That requires a real suspension of belief. Hopefully, absorbing that doesn't shock you.

Of your Signature, @Balboos, here's a branch:
"If you are searching for failure in others, you won't be disappointed."

If your amused by musing, you can go to my Home Page. Quality varies greatly from top to bottom.
However - if you do decide to visit, I'd prefer you do a google search for 'balboos' and then, from the list, click on "BALBOOS' Contemplations & Such", which may not be on the front page. I want it to move to the front page and being selected from a search does that. With a rare-ish search such as this, the order can change rather easily.

Now it's the turn of Victoria Wood[^]. Like many of my generation, she brought immense pleasure to me with her unique brand of humour.

Oh sh*t! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) I shall miss her.

That is a shock (Bruce looks on his way out to). Yet Jim Davidson is still fit and healthy.

Brucie? He predates the dinosaurs! 
I'm fairly sure his passing is mentioned under "end of the world: signs of" in Mayan texts...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

To be fair, he wrote the Mayan texts.

Nah, Brucie will be with us for a good while yet. He's recovering nicely according to his doctors. He'll be wanting to outdo Nicholas Parsons, who looks like he'll be still working at 100, if nothing else!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Yeah, Doris Roberts[^] died recently too. Not sure if it was mentioned on CP.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

RIP Doris. Didn't see a mention but I don't spend as much time in the lounge as I used to.

I particularly liked her funny songs 
Not sure if you listen to BBC Radio4, however there was a good episode of More or less[^] recently where they went over the statistics of recent celebrity deaths.
The conclusion was that it did appear that there were more celebrity deaths reported so far this year than there have been in the past(for a similar period of time).
It's one of those radio shows that occasionally has a few gems in it and I wished I listened to it more regularly.

So sad, didn't even know she was ill. She was a talented straight actress as well as being a great comedienne.

Weird, I refreshed to make sure there was no mention and then posted. I thunk my interwebs are clogged.

Bloody shame - she was a very clever comedian and damn good actress.

Even if she's not buried in a flameproof nightie, that's how I'll think of it.

Lately in the world of Swift, I have been using several open source UI libraries to help me achieve nice effects like:
I feel however that I should be able to do this myself. I've only been messing with Swift for a few months, and I have the language and that basics of iOS development down, but I can't help like feeling a poor developer because of this. Should I stop using libraries like this and do it myself? What do y'all think.
