Recently oggbashan lost a much-loved brother and today he is not on the board, as he's going to his brother's funeral. Please feel free to post a rose in sympathy.
Here is one of Ogg's memories of his brother.
My brother decided that the best part of ending chemotherapy and being declared a 'terminal' cancer case was that he could throw away all his pills (he didn't - they were returned to the pharmacist) and ignore the 'no alcohol' advice.
He had a year to attempt to drink his wine cellar. Although he did his best, he has still left a substantial pile of well-matured bottles for his children.
He didn't have dementia. He experienced periods of 'short-term memory loss'.
That's what he called it. His wife considered it was not a symptom of increasing age but of his high alcohol content.
But he was a happy, if terminal, drunk.
We'll probably make some more inroads into his cellar after his funeral.
I always thought that one of his greatest decisions was to propose to the daughter of a wine importer. Apart from gaining an intelligent, competent and very strong partner, he acquired an almost unending supply of great wines.
