    Daniel Greaves, 20, was in collision with a car on 3rd November.

    Taken to Norfolk & Norwich, transferred to Addenbrooke's.

    Life-support turned-off 15th November.

    He always carried a donor card.

    I knew Danny quite well and know the driver of the car.

    Story www.edp24.co.uk

    A website has been set up in Danny's memory and to raise money for
    Addenbrooke's - and there will be a tribute car and motorcycle rally to
    raise money for Addenbrooke's, on Saturday 29th November, 12 noon - 3pm
    - starting at Bunwell Village Hall (on the B1113) and ending in Kett's
    Park, Wymondham. Details

    Why? They do jpegs, tiffs, bitmaps, M$Wormfiles, whatever your pooter
    will cope with.

    There's a slight update on http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/danny/

    No, I can't read what's on the flyer - not even in me 'and. However, it
    will be repeated on his friend's wibble.

    My condolences.
    Couldn't find anything amongst the riveting news, including:
    - Brundall church extension plan
    - Roundabout work not affected by snow
    - Students get a taste of the bar
    - Hindringham school opens new room
    - Christmas shoppers seek bargains

    and my personal favourite:
    - A47 queues better than expected at Honingham

    Ooh, Brundall church... I used to live very close to that[1]. What they
    got planned then?

    [1] I spanked my ex-wife's Yamaha Passola into a bus right by the
    church in Brundall, dislocated my hip. Fucking bike was virtually
    undamaged.

    One for the Newsquiz...

    I'll try to see whether the story's still up on the wibble - if not I'll
    scan it and post it that way.

    ©? Wass that?

    Outside Childerditch Church in Essex I piled-up the Vin - borked my
    glasses, skid lid, femur into about 20 pieces and some bonemeal, several
    ribs, collarbone, shoulder blade, wrist, skull, collapsed a lung and had
    a fortnight's concussion.

    Otherwise I was OK, and only minor damage to Vin...

    Do I get some sort of medal?

    OETKB mayhap?

    It tickled me as I was trying to imagine (without reading the
    actual article) what would prompt such a headline. My mind
    went wandering along the lines of "obviously there were
    queues, but how could the queues be /better/ than expected?
    Shorter queues? Longer queues? Good scenery while in the
    queue? Free tea and coffee being served at specific intervals
    along the queue? Sudoku sheets being handed out at the start
    and marked at the end of the queue? ..."

    Having lived in North Walsham for some time, I do however
    understand that life really is dull enough to report on the
    queues of a local road.

    A can of WD40's about the maximum you'll get for that lot.
    Possibly.

    I broke 23 bones in one incident in 1981 that put me in a coma for 3
    weeks and hospital for 9 months

    I only lived because I was extremely fit at the time, probably why you
    pulled through yours too.

    Certainly why I survived - it wasn't expected, but then, I used to run a
    half-marathon before breakfast every morning.

    Put an end to that lark, thobut.
