    I got busy with a new contract around the time this thread started.. Now 7 months later I visit and read he is no more.
    Life is so fleeting and temporary. Hope he made the best of his last days. R.I.P.

    Mark at the Pearly Gates

    Mark Is met at the Pearly Gates by a brass band.
    Saint Peter runs over, shakes his hand and says “Congratulations!”
    “Congratulations for what?” asks Mark
    “Congratulations for what?” says Saint Peter. “We are celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old.”
    “But that’s not true,” says the consultant. “I only lived to be forty.”
    “That’s impossible,” says Saint Peter, “we added up your time sheets!”

    I assume Mark's family have also been given the link to the CUKBook JG page?

    Justgiving's fees are pretty fair

    WmsS. JustGiving aren't Goldman Sachs.

    If anything, it's better to give through them. doodab's father has chosen to use them, and you should respect his choice. It means that he can keep track of donations in one place at a time of his choosing, rather than endure a drip-drip-drip of individual responses, each well-meant, but each, on arriving individually, cutting like a knife as it reminds him of his family's loss.

    Good show CUKkers - we couldn't help doodab (not directly anyway, I like to think that CUK was in some way therapeutic ), but we can help the people who did help him. Hopefully it's nice for his family to know how well regarded he was too.

    The other is St Raphael’s Hospice in North Cheam, where Mark spent his last few days and was well looked after, as best he could be, by the caring and dedicated team.
