Paddy Ashdown joins the Bladder Cancer Brigade

I mentioned in an earlier blog that there is a dearth of famous people with bladder cancer. Now Paddy Ashdown, the ex-leader of the Lib-Dems,  has joined the ranks of the BCB. I extend my sincere sympathies, for it is not an easy group to join, and he will have a rough path to follow. He used to have a nickname, "Paddy Pantsdown", for reasons that might be libelous to state. Now we can reprise the nickname: he will be Paddy Pantsdown anew, as I can state from experience!
