had a 45% greenside saves and 75% sand saves in my hayday so I get by. The only chipping I do these days is with potatoes but I might start again next year when the sun shines again.

Tosh. That's a horrible thing to say in this day and age. There are thousands of wives taking their hubbies to court and taking all their money. Its the national sport these days.

My best mate was married for 24 years and when we were on tour, she had an affair and even lent the guy money, their money. When he got back home she was discovered and reported. He questioned her and she flew at him taunting him with really horrible jibes and slapped him. He restrained her and threw her onto the sofa. You guest it, he was arrested, done for abuse and she took the house and bankrupted him.

The only good thing was that 12 months later, her new BF had spent all her money and threw her out. She is on the phone to my mate every day now asking to come back. When he tells her to bugger off, she cries rape and gets him done. Defo a mans world aint it.

Chipping is the strongest part of my game, it is putting that lets me down most the time, too many two putts on those tricky little five footers though I am only a very fair weather golfer

Thousands of women across the country never end up pressing charges, for various reasons, though i'm sure you know that already.

But most of those are not married to someone famous & if Jim has actually admitted to hitting her (as well as her hitting him) why did she not press charges??
