Sad news about his terminal diagnosis.

Also his wife has MS.
How the guy is still smiling is testament to the guys bravery.

Having spent time with Ebby towards the end of his time on Earth i was always amazed and humbled by his drive and positivness.
Tim was the same. Tim was a quiet unassuming bloke but the blokes fight and bravery still beings me to my knees to this day.
Carmen was not terminal but knew her time would be short and that girl fought like a wildcat til the bitter end.

The bravery and old fashioned stiff upper lip really shows with these people.
We are a worse off society without these brave souls.

But the biggest thing they didn't make it to the papers for sympathy yes people who have terminal illnesses a very brave knowing that there bodies are failing them but why are those that are in the public eye braver or according to the MSN give them all the sympathy that boils my piss

Take your point fully TB.

Gracious and steadfast.

I got to really like John (Ebby). A "mans man" 100%. The guy showed his inner strength by coming to Carmens funeral despite his own fight.
It was the same with Big Kev. A total twat! But the guy was as straight as an arrow.

My personal life is emptier without them all.

Yep, plus get checked out if you've got any symptoms. A lot of blokes are too slow to ring up the doc.

The bloke has got an incredibly positive attitude towards both his and his wife's diagnosis. Hats off to him.
