Bentrovato 1,096 Posted February 17, 2021 Never heard this guy at his work. Was he as controversial on his radio show as the Reverend Richard Coles is every Saturday on BBC Radio 4? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad luck. You can have great longevity genes it's useless if you're a heavy smoker and drinker. I know he smoked heavy unsure what he alcohol consumption was though.

Katyusha 120 Posted February 17, 2021 The only more fitting cause of death for this cigar aficionado would have been HIV/AIDS, considering the way he talked about its "homo" victims in the 80s. The only limits to this man's vitriol were what he could get away with at any given era of his career. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,690 Posted February 17, 2021 14 minutes ago, Joey Russ said: Interesting that he died of lung cancer. He started smoking as a teen, quit by the early 80s (so by the time he was in his early 30s) after a nasty case of bronchitis. Continued to smoke cigars, but assuming he didn’t inhale, that wouldn’t have caused the lung cancer. Likely the early habit of cigarette smoking did. That’s the kind of thing which makes me shit myself because although I quit a couple of years back, I was solidly on a pack-a-day for ~12 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I assumed clearly wrongly that the 95 in your name meant you were born in 1995. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, a few years older than that. Now that I think about it I have no idea why I chose “95”. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You watch him rot the mind of your grandparents and see how you feel about the guy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
