A few years ago I had a holiday in Cornwall. At the time my dog had injured a shoulder trying to clear a cattle grid. I'd forgotten to pack her medicine, and we'd realised too late on the journey down. The nearer we got the more anxious we became to find a vet, and just short of our journey's end we encontered an RSPCA van who directed us to a vet that provided our necessary medicine. We met that bloke two days later, by coincidence, in Logan's Rock (?) pub... which is yards away from Porthchapel. I have no idea if the RSPCA man involved was Mike Reid or not.
But whoever, RIP. To die rescuing gannets, to me, that's the highest award possible.

A man who made some errors but always was was a fan of the club he managed and oversaw some great times.

RIP Garty ... & shame on those who claimed he wasn't ill but just avoiding his responsibility.

I did, Monty. It's a book that, although I enjoyed it, I was always going to compare with TKaMB, and that was always going to be an unfair comparison.

His name means Rock Rock-Stone
Boutros comes from the same root as Peter, Petros the Rock. Ghali is Amharic for stone.

I don't know. I'm usually up for X rights, but I'm not really exercised by clay pigeon rights, or campaigns to protect tin cans.

When it comes to living things. Outside of war and armed police, I'm struggling.
