Bibliogryphon 9,591 Posted November 28, 2013 i think one day he will just literally drop dead lets hope it isn't a tommy cooper type of drop dead. Spoilsport. I suppose it would be entertaining . But i think brucie is one of the good guys ( saying that and he gets arrested by yewtree detectives next week) and I can think of a few above bruce that deserve it more. Then again with bruce refusing to retire maybe its probably how he would like to die. Bruce Forsyth is one of those people who splits the opinions of the nation but I must admit that he is the King of Light Entertainment, you may not like the product but he is one of the best proponents of the form. Ask yourself the question who would you rather watch Bruce, Jim Davidson, Michael Barrymore, Jonathon Ross or Lionel Blair. I rest my case. I'd watch Sooty in preference to any of that lot and read a book in preference to watching Sooty. We have a choice! This may come as a shock to a large part of the population.

None of that lot, including Bruce Forsyth, is fit to lace Sooty's boots. If I had a hand in it, I'd give Sooty the show. He'd make a good fist of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could this be the beginning of the end? unlikely as all the tests appear to be fine and he has been released from hospital but it is never a good sign when old people start falling over. I wouldn't be surprised if the old man made it to be 100 to be honest as he seems to be the type who will go on forever but one to keep an eye on all the same.

I'd say "he should be ok", but then, we don't know the type, size or what happened prior to his surgery. What happened was that an EIGHTY SEVEN year old man tripped and fell, the kind of thing most of us do from time to time but brush ourselves down and carry on. He has also had extremely invasive surgery which will take an 87 year old considerably longer to recover from as opposed to somebody much younger. He may well go on for another ten years but he wont. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
