Both your assumptions about me are incorrect, but that's no surprise. Firstly, I do not believe (and how would you know anyway as I've not said?!) that management spend all their time trawling the internet. But sites have been taken down in the past by them. Secondly, I haven't decided not to do anything. And who has actually said the argument had taken place in Turkey? I don't know where the idea that the argument took place in Turkey came from. This was my original post about it and it quite clearly says it happened in the Royal Brompton Jun 30, 2016 10:56:42 GMT 1 The Lord Flasheart said:
According to a showbiz forum I am a member of. Rick was seen last week in the Royal Brompton hospital having a right shouting match at someone. I sent the forum member a link to a pic of Simon Porter and it was him Rick was shouting at.Chinese whispers! Is it still PC to use that saying?

None of us no why this has happened and any connection to the Summer.
Maybe his sons tweet in the Summer was not aimed at the band or management but his soon to be ex wife.
Who knows. I certainly won't use these 'news' papers as the truth.
Maybe the villa was put up fir sale some time ago as this was on the cards. Status Quo will have earned 6-7 figures last year. I think he will be some way away from the poor house.
We don't know if this will make him happier or not. I just wish him the best.

In fact my very first post when I joined Ricky's board was a link to the Estate Agent where it was listed. I don't recall exactly when that was, but it was probably sometime between the 2 reunion tours.

There was a radio interview that americanquo posted here recently and in it, Francis said that Rick was uninsurable. Yep. First time I'd heard that, but it makes sense. But damn...I mean, my travel club has free medevac anywhere in the world back home, and it's only $100 mo. You'd think they could afford that. Insurers are a bit like the bookies (bookmakers) they look at the possibility of whether something will or won't happen. I and a few others have said for sometime that given his health record there was a good chance Quo wouldn't be able to get (or if they could the premium would be horrendous) to insure against gigs being cancelled due to Rick's health record (and that's only from what we know he has suffered/engaged in). Sounds like insurers have decided the odds of his health taking a turn for the worse were such that it wasn't worth it. It could also hjave been that the premium was so high that it has been more realistic for Quo to "carry" the risk of having to pay for a medivac. None of the news around all the recent events have made good reading.

Rick & Lyndsey were slso meant to have an interest in some kind of property company - not sure how involved they were or whether it was just the (Rick) association.

Plus ca change ... (I wonder which one of his exes he will be photographed with next? He always seems to get a lot of forgiveness, his Ma said as much years ago.) This isn't the first ding dong reported between him and Lyndsay, in fact when that thing with the saucepans was reported, i wondered if they both had throwing in mind. But here's another couple of kids caught up in it. And having kids to look after on one hand, and an aged Ma on the other hand, is not a funny situation. I guess Lyndsay must have wanted an exciting life, or she would have given him the barge pole treatment from the start ...

It was reported on a showbiz forum. I'm sure if it was false then Simon would have had the site/thread taken down by now like he has done in the past. Since it's not, and the person who posted it had no reason to make up a story about Rick, I believe it. Ah, so from another forum then, not a proper source.
Here's the post that was made:
He walked past me twice when I was in the Royal Brompton last week - the second time, he was having a right old go at the person with him - I assume his manager.
So not (as many people on here have claimed) an argument between Porter and Rick whilst Rick was laying in a hospital bed in Turkey then, this 'observed supposed argument' must have been many weeks after Rick was back in the UK AND fully mobile as the poster says 'He WALKED past me a couple of times'.
Not quite the heinious crime he is accused of then, particularly as the person concerned doesn't actually say what they were arguing about! Knowing Rick, it could actually be a case of Porter trying to stop Rick going outside for a cigarette or Rick saying he was well enough to play a gig - nobody apart from those concerned actually know.
That what I read. Just two blokes having a nark at each other about something. Happens all the time.
