Given in recent interviews he's said both that his prognosis is fine and that he didn't think he'd see Christmas, I pity any hair left for anyone who picked him. On 17/01/2023 at 11:29, Grim Up North said: I saw him in a show the other night - looked to me like someone who was continuing doing what he does because that's been his life but looked ill - I could imagine he's on the way out.

Perhaps 1,423 Posted September 18, 2023 Just now, Toast said: That report is unashamedly a transcript of social media posts. Annoyingly common now. Any terminal celeb can post a picture on Instagram, health related or not, and it'll generate many "X issues new update amid cancer battle" headlines.

msc 18,439 Posted December 8, 2023 Hairy Biker Dave Myers has returned to TV, but in this fluff piece for The Mirror he says: Quote “It was emotional, but there were no tears. We wanted it to be a celebration that 18 months since my diagnosis I’m still here. I’ve done a series with my best mate, we’re back on the bikes, we’ve written a new book… We’ve had a bloody good time." Which doesn't sound very optimistic to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even his appearance in the Knorr stockpot ads is well, it's like the director said let's edge him out as much as possible. I mean, he's not one for my teams next year, but it wouldn't surprise me if he has a year left tbh. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,519 Posted December 8, 2023 Glad someone else noticed that about the Knorr adverts, was worried it was just me seeing the world through a deadpool filter. But yeah, it's like he's trying to get himself into shot while the camera focuses on the other, non-dying biker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Father Brown 209 Posted December 14, 2023 I noticed it too. In their shows, Dave tends to be the main guy on the screen while Si’s doing something else until they cut to him. Knorr advert was a bit jarring. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The missus is a fan and said the show was fairly honest about his chemo and neuropathy, they got him back on a bike which was clearly emotional for everyone. Nowt much for the form studiers other than the sight of a man who's clearly been ill heading back to health. Very non-specific on the details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
