Octopus of Odstock 1,848 Posted March 8, 2006 Ik being told that despite what his agent says that Sir Patrick is gravely ill.We will see what the truth is in coming days i suppose You may be right, or not, but what is your source? Otherwise, it just looks like you are making stuff up. His agent says he'll be released hopefully on Thursday. That's been put on numerous news sites. I've still not seen signs to the contrary.

Guest iain Posted March 8, 2006 Sir Patrick Moore will be released from hospital..to die.He only has weeks to live apparentely.Could be lung cancer You see I phoned the hospital ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 1,848 Posted March 8, 2006 If this is true, which I doubt, which Doctor did you speak to? There is such a thing as patient confidentiality and whoever told you would (or should) be sacked immediately - I used to work in the NHS, so I know. I knew Bob Monkhouse was dying, but wasn't allowed to tell anyone, not even my family. Besides if it is true, they wouldn't bother to fit a pacemaker would they?!

Obviously had to put a replacement in. There is one person on the DDP who is on there for precisely the same reasons as Monkhouse would've been, but has responded better to treatment. They're on my DDP list this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 9,983 Posted March 9, 2006 CP. s'cuse the irrelevance of the post but.....cold climate or not,yer headgear in the latest avator picture is an unacceptable fashion statement in 2006.

Windsor 2,142 Posted March 15, 2006 anyone happen to know if hes out of hospital yet?Because if hes still in hospital it can only mean things are not going to plan... It doesn't mean anything iain. Lets not forget number 2 on this years list (I've forgotten his name). He had some sort of herat surgery and he was in hospital for ages. He's doing fine now though.

The number 2 selection seems to have been a major risk type pick. I would guess the kind of selection.. That is hopefully expected to die early on and since........it's mid March we may have to expect the number 2 canidate to just be taking up space for the remainder of the year. John Kenneth Galbraith would have been more the style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
