Shit but life's a weird cow at times. I was just reading this thread when I looked at the Guardian today - Under an obit for Douglas Adams, the death notices read:

GLASGOW. Alex - Songwriter (formerly of Gateshead) in Australia after a long illness on 13th May 2001. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife, his family and Isabelle, Malcolm and Jake.

There are some things you just don't want to read.
