Jeeze, are they addictive? must be tricky before Christmas, all those tags hanging around, just waiting to be smoked

he's not all bad, he's probably paid for a small hospital in his time

addiction and bipolar are hugely linked and they also tend to feed off each other.

it`s not just substances, beeper`s get addiction based [for want of a better term] behaviours and interests.

it`s hard to put in a nutshell but being bipolar high is similar to being off your head on speed [which is also very addictive] and highs can go on for months..

I just can't see the relevance of that comment. Millions of people have addictions and dependencies, but they are not a public figure and therefore don't suffer the indignities Gazza does.

Let's deal with the facts and realities of the situation shall we, rather than pointless whataboutery.

The relevance being that whether a public figure or not, the overwhelming majority of individuals manage to get through life behaving like normal reasonable people, and therefore don't suffer the self inflicted indignities, such as the type Gazza experiences. Even if they are bi-polar or alcoholics.

Precisely what I am doing, and they are not "whatabouteries" they are the truth.

I assumed that tags was a typo for tabs, cigarettes in Geordie slang.

it's likely Gazza will go soon but he should at least show some self respect and die with dignity not going out like this

He is enabled far too much and always will be. Sadly it will be his demise.

Since posters have been mentioning George Best -

a pub in Manchester opened its doors on Xmas day to feed the homeless. So far, so good. Considering the alcohol problems that most homeless have, the landlord's George Best T-shirt was inappropriate to say the least see pic.
