Sean 6,045 Posted September 23, 2016 The BBC describe his condition as a severe form oof dementia.Trying to find the life expectancy. The prognosis for life in a patient with aphasia depends on the cause of the aphasia. A left hemisphere glioblastoma may be associated with a very short life expectancy, whereas a minor stroke may have an excellent prognosis. It is the underlying pathology, not the aphasia itself, that determines prognosis. There have been whispers about Jones's health for some time now though... Note - aphasia is often reversible, Primary progressive aphasia is not. If caused by cancer or a serious stroke, the outlook is very grim. What whispers did you hear?I only heard he had cancer a few years back and was needing cue cards during the Monty Python 2014 tour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That the 2014 event, at the time, was likely to be the last "due to Terry's health" (not specific). And today's news is confirmation of open secret among some journos.

Can't locate it yet but surely it's only a matter of time before someone starts claiming this as divine retribution for his role in directing The Life of Brian.

Sir Creep 7,033 Posted September 24, 2016 He's one of the six main members of Monty Python. Blimey, they kept that one quiet! I was somewhat bewildered why he was posted in the Monty Python thread to be honest. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted February 15, 2017 CBA just now, but if I find the MPFC thread (not Maryport) I'll merge it. Just save the entire thread list as one complete webpage then you can control f to find the thread you're looking for and then click on it to take you to it. I can't post a link to it because the webpage is personal to the user and I can't add the pdf file of it here because it's too large. Here's the pdf of the deadpools though because it's much smaller.
