    Exactly! I might even take part in some good old fashioned WUMmery at the weekend. For now, I am glad we are able to set aside these differences :)

    Cancer is such a cruel disease; taking young and old without discrimination and always before their time. I am so glad you decided to do this Syd, I know even small amounts make a difference. Respect to all posters and those making donations. RIP Janie.

    To save doing some work, could we sticky it? I think as a thread this is the most worthy one to ever be stickied (if that is even a word)!

    problem is when you stick it it takes it off the other board, one of the problems with cross board threads.I will do a new one in a few days that can be stuck

    Syd, guys.....can you clear up for me (and my ignorance), please?
    Any donation goes to cancer research alone, yes? (I think so).
    Nothing to Billy himself? (Again I think so).
    Amsterdam Roger suggested "having a whip round" for Billy and
    his 3 kids. Brilliant idea. Do we have a lead to Roger's donation
    receptacle?
    Will donate to said site, Syd.

    all money to cancer research, was going to send flowers from not606 but Billy said no, donations he wanted.

    no problem with whip round just best to get Billies views, dont want to insult him him if you know what I mean.

    Never got to see any of my grandparents due to cancer.

    One of my best friends lost his mother at a young age to cancer.

    My cousin Debbie, a remarkable girl, lost her long fight with cancer aged 15. She touched anyone she met with her boundless energy, wisdom beyond her years and sheer determination not to let cancer ruin her life. She lived in Australia, I never got to meet her.


    Take care in this difficult time. I'm not going to pretend that I'm all of a sudden your closest buddy but my thoughts are with you.

    Thanks Syd.
    Get Billy's views, mate, please, and if ok, best to start a thread, yes?
    Billy answered me t'other day: his kids are 15,7 and 5.
    Splendid to have a "whip round" and give them all something this Season.
    They'll know anyway we're all Family.

    I think that all of us have either lost someone close, or will lose someone close to cancer some time in their lives...
    The difference with Billy's loss is the suddeness, which must be very difficult to take for him...My thoughts will be very much with him tomorrow...

    Absolutely amazing to see a group of people who don't know each other come together so strongly. Keep the head up Billy, we all spout some crap on here but we're good folk at the heart.
