i was rather suprised the Sun didnt say something along the lines off "Marcus Scrimp a world renowned TB expert stated this is a direct result of spending time in the presence of Pete Doherty"..... In fact in the comming days as this progresses i bet they do. Anyway i really hope this is just paper talk and the reason amy is coughing up blood is because her lungs and throat have been ravaged by the constant crack smoke.... life fast die young!
