More to the point, what will it mean for TV presentation - what this Forum is for!

If you're that up on Israeli politics, you'd hardly find it shocking news. He's hardly the fittest of men!

Given his age, he is quite healthy (of course, from the looks of it)

But I digress.

Oh god! After a year full of famous deaths in 2005, we will probably start 2006 with the death of another famous person.

Apparently, a stroke causes so much damage, you are better off dying from it rather than surviving.

Well, from a presentation point of view;

Sky News have stuck with the story since the top of the hour, with live pictures and Emma Hurd in-vision in Jerusalem.

Not too sure what BBC News 24 is doing, although CNN Pipeline has all of its live screens on the story;

Where did you get this question? You've used it all day.

Maybe some of us are just a *little* more versed in medical-type-dealies than you are.

Well, Sky are now quoted as saying 'Sharon may not recover'. He is reported to be in theatre now on life support, undergoing surgery for a Cerebral Haemorrhage.

Sky News have kept with this story since the top of the hour, would they try to wheel in some top guns for the overnight??

Sorry, Mr. "I am too smart for anyone to comprehend"

Some of us are just a bit more curious about things than others, you know Rolling Eyes
