He does look very ill, despite the veneered, Teflon smile (which isn't really 'his', anyway, considering the dental 'improvements'). No lifer smoker has teef like that. Anyway, for his son's sake, hoping he's not as ill as he looks. COPD is a bastard and I'll bet my last fiver he has something 'of that ilk', given his smoking history. My mum has it and it's changed her from being a pocket rocket to a rusting, struggling submarine .
