Got stuck into a book last night after I went offline. Have to admit that it did make me cry a little too.
'The Two of Us' the autobiography written by Sheila Hancock about her life with John Thaw. In between the sections about where they were born and what happened to themselves while they were married and so on she writes about how John was coping with his illness and how she felt helpless when he had bad days. I got to the part last night when he died in her arms and how she cried and cried and wouldn't let him go.
The book is beautifully written, Sheila doesn't hold any punches about her feelings as she watched John slowly declining. Absolutely superb book, very thought provoking

Is that a boast or a comment Ally? Can't appreciate what I haven't heard, thinking about it I do like some opera, "Ride of the Valkyries" at 200w ok

Seen Slayer as well, at Donnington.
Also AC/DC (headlined '91) Mettalica, Thunder, Iron Maiden (headlined '92), Queensryche, Motley Crue, Kiss, and any others that appeared '91, '92.
Also seen Peter Green at the Redcar Bowl in '99 (the one from Fleetwood Mac, in his now 'Splinter Group' then with Cozy Powel on drums who was sadly killed a while ago. Alos playing with peter was Spike, who played keyboards for Queen (in the background of course)

.....oh poo....
Posty just been, I got to go for an echocardiogram next month....
I had one of those before, doesn't hurt or anything like that but it does tend to put the proverbial fear of God up you...

Just done something seriously impulsive....
Just ordered a new bed for myself, the chunky pine one I have is going into the spare bedroom and the new one is something I have always wanted.
A metal 4 poster.
It will be about as close as I am ever likely to get to romance

I have a number of their albums but was never a really big fan as I
preferred proper heavy metal. Also I never really got the point of
Angus Young trying to look like a schoolboy!

How about AC/DC then?
Used to have all their albums too....ah the memories of having the neighbours banging on the walls, complaining that their furniture was bouncing all over the place and their pictures and mirrors were falling off the walls...

I think Slayer are a bit heavier than Maiden or (ugh) Saxon!

You make it sound like there is something wrong with Slayer.
I've been a fan since about 1987 and have seen them four or five times!
