        A friend of ours remarked on the tragic early death of Dermot Morgan, that he was the same age as himself, and within a few months was dead himself, we actually passed the ambulance he was in when as it pulled into a layby and failed to resuscitate him.

        That was my inspiration for early retirement, homebrewing and making the most of things whilst I could.

            Oh no, that's very saddening! I always enjoyed the Father Ted series. :frown: And very strange that he passes on the anniversary of Dermot Morgan's death, the world works in mysterious and sad ways.

                    But surely this would be an 'ecumenical matter?'
