His quality of life has been poor for the last 18 months,so I'm glad he's finally at peace. 94 is a fair total,considering he was still a remarkably active man at 90. More fortunate that a lot of folk.
Rest easy Johnny.

Re: A right now thread
Sat in another hotel bar ordering Deliveroo. I feel like a modern day Alan Partridge, been away 3 days a week for the last 4 weeks. Only going to get worse with the amount of projects we're juggling at work. My trip to set up the infrastructure in our Lviv, Ukraine office has been 'postponed' though...

Got a puncture and just discovered that, although I have a spacesaver wheel, the locking wheel nut key is missing 
Currently waiting 2 hours for the AA. So if anyway happens to be near the Kettering A14 services and has an Audi type F locking key then do pop by
