Bugger.




So sad.

But what is going on? Cycling is supposed to keep you fit and healthy
yet he was only 63 and suffered a heart attack

A 65 year old friend who cycles 60 miles a day and is built like a
greyhound has just had a triple bypass.

Perhaps Gough Whitlam was right when he said, "I get enough exercise
attending the funerals of all those who do."

I guess I am at the age when you read the obitary column and realise
they are all your comtemporaries.

As you say, "bugger"

I seem to remember that he had developed MS. Not sure of the connection
to a heart attack.


But certainly concur with "bugger", his web pages were amongst the most
useful that I have come across, not to mention his April 1 spoofs.
