Congratulations ! , However I heard he has already signed for Cas.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8172967.stm I'm not normally one for posting off topic threads and I am mindful of the AUP even as I type, however. . . This story has really touched a nerve with me, is it just me. . . . ? Having seen the interview with this young girl's mum and being the father of four young girls myself I was actually moved to tears whilst watching her recount the events that led to her daughter's death. I don't really know why I'm posting this on here maybe I'm struggling to make sense of it through some kind of discussion. . . whatever it is I have to wonder what the hell is going on!

Yeah heard the interview with the mum on the radio on the way home, really hit me even though it was on the radio. Suppose things like this do catch your attention more when you have girls yourself like you and like I.

It's the same as when you lose someone close to say cancer. I had an idea how bad it was, but it only really hit home hard how bad it realy was when I lost my mum to it.

Sad story..

Think I must be goin soppy in me old age, but just watched what I thought was a great programme and story on BBC Three about a young lad from Leeds.

What a heartwarming story, nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Also a great example at how much reward just a little amount of effort can bring..
