It is with much regret that I have to report the sad passing of our fellow
LUGGER Graham Battison (known as GeeBee to his friends) who passed away
earlier today. Cause of death was a heart attack, which close family say was
brought on after watching a TV commercial of a car. Lawyers have been
instructed to find the source of the commercial in order to bring a civil
action against the publishers...

:-)

(Sorry Graham - only kidding!)

Simon.
