    To be honest there have been so many terrible events and disasters over the years that the older one gets some inevitably slip your memory. I would have to google this one to prompt me.

    It's a rather sad indictment of the world really.

    I'm in a rather reflective mood today probably because I have been rather unwell for some time.

    I remember it like it was only yesterday. Me and Dev had just been on the pull in the Pink Elephant and Castle. Russ was called away as he had loads of experience slotting paddies. He'd just pulled a lush young sailor called Cuthbert and was none too happy, I can tell you!
