Can't post in the thread because my stoopid, paranoid firewall software here at the office is evidently seeing the word 'shit' in the subject and throwing a hissy fit
Friend of mine had a stroke recently - late 40s, came as a bit of shock. He's ok thankfully but then a few days later, another mate's father died so when these things hit you, they do tend to take you by surprise a little don't they. Best to all and look forward matey.
