is such an ugly emotion.

David Taylor MP died today.

He was chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Smoking and Health.

During the 1980s Mr Taylor was a keen long distance runner, competing in several half marathons and full marathons including the 1989 London Marathon in which he finished in just over three hours.

In the 1990s he cycled routes including the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast.


Heart attack at 63. :-)

if he was not a smoker I fail to see the irony of your implied initial post ?

The moral of the story is that marathons are more risky to health than cigarettes

Sib, unfortunately genetics is one of the biggest factors in life expectancy. Perhaps he lived longer than his ancestors because of the life he lead. If he'd smoked, not exercised etc., he might have died years ago.

Schadenfreude - the pleasure at the misfortune of others, i.e. look at this knut who can't spell Schadenfreude properly.

I have taken that on the chin already. I think that particularly avenue of humour is better described as lampooning. And is fair enough.
