Terry Waite/John Mccarthy

Hallo all.

 

Reckon that being handcuffed to a radiator for a few years has probably affected these guys health so am tipping one of them to pass away this year.

 

Great forum by the way

Terry Waite does suffer from asthma a fair bit and has been an advocate of asthma awareness. Nice bloke, saw him once at Waterloo Station

As far as I'm aware both seem to be fairly healthy. Waite is getting on a bit in years, but should be around for a bit longer, as for McCarthy he will be 51 this year and seems to have no health problems.

Wouldn't it have kept him warm though?

But they would have also been on thier knees on bare concrete, probably a sure fire way to get arthritis.

Dodgy knees could lead to a fall down some stairs or a fall off a curb under a bus.

Hmmm possible but unlikely I'd say

Kinda missed this story. About a month ago Waite and McCarthy were back on Lebanese soil: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/05/11/former-hostages-terry-waite-john-mccarthy-lebanese-soil-together/

I have a huge amount of respect for Terry Waite. He earned his stripes especially when he fell asleep against the radiator.

Amazing what you find when you are looking up Douglas Hurd.

 

Terry Waite's brother, David Waite, died at the end of August aged 75: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/19540629.david-waite-brother-beirut-hostage-terry-waite-died/

 

He was a spokesman for the family during Terry Waite's detention.
