Whilst the world mourns a man who lost his battle with cancer yesterday, myself, my colleagues, and a couple of families and a few other men and women in the West Midlands are mourning the loss of another man who lost his battle with cancer yesterday.
Steve was a dev team leader where I currently work, he was in his early thirties, a few years ago he got married and just as the two of them should have been looking forward to their life ahead as a family he got the news he had a rare form of cancer.
He has fought it for years, very, very nearly died a number of times over the last couple, had a hell of a lot of other people's blood pumped into him, but last night was the limit he could do.
He was a wonderful man, one of the nicest people I have ever met, intelligent, witty, and his wife was lovely too. He has not been at work much over the last two or three years and I have missed him, the news shouldn't have come as a shock, but it has, massively.
I don't know how to process the news at the moment, typing this with tears streaming down my face, grief is a very selfish thing, but I am absolutely gutted for his wife.
I shall raise a glass of Hobgoblin for my mate Steve, and then a few more.

All one can do is to keep him in good memory, though it doesn't compensate for the loss...

I saw an email response had been blocked for language, I thought that'll be from Nagy.
Made me smile, thanks for that.

A poem I wrote - not all that long ago:
The things upon which our happiness depends
Are the self same reasons by which it ends.
Grief isn't selfish - it's the price you pay for caring.
Imagine life without either.

Well that sucks mightily, extra bad when it happens to someone that young.

There are few who haven't had cancer invade their lives in one form or another, it is never easy or painless. Here's hoping that Steven's family and friends gather the strength to get through this.
Here's to Steven.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's hard losing a good person in your life. My thoughts for his family.
I'll raise a to his memory - and it's not a bad idea to raise one for all those who have left us too soon.
cheers

The ever first Israeli Basketball League for people with special needs will start today at 18:00 (local time) in Jerusalem...
I will be there (as the ball)...
For the last 4 years I'm working with some of these and for the last half I'm actually living among them...I'm fascinating to see how it will develop...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
