No more than Ulitzer has a fetish for the King dying.

No, it's not you, Jeremy.

I'm undecided. I'll probably go back to lurking once my muse is gone.

So, the sources are all over the place. The truth is likely somewhere in-between.

Knew it.

When was the last time I posted there? It must've been weeks ago. Ulitzer messaged me to say his source "came from a head of a newspaper who spoke directly with the King's surgeon".

Ulitzer messaged me to say "he's fucked".

The idea that the King's surgeon would divulge private medical information to a guy at a newspaper, fully expecting him to keep his counsel, beggars belief, surely? I've hardly done most of the posting there. You've probably got me confused with tango.

Whatever. Just don't write him off. Look at how many times we've written Carter off. It's entirely possible he gets through this and you know that.

You've made a name for yourself as a twat on this forum, so I'd be careful throwing stones in that glasshouse.

You're a Wikipedia editor, like me, and I expected more from you. I still do, even after all this, since you've done a lot of good work there.

No, you can't label someone a nutjob for calling out unverifiable information based on anonymous sources that can't be independently confirmed. The idea that whoever you spoke to was able to get the King's surgeon to divulge private medical information? How on earth are you this gullible? I'm not giving a name, bad or otherwise, to anyone. I just think it's absolutely outrageous to be writing off the King's life. It's completely disgusting and I think anybody with a shred of decency would agree. I've frequented this forum for over a decade, so I think I'll be fine.

It's entirely possible Charles beats the odds just like Carter did. It's absolutely possible and I don't know why you're being so cynical about his prospects based on anonymous, unnamed sources that you haven't been able to independently verify. If that source told you they were sleeping with the Princess of Wales, would you believe them as well? To believe this rubbish is so ridiculous it would be laughable if it wasn't so outrageous and borderline treasonous. Whoever gave you that misinformation is a scumbag of the highest order.

It's relevant here though. He survived cancer against all the odds and is still surviving now. If he can do it, I've got no doubt in my mind Charles can as well.

It's not gullible. You can't just act as if unnamed sources are somehow reliable. It's completely absurd. It's also completely ridiculous to assume the King has given up. People can and have survived what he's got. Jimmy Carter managed to survive metastatic cancer and he's still with us almost a decade on. If Charles' doctors are upbeat, that's obviously a good indication.

I call BS. They caught it early and he's responding well to treatment. His staff are upbeat.

He will outlive Jimmy.

It's apparently his favourite ice cream flavour.

My phone pings every time this thread is bumped.

He expects Biden to deliver his eulogy.

FWIW I'd never condone Tango's behaviour. I think he and @jondarru are the same person.

He is indeed.

Ma cacahuète?

I should change my name to mypeanut.
