And another thing. They are trying to raise 20,000 pounds for him by hosting a charity event.
What!!??
Are their credit cards broken? Jimmy White and John Virgo could pay that with their pocket change. Come on, that is just annoying, pay for it yourself guys. He made you famous, and is the reason why you earn what you earn today

I hate too but i do agree with you,also saw an article today about the OLD VIC theatre trying to raise money for a new roof,a few hundred grand or so,Paul mc cartney is going to do a fund raising concert Paul have the night off and pay for the ****ing roof yerself ya tight b'stard
Paul have the night off and pay for the ****ing roof yerself ya tight b'stard"Stop drinking and we'll give you a new liver. Ok, I'll stop drinking. (aside: bollox I will)."
And then he withered away and died.
His choice on how he wanted to live his life, but a waste of a liver that could have been used for someone who wasn't going to get it pissed every night.

It also has echos of the George Best saga.

Alex Higgins died from the throat cancer he was fighting, when all is said and done snooker would have been a worse game without him.

RIP Alex.
Bestie, Higgins and Barry McGuigan were heroes when I was growing up on the Border. Such a tragic loss.

Classic Hurricane. A true legend of a man, be interesting to hear what all the past and present snooker champs have to say about him.
