Good And Bad

So sad to hear that Sir Chris Hoy has terminal cancer.  Great sportsman.   Happy to hear that Sir Andy Murray has won his first golf championship.  Life after tennis.

RIP Kris Kristofferson, another country great gone.  Willie Nelson is the only Highwayman left.  Great song writer and musician who will be sorely missed.

Not sure where to put it - thought about jokes but for thousands it certainly isn't a joke.   Harold Shipman  -  I killed at least 215 pensioners Starmer  -  Hold my beer!
