Lotto winner Pete Kyle skint on dole | The Sun |HomePage|News

But now he is on the dole after squandering ALL of his massive fortune at the rate of £4,600 A DAY. The Sun can reveal potless Pete even OWES money and has angry creditors chasing him for cash. He is working as a caretaker at a grubby budget hotel and also claims around £100 a week in disability living allowance and mobility allowance. “It’s hard to believe he was a millionaire, now he’s just a mess.”
The former Royal Artillery gunner won his fortune in February 2005. He celebrated by playing bingo with his mates and promptly won another £500. He then blew cash on a £550,000 house, a £40,000 Mercedes, a £40,000 Range Rover and another £20,000 4×4. He also gave money to kids Gemma, 23, and Roy, 14. But within months he was dubbed the country’s meanest man after refusing to help care for four of his brothers and sisters. Jean, 55, Carol, 49, David, 52, and Steven, 47, all suffer from incurable Huntington’s disease. But relatives claimed Pete had refused to give them a penny. He was still a millionaire last year. But now Pete has sold his luxury home and his fleet of cars. He drives a battered Vauxhall Astra and works at the £15-a-night Rooms guesthouse in his home town. It sits on one of Plymouth’s grubbiest streets opposite a derelict theatre, a tattoo parlour and next to a sex shop called Slinkies. The cash-up-front venue boasts just a few squalid rooms, each with a basic bed and TV. A source said: “Pete has been working at the hotel for a few months just to get by. He has his own room, marked private, and he spends a lot of time in there.
Money does strange things to stupid people, or is it stupid things to strange people?
#23 BubbaRay should add himself to the DipDork award. Temperatures have been falling since 1998. And the winter of 2007/2008 will go into the record books as one of the coldest and snowiest winters in years.
Anyone seen Al Gore try to spin an answer to these facts? Oh yeah, if the temperature goes up, goes down, or even stays the same, it is due to man and he now calls it Global Change.
#32–jbenson==so not one bitter person in the Midwest at all huh?
Ok, if how the USA has been going for the past 20 years hasn’t made anyone bitter, could ANYTHING make them bitter?
Oh yea–take their guns away. Nevermind.
#33 – jbenson2
Ever heard of fluctuations?
>>He said 100 years of troops in Iraq like we
>>now have troops in Japan and Germany.
Don’t forget South Korea. He said that too. And he also said:
“That’d be fine with me as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed.” HAW!!
Don’t forget, South Koreans, Japanese, and Germans are civilized, don’t go around suicide-bombing themselves and killing innocent civilians out of religious zealotry. They do that in Iraq, and they’re going to keep on doing that. If you think not, then you’re as daffy as Dumbya.
>>yes I have been a mid-westerner all my
>>life yes that dipshit IS most assuredly
>>an elitist asshole.
Then you need to get out of the mid-west, Steve-O. Maybe you just don’t recognize it because you’re immersed in it every day. I’ve spent about 15% of my life in the midwest, and (except for Chicago and Minneapolis and a few other “elitist” hotspots), the guy was spot-on.
If by “elitist”, you mean “not a dimwitted imbecile like the Retard-in-Chief”, then I guess you’re right. Most folks, in that case, would prefer an “elitist” to a puffed-up windbag chickenhawk brush-clearer like Dumbya. Sorry if that offends your midwestern sensibilities, but that’s America. And as the last generation of rednecks used to say, “Love It or Leave It”. We’re done with Bush I, II, and there’s nfw we’re voting in Bush III.
Buying a home = “blowing cash”?
Hmmm…
#36–Mustard==lets take McCain at his word, and extend it only just a little bit. We could stay in Iraq for 100 years as long as Americans aren’t getting killed.
But we are- — so whats the response now?
Seems like McCain, in effect, just gave the predicate for leaving asap.
We just need to take our politicians at their words, and then hold them to it.
>>We just need to take our politicians
>>at their words, and then hold them
>>to it.
Ah, Mister Bobbolina, you’re such an idealist. What do we do when they do NOT stick to their words? Impeach them? Haw! How much luck have we had impeaching Dumbya, and if there was ever a gasbag loser who deserved impeachment, it was him.
We pretty much ignore the war in Iraq right now. How much attention do you think we’ll pay to it 40 years from now? It will just get factored into the cost of the economy, like corporate welfare, bailing out investment banks, or maintaining interstate highways.
#39–Mustard, I love it when you are right. Hate what you are right about.
#39 – If Albore or Horseface Kerry had gotten in then we’d have seen someone who deserved impeachment more than Clinton. (And we won’t even bring up Carter – who’s very name should be considered profanity.)
#36 Mister Mustard – I should have been more specific about my time in the midwest. I have lived in Kalifornia and New York (Long Island) and never met a more elitist bunch of pricks in my whole substantial life. Not all of them since I don’t like to use absolutes.
I’m not happy with the three candidates we have up for this year.
You have read a few of my posts and should already know I’m not happy with Bush either.
What makes you think you could impeach Bush over what he has done. Hell, Clinton was impeached and that perjuring asshat still served out the rest of his term.
#41 Pedro – Kamikaze’s are just warm fuzzy people trying to get their point across. Although they only get one shot at it….
Steve-O, Clinton was lying about sticking Cuban cigars in a fat intern’s pussy, and things that have nothing to do with his ability to run the country.
Dumbya has lied right from the get-go, and as a result, 4000 young Americans are dead, hundreds of thousands worldwide, America is a laughing-stock, our economy is in the crapper, and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. At least not until the last vestiges of his Dummy Regime are expunged from any position of power.
It’s the difference between a company executive getting nabbed for littering, vs. one who stole from the company till and sold corporate secrets to the competition. Everything the Retard-in-Chief has done since he stole the office in the 2000 elections has been to the detriment of the country. He should have been impeached after his misbegotten invasion of Iraq. For the sake of the country.
As to the “elitist pricks”, maybe they’re not elitist, they’re just smarter than folks from East Bumfuck, Middle/ Red Amerika, who marry their sisters and keep shotguns in bed with them. They may come off as “elitist” to Aryan Nation crackheads, when in reality, they just can’t act stupid enough to fit in with that crowd.
#44 MM – I didn’t figure I’d get called and Aryan Nation crackhead today but what do I know. I’m just living here with the rest of my “Red Amerikans”.
I’ll bet you and I agree with a lot more than we disagree on but today you are in rare form espousing a large load of crap.
$$–Mustard, its worse than you say.
He has admitted repeatedly to violating FISA regulations and wants a new law to prevent lawsuits agains the TElcoms he co-erced into compliance with Federal Requests.
He has as good as admitted to violating US and international rules prohibiting torture.
He has a written track record of “signing statements” werein he documents that he is not going to follow the law.
There will never be another president with proof so glaring objectively available that warrants impeachment.
Steve-O, I would never call youan Aryan Nation crackhead. I know that some of that East Coast and West Coast tolerance has rubbed off on you.
And Mister Bobbolina, I’m with you 100%. But if I had to re-list all the crimes the Retard-in-Chief has committed against America and against humanity, I’d probably get kicked off this site for taking up too much space and wasting bandwidth.
Everyone with a brain at least the size of a raisin knows all the damage Dumbya has done in his eight years as Court Jester. And the rest of the people are probably lobbying for a Constitutional amendment to all him to run (or be named) for a third term. Rider to the bill will be de-criminalizing marrying one’s sister or mother.
#46 bobbo – Finally you posted something I am almost in agreement with and if it kept up I would agree with the impeachment.
Mister Mustard I don’t know anyone who fully supports the kinds of things Bush has done.
Some people just don’t seem to care that their rights are being taken away left and right by this administration all in the name of security. Horseshit I say. I don’t want the government stepping in taking things away or doing things for me just because THEY think it’s good for me.
>>I don’t know anyone who fully supports
>>the kinds of things Bush has done.
Wha? I thought you lived in the midwest, Steve-O. Throwing civil liberties into the Dumpster(R), unilateral invasion of a tinhorn dictator (by a chhickenhawk, no less) and bungling the “war effort” to the point that a chimpanzee could have done better, that kind of stuff seems to go over real well with the Red-Staters.
>>and if it kept up I would agree with
>>the impeachment.
“IF it kept up”??? Hss it stopped? When did it stop? Last I heard, Dumbya was still pushing for warrantless, no-questions-asked snooping into anyone’s life that he and his Gestapo feel need snooping into.
And it’s obvious that he still views the US Constitution as “just a goddamned piece of paper”.
We’ve still got 8 months left. Impeach the bastard. And then bring him up on criminal charges.
#49 MM – Now you are starting to sound like one of the whackos on the History channel right now about the 911 conspiracy. Are you sure you are not suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome.
I meant kept up after his term ends.
He’ll be out and we can go on from there. I just wish it was somebody other than the three we have offered.
#50–Steve0–that’s exactly why Bush should be impeached NOW–(((as Nixon should have been===god damn ass covering douchbag Repuglican criminal party))). You impeach President A to keep B, C, and D in line. God forbid Hilary ever got into office with the precedents Bush has set for her.
We make our Presidents de facto KINGS for an elected term. Just thought that’s why certain offices should be civil service and not appointed.==Gonzo should be criminally prosecuted as well.
Hard to know when to stop prosecuting when the subject actually comes up!!! (HAR!!!))
>>Now you are starting to sound like one of
>>the whackos on the History channel
What, the History Channel is now a vast, left-wing conspiracy? Sheesh.
>>I meant kept up after his term ends.
Well, once his term ends, we can’t very well impeach him, can we? The only option would be criminal charges, and NO ONE thinks that’s ever going to happen, no matter how many criminal acts he’s committed.
#51 bobbo – Short of a revolution how were you proposing we the screwed over people do a damn thing about when the sheeple just baa all the way to slaughter?
Impeaching someone does nothing. It was done a few years ago and nothing happened. Hell, the sheeple probably don’t even remember it.
>>Impeaching someone does nothing.
>>It was done a few years ago and
>>nothing happened. Hell, the sheeple
>>probably don’t even remember it.
Oh, everyone remembers it. Who doesn’t remember Monica and her stained blue dress?
The difference is that Bill was impeached largely because he stuffed Cuban cigars into fat-girl pussy.
Dumbya would be impeached for crimes against humanity, attempting to destroy America, and maybe (if we’re lucky) terminal stupidity.
There’s a diffrence between cigar-fucking a chubby bimbo and sending 4000 American kids to their deaths. Not to mention shredding the Constitution and using it for toilet paper.
#53–Steve0==what we “should do” is very different from what will be done. Two separate issues.
A do nothing Bush compliant Congress is a bad thing. As I’ve posted, Bush is the most impeachable President I can think of but our President is King.
Values out of whack. I don’t expect anything more from a “Christians Values Nation” with a Christian Spouting President.
Clinton was impeached by the house but acquited by the Senate all on a party line vote. Our country was not designed for a two party system, yet that is what we have.
Impeachment is the right or wrong thing to do when it is the right or wrong thing to do. Misapplying history has nothing to do with it.
I could spend 10$ million is three hours.
Its called a Bombardier Learjet 60XR.
You people don’t know how to spend money. It’s an art.
Just to get us back to the original topic –
This kind of thing isn’t a big surprise. People who aren’t prepared to handle small amounts of money responsibly (and buying lottery tickets is an excellent example of financial irresponsibility) aren’t prepared to handle large amounts either.

#34 Bobo said: “so not one bitter person in the Midwest at all huh?”
Wow! You are really dredging the bottom of the LOGIC BARREL with that comment.
Obama and his allies are making a lame attempt to focus on the “bitter” portion of his comment.
It’s understandable. Had he just stopped there, he would have had an arguable point. Unfortunately for his campaign, he didn’t stop there — and he revealed his snobby, elitist view of middle America that is also held by the hard Left. Some of the media allowed him this defense because they also don’t understand the offensive and snobbish nature of the Obama remarks.
The O-man’s comments are reaching critical mass at a perfect time – a week before the Pennsylvania primaries. There is no way Hillary will bail at this point. All she has to do is sit back and wait for Obama to speak again without the aid of a pre-scripted teleprompter.
#35 – Rather than look at fluctuations, I think we should look at the cause of the Global Warming. Perhaps it is man-made.
>>view of middle America that is also
>>held by the hard Left.
Not only the hard Left, but the soft Left, the centrists, and even those on the moderate Right.
Anyone who thinks otherwise has never been to East Bumfuck, Middle America.
Guns, religion, bitterness….it ain’t pretty!
#58–jb==ok, I googled the total context of Obama’s statements. I think thinking the statement is snobbish is not unreasonable, but thinking it is a valid start of a conversation or part of any understanding of people who don’t vote their economic self interest is also reasonable.
So, on an issue that can be fairly taken in somewhat opposing ways, Obama should explain himself.
What does make people religious? or love guns, or hate minorities? Yes, I highlighted YOUR logic by using it myself. Not all of any group is motivated by any one thing.
Hang in there, news at 5.
#58, jbenson
Obama and his allies are making a lame attempt to focus on the “bitter” portion of his comment.
Geeze, you think Obama made a harsh statement? Try < a href=http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2008/04/barack-obama-hates-you.htmlJohn McCain relating the same sentiment.
“It’s the influx of illegals into places where they’ve never seen a Hispanic influence before,” [John] McCain told me. “You probably see more emotion in Iowa than you do in Arizona on this issue. I was in a town in Iowa, and twenty years ago there were no Hispanics in the town. Then a meatpacking facility was opened up. Now twenty per cent of their population is Hispanic. There were senior citizens there who were—‘concerned’ is not the word. They see this as an assault on their culture, what they view as an impact on what have been their traditions in Iowa, in the small towns in Iowa. So you get questions like ‘Why do I have to punch 1 for English?’ ‘Why can’t they speak English?’ It’s become larger than just the fact that we need to enforce our borders.”
Those most upset about Obama’s comment are the same wing nuts that wouldn’t vote for him anyway. The same crowd that gives an endorsement to “Bomb bomb Iran”.
HOW IN THE HELL!! did this subject go from some jerk from Britain blowing £5.1 million to bush and obama?
Are you guys so screwed in the head you can’t stick to the freak’n subject.
Maybe you need to take your obsessions to another site.
