George, 79, and The Crafty Cockney faced off on the oche throughout the 1980s.
Bristow was the face of darts in that era, winning five BDO World Championship titles.
He wrote in his autobiography: “Eric Bristow’s death hit me hard.
“He was only 60 for f***’s sake. That’s no age these days, is it?
“I had known him since he was a teenager – and he never changed.”
George admits Bristow wasn’t one to follow health advice – despite trying to give it to him.
He continued: “Anyone who knew him was aware that he didn’t exactly lead a healthy lifestyle.
When I go, I’ll go like that. Bang.
Eric Bristow
“For as long as I’d known him, he was a heavy smoker, always rolling his own.
“And he would think nothing of getting through 15 or 16 pints of Guinness in a day, rounding it all off with a curry.
“Nobody’s body can handle that day in, day out.
“I’d say, ‘You smoke and you drink too much.’
“He said, ‘I know all about that, Bob. But put it this way – no one is going to be pushing me around in a wheelchair. When I go, I’ll go like that. Bang.’

5 days agoNews PlusComments Off on Fire TV Sticks receive free sports boost that fixes common streaming issue
MILLIONS of Fire TV Stick owners are set to receive a big boost from BBC iPlayer that aims to end buffering.
The broadcaster is aiming to reduce the lag experienced by streamers watching live sports, ahead of the Wimbledon championships.
GettyThe goal is to cut the delay between the version of BBC Two broadcast via Freeview, satellite and cable and the iPlayer[/caption]
Fans watching on traditional TV can sometimes be ahead of the action.
This is especially the case if your house has slow Wi-Fi, or your areas bandwidth is being pushed to the max.
A delay in your streaming can happen when watching all kinds of content – but it’s most noticeable during sports events.
For example, you might hear your neighbour cheering for a goal before you see it on your screen.
The delay will always vary between users – but it can be up to a minute long.
The BBC is therefore trialling a low latency version of the BBC Two live stream – the one that will air this summer’s Wimbledon matches and Glastonbury sets.
The goal is to cut the delay between the version of BBC Two broadcast via Freeview, satellite and cable and the iPlayer.
Low latency refers to the time it takes for a TV signal to travel from one point to another, ideally with minimal delay.
The BBC is trialling it in a beta version of the iPlayer app – and only on four TV streaming devices:
3rd generation Amazon Fire TV Stick
2nd generation Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Samsung CU8000 TVs
Samsung CU8500 TVs
To try the BBC Two low latency, viewers will have to tune into a live stream between 9am and 5pm.
Accessing the BBC iPlayer beta requires a quick settings change – simply open the settings menu in the app and toggle on for ‘iPlayer beta’.
Viewers will also need to have their iPlayer region set to England and Scotland.
There is no low latency version of BBC Two Wales or BBC Two Northern Ireland.
Where to buy a Fire TV Stick
Fire TV Sticks are an easy way to add streaming to an older television. They’re manufactured by Amazon, but you can buy them from a number of different stores.

5 days agoNews PlusComments Off on Horrifying photos show the true cause of man’s itchy eye – after he found a LEECH feasting on his eyeball
A BRIT travel agent’s trip to test holiday hotspots became a “nightmare” when he discovered a leech sucking on his EYEBALL.
Tony Exall was on a jungle tour near West Papua, Indonesia on May 22 this year when his left eye began to irritate him.

Kennedy Newsand MediaHe blamed his eye irritation on sweat or a tiny bug[/caption]
Kennedy Newsand MediaTony’s bloodshot eye and the small black bloodsucker can be seen in the photo[/caption]
The 58-year-old blamed it on sweat or a tiny bug but two hours later a fellow visitor spotted that he actually had a leech on his eyeball.
A horrifying photo shows Tony’s bloodshot eye with the small black bloodsucker latched to the white area called the sclera.
Tony grew concerned it might wriggle its way behind his eye so ended his trip early to find medical help.
After six hours and trips to two hospitals a doctor extracted the leech using tweezers – despite the creature pulling on his eyeball tissue to hang on.
Tony, who owns travel company Philippine Dive Holidays, was in Indonesia to test out locations for customers when he decided to head on a photography trip.
The travel agent avoided catching an infection and achieved his aim of snapping a rare king bird-of-paradise minutes before the incident.
He posted the video to Facebook where users described it as ‘stuff nightmares are made of’ and like ‘something from a horror movie’.
Tony, from Oxted, Surrey, said: “I came over here to investigate different places to work with in Indonesia so I thought, while I’m here, I want to do a bit of bird snapping.
“We were waiting for the bird to turn up and I was sweating buckets.
“I could feel something in my eye but I just thought it was a bug. I tried to get rid of it but couldn’t so I tried to ignore it.
“There were leeches everywhere and I must have used the back of my hand to wipe the sweat so I essentially wiped it into my eye.
“A couple hours later we went to move on to somewhere else and one of my spotters pointed out the leech in my eye.
“My biggest concern was that it would get round the back of my eye. He tried to pull it out with his fingers.
“He was pinching my eyeball to get it out but the leech was fixed onto my eyeball. I tried rubbing it but I couldn’t get it out.”
Tony had trekked two hours through the jungle near Malagufuk, West Papua, to reach an area known for king bird-of-paradise sightings.
After having the leech pulled from his eye, Tony was prescribed eye drops and antibiotics to make sure he didn’t develop an infection.
You hear these stories about tropical diseases and infections and having one in your eye is not the best place to have one
Tony Exall
Tony said: “We went to two hospitals to find someone that knew something about eyes.
“At first he tried to remove it and that was quite sore because a leech grabs hold of something and starts to suck the blood.
“He started to gently pull the leech which was quite sore as it was something pulling on my eyeball.
“My next concern was how do you get it off my eye without leaving anything behind.
“You hear these stories about tropical diseases and infections and having one in your eye is not the best place to have one.
“The doctor then squirted some anaesthetic drops onto my eye, got some tweezers and pop, off it came.

“The tissue of my eye was being pulled. I have never had that sensation before.”
After sharing the “squeamish” photos of his eye on Facebook, freaked-out users were quick to comment on his bizarre experience.
One user said: “I’m not usually squeamish but that is stuff from horror movies! Hope everything is okay now.”
Another added: “Omg you need a trigger warning on this post. Sounds awful, hope you recover quickly.”
A third said: “Stuff nightmares are made of.”
A fourth added: “Dangerous stuff, this photography.”
What to do if you have a foreign object in your eye
Advise the casualty not to rub their eye as this could make it worse. Ask them to sit down facing a light.
Stand behind them and gently open their eyelids with your thumbs. Ask them to look right, left, up and down as you look closely at the eye.
If you can see something, ask them to tip their head backwards and wash it out by pouring clean water from the inner corner from a glass or jug.
If this doesn’t work and the object is still on the surface of the eye, try to remove it with a moist piece of gauze or the damp corner of a clean handkerchief or tissue.If the object isn’t easy to remove or the eye is very painful, seek medical advice – ring 111 or attend an Eye Casualty, Emergency Department or Urgent Treatment Centre.
