Sad to hear, and shows that cancer can get any of us. Hopefully she can make a full recovery, and that the press and paparazzi respect her and her families privacy. 

Yeah, I'm guessing not going to happen.

You do realise we saw an actor giving that media statement!?

Joking, not joking.

With Will, Chuck and Harry out of action it was an opportunity for Andy to step up, shame he's a fuck up.

Hopefully the “preventative chemotherapy” suggests it’s nothing too serious. 

I wish it were that simple. There are sadly no guarantees. My wife had 12 cycles of adjuvent chemo for an abdominal cancer in 2020 following life saving and life changing surgery along with SABR radiotherapy to get rid of two spots on her lungs in early 2021. To all intents and purposes she was clear, until she wasn't. She didn't see the end of 2021.

Sorry to hear that. Took my wife for a diagnostic scan this morning, all good. The luck is all random, there but for the grace of god.

That's good news indeed.

The rich just keep getting richer.

 

 

Going 'green' has certainly been good for Charlie!  He gets a tidy little profit from every wind offshore wind farm.  No wonder he's been so keen to push his agenda.

Looking forward to Williams program on ending homelessness. I guess he would know having been given a 10 bedroom house with a swimming pool by his grandmother

Er... he once went to a soup kitchen.

What have you done to help the homeless?

Not give them money so they can spend it on drugs

When they ask for "50p for a cup of tea" they never take me up on my offer to take them to a cafe.

They know they should never go with strangers.

I'm not sure that dating the homeless counts.

I’ve got a book about that 1978 case to read over Xmas.

Georgi Markov was the victim. Allegedly.

The old days sort of like the fairly recent days when foreign powers could kill off their dissidents in Britain.
