Jeremy Paxman Tipsy On University Challenge.

[pattricia 575]

Has anyone else  just been watching University Challenge?  I don’t know whether it was my imagination but he sounded tipsy to me. He slurred his words when asking questions. The contestants were sometimes having trouble hearing what he was saying.

It could be to do with his Parkinson's disease.  He said earlier this year that he'd been diagnosed with it.

Even the sub titles were a little bit blurred...

I’m sorry, I didn’t know that. Yes, that could have been the reason.

Don't feel bad.  I think quite a few have only recently read about his diagnosis.

Yes, there are some other celebrities who have been diagnosed with it but just can’t remember who they are at the moment. I suppose there are even more than that but some won’t want to publisise it will they.? Also more men than women seem to get it don’t they ?

There was a report some time back that Angela Merkel may have  it as  it was reported that her head was shaking,  not heard anything since though.

Reading some of your post's Pat, It's enough to drive anyone Mental..

EG.

George Clooney

Flashers,

Peeping Toms,

Hunky firemen,

Ronnie O'sullivan bending over,

Dates with bald Doctors,

Padded nylon bra's,

Walking into lamp post's, and many more......

Twice you have referred to Rod Stewart as Rod Stuart,

And your last post, IT'S ruddy publicize.   .

Only teasing Pat, we all love you..

Just shows you’re keeping your eye on me ! I’m not at all like I seem on SF. I’m quiet, subdued and shy.! I’m as pure as the driven slush, but like Snow White I drifted ! ( you’re not bad yourself Padders.! ) Now there all wondering, “ How does she know that !)

Politicians  found it hard to avoid answering questions when Robin Day and Jeremy Paxman were on their cases unless they stormed off like Thatcher did.
