///Mr Kennedy's 10-year old son Donald and his ex-wife Sarah were in Parliament on Wednesday to listen to 90 minutes of tributes, led by Prime Minister David Cameron, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg and Labour leader Harriet Harman.///
Beeb seriously discussing this morning whether or not an obituary should contain the bad bits. or not
they had got the bit you cant put in everything ( too long ) so you have to cut a bit - but which ? The obituary editor rather wrecked his Been Olympian detachment by saying you had to be balanced and fair .... somewhat subjective criteria
The examples the stringer had put in were Mandela Winehouse Biggs Thatcher - only one of whom like alcohol - and I dont recollect that dissident camps were a large part of Mandela's obituary not the activities ( hur hur hur ) of his wayward wife .....

I thought you were making a suggestion for distributing the ashes Ron.
Retro, maybe at some stage you told the spellchecker to learn a word you thought was spelt correctly but wasn't ? Just making a guess.
Yes poor ol' Charles. Another one gone before they needed to be. What I find rather off are the articles in the papers making out alcoholism, because it is a mental rather than physical issue, isn't a disease. We all are at risk of pontificating on subjects we don't know everything about, heck does anyone know everything about anything ? But it saddens me to see how folk without compulsions just look down on others and say it is their choice. No one chooses to have destructive drives digging at them 'all the time'. And as in this case they can have tragic consequences. Some journalists owe those affected an apology.
