hi pdante'
Oh, I know. I was so shocked and upset. Teuchter started a thread about this.

Noggin and I listened to the News Quiz tribute programme the other day. It was so hard to know whether to laugh or cry. So we did both. Goddam! Yes, I also feel quite bereaved . . . she somehow seemed like someone I would have adored knowing. I respected and admired her so much!
Yes, very *very* sadly missed . . .

There was another tribute on Radio 4 last night. A bit more in-depth than the News Quiz one. It told us a bit about her life that I hadn't previously known. She was the president of the British Humanist Association, by invitation. They wrote to her, Would you like to become our president? She hadn't even been a member.
She was a truly wonderful person.
