Starry could nip downstairs and ask him, and see if he's got any snacks worth nicking.
This is a bit stalkerish, isn't it?

what were the first two Piranhas? Beautiful Stories #1, I'm guessing, and... Epicurus or Gregory? the pinefox's cropping gives no clue.

I was going to mention that but wasnt sure if he wanted it here or not. But yes, best wishes Martin.

oh - very good luck with prognosis and further treatment, Martin (-in-absentia)

Look towards the positive as he suggests -- best wishes for him, for sure.

If you're friends with him on Facebook I strongly suggest reading his note he just posted.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 2 April 2011 20:29 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm not on FB, but he emailed me an hour ago as I emailed him the other day. I still haven't been able to work out what to say in a reply. All my best thoughts go out to you Martin if you're reading this.

Went on vacation and realized that two of the books I brought along to read had been recommended on this board by Martin. Well, him and Rock Hardy- take care of yourself, Rock Hardy! And warm thoughts for tomorrow from here to over there

Sorry, didn't read upthread. Now I feel foolish. I will raise my coffee cup tomorrow morning at 3pm UK time and think of Martin and comics and music, and maybe even cricket.

Sadly I wasn’t able to come because I couldn’t get off work. Thursday’s my busiest day of the week with multidisciplinary team meetings to arrange/coordinate and clinics to be run but I hope I’m doing my best, professionally, to make sure that our cancer patients receive proper treatment and care so I’ll call that my tribute to Martin. mc xx
