    Fleeting visit .

    Dearest bugs, All that comes to mind is "go gently into that good night" .

    Mr Bugs sounds pain free and as if you are all ensuring he has peace.

    There are not the words that I can think of to offer consolation only my heartfelt concern for you and Mr Bugs and to tell you that you are in our thoughts.

    the Spirit family.

    Lots of love to you and Mr. Bugs, Bugslet. GDB said it perfectly, so WHS.

    Oh, thank goodness! I usually say the wrong thing / put my foot in it. Those monkeys, typing away at random in my head, must have got it right for once.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Collected works of Shakespeare to follow?
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Here's hoping! It would be more useful if they produce something new, but good.

    Sounds like the "First Drafts" cartoon in Private Eye - have you see any of those?

    That's all I would want when my time comes, to be comfortable and gently drift out of life, with a loved one by my side. You have done all that anybody could expect/hope from you. I feel so sorry for you having to stand by whilst this slowly takes its course, though. I wish I could give you a real hug, not just a virtual one.

    That's one of the loveliest posts I've ever seen on the NPT, so I will cheat and copy it.

    Thinking of you bugslet xx

    Hm... people are having a hard time at the moment. Hope things get better for everyone :)

    OK, I've now broken through the magic 75lb weight loss from my heaviest. Only another 25lb to go... at Christmas... when the mince pies are calling out "eat me, eat me..."

    Dammnit ;)

    You need to persuade yourself that you are hallucinating and that they are not really mince pies but brussels sprouts:eek:. Seriously well done on that weight loss though. Brilliant!
