  It's none too sad, although it is something of a shame that he suffers as he does, this is a wonderful exhibition of selfless spirit from his children, as it was of their father all those years ago.
  Trust the tub-thumping self serving Torygraph to wring as much out of it as they could. Just to promote the insurance industry.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Yes Brian it is a shame.
  
  An interesting and fairly long article that is only in the paper according to Tom "Just to promote the insurance industry" all because of one simple sentence right at the very end, what an exaggeration.
