@Nairn; I think Mr Dobolina was kicked off QBN by JazX during the Llyod years or shortly after.

Either way, we're now at the age where the deaths of peers seeming shocking and unexpected, becomes, over time, a steadily increasing trickle that feels inevitable.
The 5th decade is known as sniper's alley by some. The idea being if you get through your 5th decade intact you're not suffering from anything pressing and could expect another 20 years or so.
I'm 55.
I either have 5 years or up to 25 years. Neither sounds great to me, but I'm still riding BMX and wondering what I'm going to do with my life.
Unless I am struck by a radical epiphany before death comes, I cannot think of a strong reason why I would try to resist its invitation. Life is good but we go when we go and there's no negotiation to be had.
I'm okay with the knowledge of my inevitable demise. It doesn't trouble me. It never has.
