Very sad to hear of the death of Charles Kennedy. A brave and very human man whose humanity both made him the a very able politician, in touch with people, and caused his demons. Originally a member of the SDP, his bravery during the Iraq crisis lead to him leading the Lib Dems to their greatest number of MPs since the 1920s.

Strangely Jen I have always referred to myself as a weeble when life gets difficult as in "weebles wobble but they don't fall down". It has kept me going through some "interesting" times smile
