Another battle with cancer...   noooo:

Perhaps they should choose less deadly foes that they could actually beat... I might try a battle with dandelions or summat....  rubschin:

An old friend of mine died last week from cancer...diagnosed in the late summer. I hadn't seen him for years and then he turned on Facebook. We met up for lunch twice, gone now...only 62.

But I have to say...since I have been doing the job with the out of hours GP's, I would sooner die young like that, rather than spend time in a nursing home in my 80's with no quality of life...and all dignity gone...

Agreed. I have lost so many in the last couple of years, . I want all good mates and all their 50s. I am making arrangements. The sooner the fucking gubbinent makes euthanasi legal the better, it has been going on for decades anyhow

I have a biography of him (Russell Davies - 1990); it was the first time I'd seen his wartime sketches as a prisoner of the Japanese. I think St Trinian's must have been a fanciful antidote having survived.

It would seem that he never quite got over the Japanese POW experience.
Many of his drawings in later years still carried the look.
