Bill Taylor RIP

At 12:20 today my Uncle Bill died during a heart operation and the world is not quite as kind a place as it was before. An intelligent teacher, husband and father of two, he faced despair and worse but didn't let it ruin him completely and he remained to the end a beloved member of the family.

The world may not miss him, but we will.

Sorry to hear that, man. Hope things will be easier than they usually are after a passing.

Thanks man.

This totally came out of the blue.

A bit like Tony Abbot's sexy wink face to critically-ill octogenarian sex phone workers - and almost as disturbing.

And the revelation his daughter was awarded a scholarship for the exact amount of her degree from a university that, coincidentally, has a liberal donor as its chairman.

But, hey, there are too many Abbott scandals at any one time to possibly keep track of them...

I know. There's more B7 than I can safely review at the moment - from the slit-your-wrist depressing Liberator Chronicles (Rontane survives! Before Servalan kills him!) to the increasingly complicated and deliberately-unsatisfying Fractures series to the the still-too-scared-to-start-reading-it sequel to Paul Darrow's Lucifer with even less B7 characters and 200% more "Evil OrientalsTM"...
