Has had a stroke. Don't know how serious or if it will affect his career though.
 
He's a dead fit runner - not the type you would expect.
 
I had a minor ischaemic stroke 5 weeks ago, and have just started back to work. Right side is probably back to 90% (and I can tell after a few hours at work) Now on blood thinning tablets for the rest of my life (according to the doc)
Whilst I was in hospital, an 18 yr old girl was admitted suffering from a stroke, so age isn't an issue where strokes are concerned.
 
I got thrown out of the hospital last week dont know what they got so upset about it was them that put the sign up saying Stroke Patients

Well, if you hang around in hospitals you soon end up thinking that everybody is ill.

It all depends what caused the stroke. Far more common in elderly people than young people. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that Mr Marr has been drinking too much booze, his heart got into a bit of a pickle and starting throwing blood clots off. One of which lodged in his brain.

Youngsters do have strokes, very rarely but it does happen, and more often than not there is alcohol involved.

Anyway I hope your recovery continues.
 
On one of my favourite cycle routes near Dunsop Bridge (the centre of the UK) there's a wild boar park that advertises chick stroking. I always have trouble riding past.
 
How come nothings been said about Stuart Hall ? The silence is eery
I met him 26 years ago. He's got really small hands . :cry:
