Ballesteros stable after fourth brain operation

Wednesday, 3 December 2008

Golfing legend Seve Ballesteros is said to be in a stable condition after undergoing further surgery in Madrid yesterday.

The 51-year-old Spaniard has now undergone four operations since being diagnosed with a brain tumour in October.

He has been moved back into intensive care after the latest procedure to drain fluid from his brain and to repair a bone defect.

Doctors at La Paz Hospital have already warned that his recovery will take a long time.

Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
