George Best to piss on Albion parade

[Man of Harveys]

I shared a house with a proper gambling addict - we're talking losing the inheritance in a few weeks.

In his own self-pitying mind, he was a victim of a terrible affliction which prompted him to piss away vast amounts of money in the bookies and he could do nothing about it. "It's an awful thing, a gambling addiction like mine, because there's no medical side effects that anyone can see," was a favourite quote.

But was he really just an innocent victim of a "disease"? Or did he have a very stupid habit which he looked for reasons outside of his own bad decisions in order to justify it to himself?

A bit like my NSC addiction...which is going to get me sacked from me new job unless Mr P comes good soon.

Waiting on this decision has turned you into a right bastard Tim

If we get a Yes, I want it to be headline news, and for the sporting press to have loads of discussions on it, and talk about how the new stadium looks etc.

But I'm sure that when George started down his path a few decades ago, he was not deliberately trying to die on the same day of our announcement. I can't really believe what I'm reading. He's not being an ungrateful git, he is mentaly ill.

Disappointed in you Tim. Don't let Jen see how heartless you are

Tim's gone back to bed, fed up waiting like the rest of us.....!

Either way, doesn't it seem George Best has bee dying for about 10 years now in the media? Think that's why people are unsympathetic too - people bored of the story now.

True

But I'm sure that when George started down his path a few decades ago, he was not deliberately trying to die on the same day of our announcement.

Yes he was

I really don't see alcoholism as a disease. Is heroin addiction a disease? Is smoking a disease? Can I catch any of them?0

You are an ignorant wanker
