9/11 I was in Greece. Walking back from the beach I wondered why there were so many people crowded around the tv in the tavernas but presumed it must be footbal or soemthing. Called home later on with flight details and got a shrot synopsis before my phonecard ran out. It was another couple of days before the English papers arrived and we got a full report.

Reading about the deaths of two people, a loving married couple, has upset me more than most famous people.

The composer and his wife taking the one way ticket to Dignitas has really done it for me.

Specially the day after all the news about the fact we'll have to pay insurance or sell our homes to pay for our care in old age.

I think I may do the equivalent of the Dignitas thing myself and maybe MrPR with me if he chooses.

But I would like to have the choice to do it in this country where my body could be then taken to London Anatomy Office where it could be freshly played with* by NHS Medical students.


That couple have really moved me with their bravery and dare I say it, common sense? That's how it came across to me.

I can't stop thinking of them actually. They had control while they could and did not wither badly in some underfunded hospital. I was at home and read about it on BBC news online.


*studied, of course!

    • But I think there are striking similarities between the way Lambeth has managed the Brockwell events and residents therein and the way Southwark has with Gala..... It's how it pastes when you take text from another website (BBC) and is a good way to show that these are someone else's words and not something written by the author! 
    • Do none of you people want anyone to experience joy anywhere near your houses? I've been a local resident for nearly 10 years, and I love that London feels vibrant and alive in the summer and there are festivals and young people enjoying themselves.    Think everyone here needs to take a chill pill 
    • Thread is on the Gala.  Some of you can't help but join in on everywhere else because it suits you.  Sad that some of you get such joy.  And one of you is using large font, it's akin to shouting.
