Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck. I'm reading his memoirs right now, the man lived an amazing life, and is fast becoming my personal hero.

Hope he gets well, with all my heart.
Is there for honest poverty
That hangs his heid and a' that
The coward slave, we pass him by
We dare be puir for a' that.

If the poor sod kicks the bucket, how long until we start reading reports of his death bed conversion?

I give it 3 hours before the liars for jebus start plying their trade.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

This is why you shouldn't smoke kids. The man is a legend and a pioneer of journalism and a champion of polemic, may he get better soon.

Thought you'd all like to know, sad times. I posted it in politics, but obviously none of you care enough to look!

Ah shit, I don't smoke but I'm a dude who who drinks rum/whisky/vodka to wash down the spicy food I have for practically every meal. I put Jalapenos on my breakfast sandwiches for fuck sake :cry:

Is it too late to have a sex change, drink nothing but water and eat bland food? :worried: actually, that sounds shit, I'd rather die :?

Do you get acid reflux when you eat spicy food? That is a huge risk factor. And drinking and smoking together is a far larger risk than either on its own.

The only thing I seem to get acid reflux with is the cheap ASDA chocolate, I don't know why.
