I wish him well and a speedy recovery.

He does a lot of good work for worthy causes in Darlo and the north east.

I smoked about 30 a day and tried to stop three times.

I suspected smoking *might* have something to do with it.

So *might* living a stressful lifestyle. Or a million other factors.

No, but the fact he smoked heavily there's a stronger likelihood of it being a cause.

You can't deny that. Unless of course you doubt the damaging and lasting effects smoking has on the vascular system.

No, I'm not trying to diagnose the medical history of somebody I know nothing about.

What a weird tangent to the thread...
You need a full medical history to accept that heavy tobacco use is harmful? :confused:

Uther · 1 Oct 2012 at 21:27

Regardless, the blokes had a heart attack, and I wish him well.

Daze · 1 Oct 2012 at 21:27

Get well soon!

His heart was 'out' of it. Sorry it had to be done.

MooMoo444 · 1 Oct 2012 at 21:32

He should invest in a better heart.

"The doctors in this hospital are quacks and none of the nurses are fit. For that reason... I'm out"

*flatlines*

Of course heavy tobacco use is harmful. My point is that it was an irreverent comment to make about somebody having a severe health issue.

Wasn't that a TV show on CITV? I used to love that!

Why on earth is he in Darlington Memorial Hospital with all the money he has I will never know. Well, that's a lie - Its like 3 mins away from his HQ, but even so I would have been outta there faster than you can say "Nuffield". My wee girl was born there and I've had an op there - It's a horrible hospital!
