Guy:Incognito · 21-11-2005 1:36am

Which news? cant see anything on sky.

MrSinn · 21-11-2005 1:38am

it was on ITN news

Guy:Incognito · 21-11-2005 1:40am

I cant find anything. The ticker on ss news, Itn and sky news has nothing

TCP/IP · 21-11-2005 1:40am

man if true that is so sad what a waste of a life

Guy:Incognito · 21-11-2005 1:42am

Itv news are talking bout it now with the headline "best's health", and running the doctor saying "the next 24 hrs are critical". Nothing mentioned of him being dead. I would have thought that was a major part of his healtth.

Their site agrees with me. http://www.itn.co.uk/

False alarm people, hopefully he'll pull through in the end.

Can we not start this crap again. He's a dieing man. If he was your father /brother you wouldnt come out in public and say the same.

Did'nt mean to offend anyone, just that he was given a second chance and blew it- My opinion

If only because he's still alive. Probably best to change the title too.

CerebralCortex · 21-11-2005 1:50am

Drinking what can you expect. For a start he was way to young to die but again the drinking.

Tar.Aldarion · 21-11-2005 2:00am

is he dying or dead?
I read the title as george bush has died

He's alive (and so is George Bush afaik)

Since the title isnt getting changed:

As of 01.23 on 21/11/05 George Best is ALIVE

MrSinn · 21-11-2005 2:26am

They did say that he had died,it was on the ticker!(must have got it from an unnamed source)

radiospan · 21-11-2005 2:27am

Remember when TV3 said the Pope was dead 24 hours before he actually died?

Are we going t keep this going for the rest of his life?

The official George Best deathwatch thread is here folks. Someone has to post every 5 mins to let us know he's still alive.

the post said he was dead according to my references he is not....whats the problem here????

It was a joke.

Anyway, the reason its there in massive writing halfway down the thread is so people dont have to be informed that the title is wrong (although if we wait long enough it will be right eventually).

TerrorFirmer · 21-11-2005 3:04am

Not trying to joke but I saw a picture of him today on his "Death Bed" as heralded by the paper, and he looked EXACTLY like Christopher Lee...

evad_lhorg · 21-11-2005 3:25am

MrSinn · 21-11-2005 1:05pm

Seriously, theres a whole thread on the "alcoholism is a disease" debate, in ah somewhere, Calling him a muppet and a waste is hardlynews.

So folks, back on topic, does anyone have an update for the "is GB still alive" ticker?
