That's actually terrible... Quote There is a wonderful jewellers, not far from where we live, that sells exquisite, handmade jewellery. Fortunately, Tony has come to understand it is one of his favourite shops for buying me gifts. I believe my gift for Valentine’s Day may well be bought in there. Fucking hell. Nice work if you can get away with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted May 14, 2017 Hm, does sound more like 2018 to me, at least he can still walk. It looks like Glen Campbell is a year ahead of him on the road to oblivion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the fact he has so many health issues that makes me think he wont make 2018.If he has a minor infection or another stroke and his heart will probs give out.

Like when my grandfather had terminal cancer, and I was shocked he was drinking a fair bit of whisky to recover from the shock. "Yeah, I'm fucking dying anyway!"

Quote A minor but current aim is to curb my spending in garden nurseries. It is a tough one. If I leave my purse at home I have a horror of something awful happening to me; being unconscious and no one knowing my name because I am not carrying identification. It is a bit like the fear instilled in us by grandmothers who insist we should always wear clean knickers in case of an accident. Anyhow, I keep my driving licence in my purse, so I need my purse. This makes passing my favourite nurseries and not popping in to see what is new very, very difficult. So, just don't keep a lot of money in your purse and leave your bank cards at home if you're going near one of these places. There, sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,327 Posted August 6, 2017 She also said in the article before the link that Tony didnt want to vote in the election and didnt like Corbyn.This shows how bad he is as he has always been a staunch Labour party activist who was friends with Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner.Significance not lost on his wife.Also being freezing cold in the heatwave particularly has limbs is ominous.

Well, COPD!? Also, don't laugh, but his comments about Labour under Miliband were the first inklings his mind was going going gone. Was unlikely a mentally able Booth would publicly slate the party like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,327 Posted August 7, 2017 I think Mrs Booth attributes it to his failing heart.Could be COPD as well. I dunno he slated Blair a few times.His comments on Milliband I thought were pretty accurate for someone with advanced Alzheimers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted August 7, 2017 The cold limbs make me think that if he dies this year, it will be of a heart attack rather than Alzheimer's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
