I'm sorry - lost my cat 6 months ago and still miss him. Someone suggested i made a little shrine with photos and candles, and it really did help while I was coming to terms with it. Had it on one of his favourite spots at the top of the stairs. Kept it till it felt right to take down.

If you like Blackstar I'd recommend The Weather Station album "Ignorance"... Has a similar feel to it.

Seven constituencies - religion for most. Not sure about Clapham and Brixton Hill - high octane Guardian readers probably.

Nick Cave
Follakzoid
Soft Cell
Julian Cope
Neil Young
Status Quo (Glastonbury 2009 legends)
McCartney
PJ Harvey
Hawkwind
Echo & The Bunnymen
Pet Shop Boys
Blur
The Smile

We just had a spate of genuine world class athletes in the 80s.. less so since then.

I think there isn’t a single adult in the UK that hasn’t witnessed the slow, painful death of a loved one. These stats reflect most people’s experience, let’s hope our MPs listen.

Like 1700+ traffic deaths a year?

Certainly that's the most likely way you'll get breakfast! I was recently travelling from Penzance to London and it was 3 hours before any sign of catering appeared.

First Great Western is awful.. Half the time the trolley car never appears or they've "no hot water", then other times you have to wait hours for it to appear. I frequently travel to the south west and have basically given up on it.

I do remember her being okay on 'The Late Review' several decades ago before she realised the money was in being a full-time grifter.
