No, I’ve not seen Shane for a good few years.

I’ll take your word on it though.

Say hi for me next time to bump into him.

Wheelchair bound mainly now.
He had a big do in Ireland the other week.

Fair play, he has hammered the gear and bevvie for years.

Yet Kirsty Mccoll got run over by a speedboat.
Just goes to show eh.

Exactly, live life to the max whilst you can.

Good luck to him and let’s hope he has a long and happy life.

His tumble to the ground was comical, to say the least.
Talk about simulation. He should have booked himself for that effort.

Hanna Hauxwell the Dales shepherdess.
Now there was an inspiring lady. Talk about earning a living under harsh conditions.
Toting bales of hay on her back through snow a couple of feet deep wrapped in an old army greatcoat tied around the waist with baling wire. Her cottage had no electricity with only cold running water.

Falling like ten pins.

I’m so glad I’m not a celeb... well outside of GOT anyway.

Dennis Edwards lead singer with Temptations.
Another of the groups at the top of their game during my teens.
I'm Losing You played on repeat on my record player after breaking up with my first true love. Such a powerful rendition.
Tears in my eyes fifty years on.
RIP.
