manc-mag 1 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Very sad. Wonder whats for the best sometimes....... I dont imagine he's had any quality of life for God knows how long now. Arguable he never could either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46961 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Sounds harsh, but it's probably a case of the sooner he goes the better now. My uncle went like this a couple of years back, and it's a pretty miserable existence towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46961 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Has anyone ever heard the interviews on the radio/telly with Best's doctor outside the hospital? He always sounds absolutely RAT-ARSED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22343 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 we having a sweepstake at work for what time he'll go, is that a bit sick and disrespectful? 60183[/snapback] You can imagine Best being involved in something like that himself when he was younger. Personally, I think it's a bit sick as someone will be happy when he dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46961 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 For all the drawn-out saga that it's been, it's really sad now that you know he's definitely going to die soon. And all for the sake of drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mags 1 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Terrible thing, yet my sympathy is tempered- didn't he have a liver transplant some years ago? And still drinking? Not meaning this in a cruel or harsh way, and I would never wish that kind of death on anyone , but fact is he brought it on himself. Tragic tho.

It's not like he made a conscious decision to become an alcoholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
