The Buzz / Brian May suffers minor stroke
« Last post by Simon on September 04, 2024, 10:12 »Queen guitarist Sir Brian May has revealed he recently suffered a minor stroke, which left him unable to use his left arm.
However, the 77-year-old rock legend said he's now OK and has regained enough movement to be able to play music again.
"The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days," he said in a video posted on his website on Wednesday.
"I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago, and what they called it was a minor stroke.
"All of a sudden - out of the blue - I didn’t have any control over this arm. So it was a little scary, I have to say."

The Laughter Zone / Wine tester.
« Last post by Den on August 28, 2024, 20:45 »In an alcohol factory the regular tester died and the director started looking for a new one to hire.
A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position.
The director of the factory wondered how to send him away.
They tested him.
They gave him a glass with a drink.
He tried it and said, "It's red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers."
"That's correct", said the boss.
Another glass.
"It's red wine, cabernet, eight years old, a south western slope, oak barrels."
"Correct."
The director was astonished.
He winked at his secretary to suggest something.
She brought in a glass of urine.
The alcoholic tried it.
"It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant, made inside the office. And if you don't give me the job, I'll also tell who's the father!"
The boss collapsed!!!

Sports & Games / Sven-Göran Eriksson, England’s first overseas manager, dies aged 76
« Last post by Simon on August 26, 2024, 15:56 »Sven-Göran Eriksson, England’s first overseas manager and winner of multiple honours at club level, has died at the age of 76.
Eriksson revealed in January 2024 that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and that he likely had “at best” about a year to live. He had stood down from his final job, as sporting director at Karlstad in his native Sweden, the previous February because of what he described at the time as “health issues which are under investigation”.
