Drew Busby ! Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Have to say ... feel a wee bit sorry for the bloke ... he had a few drinks, maybe he did something a bit silly behind closed doors. Then he gets back up here and the presbyterian press are all over it. Wonder how the journos would like it if the beans were spilled about their wee indiscretions...

Add the fact he's getting on abit and prob no longer finds his wife attractive, he's quite with in his rights to touch up, feel other woman who may or may not be married.. or attracted to him. Id imagine he doesnt find her in the least bit attractive. Check out the picture of her on page 9 of the sun. She makes Jo Brand look like Carmen Electra.

Tazio Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 He is supposed to have more than a little problem with the drink.Allegedly. Never liked the guy, but now I am starting to develop a grudging respect for him. A drunk who chases younger women. What's not to like;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Weathers Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Last year he said of his drinking: "The problem I've got with booze is a fairly straightforward one, which is I don't know when to stop." I feel his pain. I can easily slip into the point of no return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's called dipsomania. A lot of people have it but I only know one person where their doctor named it. Not alcoholic as you can happily function without booze from day to day and even abstain for long periods. However when you do have a few, you keep going until FUBAR ensues.
