And now out and about chillin at the golf course. Admitted to having 'the worst lifestyle possible" so this was a warning to him, and he is changing his ways. We shall see.SC http://www.u.tv/News/2015/05/30/Peter-Robinson-attends-Irish-Open-38157 3 stents? Within the week? When I had my minor heart attack in January, it was March before they offered me even an investigation as to whether to get a stent. (I declined, I had a premonition that I would take an allergic reaction to the stuff they put through you). He's on my DDP list now, the privileged so-and-so, quicker you get your stents, quicker they fur up imho! Enjoy being added to DDP next year!
