Just had some sad news...

When I was a teenager (Yes I was once!) I used to be friends with two
brother Les and John

Haven't seen them for years but we used to have  a good time togther I
mean even hearing thie names takes me back to the "White Hart" in
Romford (Yes I am an Essex girl..but one who moved to London as fast
as I could) and a lot of old friends I lost touch with to my regret

John was a complete p**s artist and it has to be said he did have  a
style. He was the one who got so memorably drunk he took his socks off
and tried to sell them in the middle of a pub-you thought he was
drunk? Someone did buy them

Later on John started to cope with his hangovers by trying to outrun
them- as a result he raised thousand for charities by doing the London
Marathon

Les...just sat in the corner and drank I guess

I heard today that Les died of liver failure (I am told his liver
exploded but I don't believe that) aged 51 only about 18 months older
than me

He used to be in a band and kept urging me to come and see tem..the
first time I had flu and didn't make it the second time I made it and
they cancelled because they had flu and the third time I made it only
to find the band had split up the same day

The band was called "Jinx"

I am sending purrs to John and Les
