TQR 14,400 Posted May 6, 2018 Seems to have a fair amount of shit luck with his health...not quite sure though if he's DL-worthy just yet. He reckons he'll be back in a couple of weeks, in any case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted May 6, 2018 To be fair Marr isn't in that great a shape. He used to be a fitness fanatic and that likely boosted his immune system but I saw him crossing the road in London not too long ago and - let's just say - zebra crossings were made for those who move at his current pace!

You Maryporters ooze generosity of spirit towards all without suspicion or rancour :-) By the way,Melvyn Bragg,Anna Ford et al did something funny to their voices and so slipped past security at Euston without ringing alarm bells,I think you'll find Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they will be better. Watch for Andrew Neil sliding back in like nothing happened! (Marr used to be decent but that stroke a few years ago utterly fucked him over. Not just the lack of mobility down one side, but his mind was clearly not as sharp anymore.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still an idiotic career move though, the Andrew Neil of ten years ago would have seen right through the folk he now dislikes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
