If he kept on boozing and smoking and eating his beloved meat pies he would have put in another good 10 years for sure.

You guys were sensible and science based in the coronovirus threads and although rooter is being jocular this is more serious for we men than covid is. Did you forget what actually killed him? HE WENT TO THE DOCTOR COMPLAINING OF CHEST PAIN! He did the right thing, that is the tragedy of it. BUT THE DOCTOR SENT HIM ON A BOOZY HOLIDAY!

Warne could have had another 25 years of meat pies and booze if he'd had essential, simple, non-surgical treatment. If any good is to come of this you blokes reading this, when it comes to chest pain, must take charge of your own health. Insist.
