[kj] Raven's Funeral

[fatpotanga]

Glad it was a celebration - although I would have doubted it be  
anything else.

That's good to hear about BPF & J&G - probably ideal circumstances to  
make that first step towards some kind of communication.
Still, events like this tend to reinforce the fact that 'life's too  
short'
BPF - what a nice bloke. Probably one of the nicest people I have  
ever met - & I've met Rod Hull*.
