Good grief.

I thought he died years ago. (must be thinking of another sci-fi author.)

Sad to hear about him. He could write.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Anyone of my age from the North East will be sad to learn that Mike Neville of Look North and then Tyne Tees news fame has died after a battle against cancer.  I always remember the way he put his pen in his pocket at the end of the bulletin!

I liked him as an actor and he certainly lived to a ripe old age.

Just heard that a friend, and one of the regular RPG players from my time in London, died suddenly at the weekend. He was only in his 40's, still quite young.  Being out here in NZ, suddenly each one of the miles separating my from that group of friends seems to be multiplied by ten.

I am pleased that we met up again in April and May for a few games of Traveller when I was in London, which as usual descended into madness with hair-brained schemes a plenty. So that my last memory is his smiling face, masking some dastardly plot  :)

I will miss Fraser, as he was one of the genuine nice guys

Cheers, I'll have a beer for you tonight friend.
