[peel] Serious message

[cannon alan]

Yesterday i was thinking i was so glad i didnt live in
London any more with the Olympics coming. I spent 27
years living in London, a few years in a street behind
Tavistock Square. I've had some close calls. So far as
i know so far none of mine have caught any but i cant
help but remember the shock, when i heard six months
after the event, that Ivan, even though i didn't know
him that well, had died in the King's Cross tube fire.
He was involved in the Mutoid Waste Company. He was
with friends and they were getting off at Russell
Square. Ivan got off at King's Cross to get some chips
and walk the rest of the way and was engulfed by the
fire.
  This morning when it was happening i was sat in the
doctors reading the paper thinking i was glad i didn't
share a birthday with George Bush. I managed to have a
pleasant day and didn't hear the news until 6pm. This
is one birthday i wont forget in a while.

Thanks Neil and Garry. Glad all is OK with you. I
spent all my life in 
London up to 18 months ago and weirdly feel that I
should be living there 
again at the moment - strange eh?

Best wishes to all on this board that live in London
and hope you are 
keeping well.

Colin.
