You can never have *too* many Big Star jokes, is what I sez.

Because, quite frankly, I've never heard a single one in me life, let alone two, so I am very much looking forward to reading em...

And yes, you bloody well shall be at the launch my friend, because if you aren't, I'll bloody well kill you! *Vigorously shakes fist in the general direction of Presteigne*

I love you, Ian, and I love how your goalposts for that final gig keep moving. I hope your palliative care nurse is right and that we’ll get to hear you speaking about The Breaking Wave at the launch.

We'll all be at the launch and we'll all want signed copies. As you know, 'It's not the strength of the body, it's the strength of the spirit' that matters. Thus spake Tolkien.

You are an amazing man my friend- and your courage, resilience and faith should inspire us all. You will be at that launch and so shall I.

It’s so you and the nurse can get to know one another for when you do start the final approach you will need someone you can trust outside the fam to talk you down to a peaceful landing, chap.
