Angry Wife Gets Revenge Via eBay
June 22, 2005
Tim Shaw has gotten in trouble again ΓΆ€” and this time it counts.
In February, as previously reported in Out There, the obnoxious British shock jock was suspended "indefinitely" from his radio DJ job for the on-air trashing of his boss' house.
Last Thursday night, he was doing his usual 10 p.m.-to-1 a.m. shift at Birmingham-based Kerrang! 105.2 FM ΓΆ€” here's his bio page ΓΆ€” when he told pin-up girl Jodie Marsh (search) on air that he'd be willing to leave his wife and two kids for her.
Unfortunately, his long-suffering wife was listening ΓΆ€” and quickly put up his Lotus Esprit Turbo sports car for sale on eBay.
"I need to get rid of this car immediately ΓΆ€” ideally in the next 2-3 hours before my cheating [jerk] husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street," Hayley Shaw wrote on the eBay description page, which as of Wednesday afternoon was still up.
"I am the registered owner and I have the log book. Please only buy if you can pick up tonight," she added.
The auction lasted exactly five minutes and three seconds. The car, estimated to be worth $45,000, sold for 50 pence (90 cents) and was soon driven away by a buyer who wishes to remain anonymous.
"I am sick of him disrespecting this family for the sake of his act," Hayley Shaw told a Birmingham newspaper. "The car is his pride and joy, but the idiot put my name on the log book [registration], so I just sold it. I didn't care about the money. I just wanted to get him back."
Last July, according to The Independent of London, Shaw upset his then-pregnant wife by saying on-air that he fantasized about sex with her sister. When she tearfully called to complain, he put her on air as well.
A month later, he nearly choked to death when a sausage he was simulating a sex act on broke in half.
A Kerrang! 105.2 spokesman said Tuesday that Shaw had taken a few days off to try to patch things up with his wife, who told newspapers "there is no hope for a reconciliation."

That hurts.

THe only irritating thing about this is I could've bought a car for a buck! I have a friend close to there who could've picked it up.
*DOH!* |

I'd be willing to bet it would...there are a LOT of star wars fans out there. I personally .... don't get it. I'm not a big Sci-Fi.
I say the guy deserved it...however, if the woman stays then I won't feel sorry for her.
