Sad to report that legendary boxing commentator and journalist Reg Gutteridge has died after a short illness aged 84.

I'm buying the next round  of drinks - I know it's early on a Sunday morning but anyone fancy raising a toast to a very dear friend of mine who died this morning from cancer, will be welcome .

She was the loveliest person and I will miss her  sad32: sad32: sad32:

HOw awful. I know it wasn't unexpected, but it's a nasty business. When old people die it's often a relief, including for them, but not in this case.

Funeral will be ghastly

So sorry to hear that Miss D ~ not unexpected perhaps but a bugger none the less.

It was a relief - no more suffering for her but her husband was inconsolable this morning and I feel so useless to help  sad32:

Aaahh thanks Pastis - much appreciated

It is good in many ways but so unjust in others. I am just grateful for what I do have - even though I moan like hell about that most of the time. noooo:
