[edit] Odds

He finished at 18/1 on paddy power, 28/1 on betfair and was even as high as 60/1 on betfair at one stage 86.43.82.13 (talk) 09:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

For most this would confuse people. I can't see how this is beneficial to the article Thenthornthing (talk) 09:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

It would be pertinenet to include the fact that he received extensive traing from Bov at the foundry dance studio in warrington —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dajhm1 (talk • contribs) 22:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DOB

Where have you got his date of birth from? I've seen it on various fan sites, i.e bebo groups etc. But haven't found a solid site with his date of birth on. Thenthornthing (talk) 13:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Quite right, me neither. I've changed it to just his age.LHMike (talk) 20:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

On 7 June 2008 George Sampson posted the following message onto his myspace page "Lil G chicargo rock 29th june ( my bday) 12 til 7.30". i think this may be proof enough. Now leave the lad and his birthday alone please. Thanks.[www.myspace.com/sampsonite33.com].--Audrey Knight (talk) 23:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

One, myspace is not a place to refrences to link to. Two you need to login {and add as a friend} to see the details. Three, it may not be his myspace, but someone pretending to be him. It's not unheard of. Until accurate factual sources arise, leave the date alone. If anyone changes it without saying so here it'll be reverted. Thenthornthing (talk) 05:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Health / Scheuermann's Disease

Concerning Scheuermann's affecting the optic nerve, I believe this is unlikely, despite a widely reported interview. Scheuermann's appears from available references to be a skeletal disease of the spine, causing curvature. It may affect the nerves in the spinal column. However, the optic nerves do not travel through the spinal column, and are unlikely to be directly or even indirectly affected by compression of or damage to the spinal column / nerves in the region of the thoracic vertebrae.

[edit] TOUR

I think there should be a new section for the tour, which has just started. I was there at hammersmith on 6th june and i george sampsons fame is spiralling out of control as over 300 people waited for him after the show at the back exit, which he was supposed to use to escape. He was mobbed. when on the bus he was waving with the cheeky monkeys, when his bus left the theatre hundreds of people ran after it, he waved at me!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.233.79 (talk) 08:29, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
