A colleage and a friend, whose family have asked for privacy including no release of details, so nothing more from me than that.

RIP.

Jacques Delors, beloved of The S*n newspaper, aged 98

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

Really sad news, a man who did so much to give a voice to oppressed people around the world.

Maybe one for the politics thread.  He certainly was in the early years, but the last 10-20 years, he supported a number of oppressive regimes.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

One of the people who helped me get back into the world of work after a period of unemployment used to work for her and said that, although Camila was cleared, the media mud stuck and it was a horribly toxic thing to have on your CV.
