Sad news about Robin Williams indeed. He never was one of my personal favorites, but his comic genius could not be disputed. What a loss.


Strange that someone who brought so much laughter and joy to so many was so unhappy.
What was the line about "living lives of quiet desperation"?

I hope that he finds the peace that he apparently didn't find in life".

Depression is a disease and if you have any thoughts like that, seek treatment! There is no shame in it. Just like cancer or a broken bone. Something isn't working right, get it fixed!



Sadly people don't. Because what is wrong is 'inside' and can't be seen by others they don't feel like they can seek help. Maybe they're too afraid of being branded weak or they're afraid of letting people down. I've known two people with depression, one was a friend from work who only really went for help when he realised (or was told) that he wasn't safe to be working around aeroplanes in his condition.

The other was my younger brother. He got as far as writing THAT note but I came home early and found it before he did anything. That has been the single scariest moment in my life. Whether he would have done something or if it was a cry for help I don't know. I don't want to either. No one should feel like it's the only way out, it isn't.

Great stuff, Martin!

Until the last of them have left us, I believe giving the WW!! vets a chance to reminisce is more important than preserving the history for younger folks.

BTW, you look very much like my younger brother in this picture! He and I look nothing alike.


The young need to know what has happened in order to make sure we don't relive it. All RAF aircrew volunteered, iirc it was the same for USAAF, knowing it was a dangerous task. The fact that they chose to do so means we can choose not to. As far as I'm concerned, if just one veteran takes something positive from the stuff we do then it's all worthwhile.

So many of them seemed to stand a little taller on Friday when they were able to show their family where they had sat during the war. Bomber Command have often got the s***** end of the stick post war. So seeing them (rightfully imo) proud of their part was wonderful.

My favorite birthday song of all time by the Canadian folk humor group "The Arrogant Worms":



Once a year we celebrate
With stupid hats and plastic plates
The fact that you were able to make
Another trip around the sun

And the whole clan gathers round
And gifts and laughter do abound
And we let out a joyful sound
And sing that stupid song

Happy birthday!
Now you're one year older
Happy birthday!
Your life still isn't over
Happy birthday!
You did not accomplish much
But you didn't die this year
I guess that's good enough

So let's drink to your fading health
And hope you don't remind yourself
your chance of finding fame and wealth
Decrease with every year

Does it feel like you're doing laps
And eating food and taking naps
And hoping that someday perhaps
Your life will hold some cheer

Happy birthday!
What have you done that matters?
Happy birthday!
You're starting to get fatter
Happy birthday!
It's downhill from now on
Try not to remind yourself
Your best years are all gone

If cryogenics were all free
Then you could live like Walt Disney
And live for all eternity
Inside a block of ice

But instead your time is set
This is the only life you get
And though it hasn't ended yet
Sometimes you wish it might

Happy birthday!
You wish you had more money
Happy birthday!
Your life's so sad it's funny
Happy birthday!
How much more can you take?
But your friends are hungry
So just cut the stupid cake

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, dear...

Skippy, the bush kangaroo, Stanly, starts with a 'J', and the b-b-b-b-b-bu-bu-bu- that leads into
"Dangerous")

Nope. According to my perpetual calendar August 13 , 1957 was a Tuesday.
