My good friend John Broughton, 67...

Lost his 3 year battle with cancer 1½ hours ago...  sad24:

he had more chemotherapy, radiotherapy and operations than you could shake a stick at - yet he never gave up hope of a cure. Even when I visited him in the hospice on Sunday he was talking about getting well and coming home...  noooo:

I'm on the brandy...  redface:

Sounds like my kind of bloke.

I was chatting to an old chum at a funeral in December and he said "We seem to be getting near the front of the queue"
