Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted December 30, 2020 Let's all go on a bear hunt for former Children's Laureate and long-COVID poster boy Michael Rosen. Beloved by both British children and American memesmiths, he spent 47 days in intensive care this year, and according to a radio special reuniting him with those who looked after him in hospital he still suffers from constant dizzy spells and is blind in one eye. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got the opportunity once to thank him for a fair few memorable books/stories from my childhood and he was very gracious and kind about it. One of the names that are a no go area for me and my deadpools teams, tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dying Probably 578 Posted December 30, 2020 He's a brilliant writer - I think the UK had a unanimous sigh of relief when he left the hospital! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,026 Posted March 3, 2023 On Newscast, discloses he can't see out of his left eye and has problems hearing out of his left ear due to microbleeds on the brain he suffered from COVID infection. Quite lucid and clearly speaking otherwise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just for the laugh, we should do a poll him vs Keith Richards, i.e. the ageing honest guy doing his best to stay well vs the one every romantic claims to be immortal.

Still, one on the list of names I could never pick for anything (msc jr would kill me!) so hopefully he wont be troubling other deadpoolers for a while yet. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,026 Posted February 22 Why is he still here? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-13113193/Michael-Rosen-survivor-s-guilt-Covid-Why-I-here.html A question DDP teams who picked him are asking also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
