M.Lawrenson 11 Posted October 21, 2006 Tarbuck pulls out of dance show Yes, everyone's favourite golf-playing, fat scouse 'comedian' has high blood pressure. Haven't seen him on TV or in the news for ages so it can't be through overwork. I'd say he's in two (if not three) high-risk groups for a heart attack. After all, who thought Gene Pitney would drop dead at the same age? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmh8300 2 Posted October 22, 2006 Yes, everyone's favourite golf-playing, fat scouse 'comedian' has high blood pressure. Haven't seen him on TV or in the news for ages so it can't be through overwork. I'd say he's in two (if not three) high-risk groups for a heart attack. After all, who thought Gene Pitney would drop dead at the same age? The high risk groups being? 1. A scouser. 2. Fat. 3. Golf playing. Of these, surely the most dangerous is the first. I watched approximately five seconds of the show last night, and was delighted to see that Bruce Forsyth is looking distinctly old. Not late middle-aged, but early old age. He's still no doubt marvellously fit for a man of his age, although his hair is about 20 years younger, he's also still marvellously irritating. As Saki's phrase has it, he is "one of those people who would be enormously improved by death." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youwanticewiththat 611 Posted June 8, 2016 I think he needs reevaluating. Was he not in some yewtree kinda of razzmatazz? Mr Mugabe, I think, even by your standards you would be hard pushed to describe Tarbuck Towers in Kingston Upon Thames as a farm - leave yer re-evaluation alone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and me both - done quite a few Stranglers gigs over the years and they're one of the bands of choice for my merry little band of gig goers; along with Hawkwind who we love without reservation. Motorhead were our most seen band; but obviously The Stranglers may now pass them in terms of number of gigs seen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I have previously stated, I reckon he is a possibility for this year. His appearance on Harry Hills show last year was quite an eye opener, he was a shadow of his former self, or summat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,597 Posted February 19, 2020 My dad, dad's ternnis partner, my cousin all had prostate cancer within a few years of each other but are now free of cancer...and a prostate. However my friend's father died from it a few months ago (two weeks before Christmas). Though would probably have survived if he hadn't been stubborn and got checked sooner.
