Mum told me this morning, and I was like, "um...so?" WAIT for me to explain...okay, I got up this morning having a hypoglycaemic episode, as you do, and it was partly for that that I was feeling so odd - and also because in that state I thought "Lange...he was National, wasn't he?" But no, that was Bolger. SO, there I was, in my semi-nonsensical state, thinking, "and I'm supposed to be upset that some National twat is dead?"

So, yeah. It really is sad - but he was losing the battle for his health and life. He'll be remembered for many a year to come, me thinks.
