Read a book on Neil Davis some years ago. Extraordinary life.
One crowded hour is the book and it was well worth reading

Mixed feelings on Aylett. Dragged the game kicking and screaming into the modern era but was it all good?
That’s an interesting one. Diabetic ketoacidosis. Seems he simply couldn’t deal with the fact he was diabetic and needed to inject insulin. He suffered the consequences.
How old was he?
Many adolescents find maintenance of an effective insulin regime quite difficult. The same can be said of some adults as well.
However, the advancement of insulin pumps is an incredible asset in diabetes self management.
But having said that, one must embrace the technology and continuously self monitor regardless.
It’s not a simple process of ‘I inject, so I must be fine’.
As TT said, he was 26 and had had T1D for 5 years. I was 23 when diagnosed, so a similar age. It’s led me down the complete opposite path - normal blood sugars and fitter/healthier than ever.
Having said that, it completely dominates my life, 24/7. It’s a *smile* of a thing to have but it’s all about your preparation if you’re going to cope with it.
Not a big fan of the social media trend of saying this deceased person would have turned X age on the date of birthday.
When you're dead you don't have any more birthdays.
When you're dead you don't have any more birthdays.
What's worse is when people post "happy birthday" to a dead person.
No. They're not happy. They're dead.
Highway to War by Christopher Koch is another great read about journos in the Vietnam War.
I would have agreed 12 months ago. But I have lost a sister and a great cricket mate in the last year. A post wishing them a heavenly birthday I think is a great tribute and a nice way to remember a loved one.
