I see Charlie Gillett has died
This is sad. He was S S Sir Sixty Eight.


Edit: I was working on that all the time I was driving into work, and I thought it was quite amusing.

A question then: Is there anybody there?

on one hand he was the first DJ to play Dire Straits, which is good. On the other, he did the similar with Ian Dury, which is very very bad.

Biscuit has licked the keyboard clean of all crumbs and Benji is watching the men at work in the factory to make sure they're working hard.

Biscuit and Benji are dogs right?
Not office juniors to humiliate.

My ex wife died on Monday, I just heard.
She'd just turned 40. Far too young.

Sorry to hear that.
I hope you retain some good thoughts of her.

Sorry to hear that DG
How do you feel about it?
(Bazongaloid, Thu 18 Mar 2010, 9:42, Reply)

Knew it was coming
Still a bit weird though, as I found out in a general conversation with the landlord of one of my locals. Whatever happened between us, I didn't harbour any ill feeeling towards her in the end. Brain tumour - fucking nasty way to go.

Her immediate family
Didn't have my new contact details written down.

Two years and one month
of chemo and radiotherapy, and two brain tumours. Not pleasant, although she got 18 months more to live than her original diagnosis, and it was only in the last few months that she got too ill to enjoy the time she had left, I'm told.

oh
my grandad was the same with leukemia - outlived his original diagnosis by over a year.

bah, you must have mixed feelings on the whole thing Grandad but having someone you know pass away in those circumstances must be difficult, have a brief embarrassing man hug
