Just found out that Iain Banks died yesterday. A sad day for the world of writing. I will miss his wit and imagination. Not much else to say really. If I liked whisky I would have dram in his memory.

Sorry for your loss; I know you were a big fan of his books. Here’s a blog post by Neil Gaiman: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2013/06/iain-banks-with-or-without-m.html Apparently Iain Banks went off whiskey after he wrote a whole book about it, so he wouldn’t mind the lack of a whiskey toast/tribute/whatever.
Thanks. As you know I am also a massive Neil Gaiman fan and so it was doubly touching to read what he had written about Iain Banks.
Sorry about this. Having found your site, I can’t stop myself – please understand that it’s dementia meeting OCD. Whisky is how scotch is described, whiskey is how Irish is described. I must get out more, I know.
No need to apologise. I knew it was 50/50 on the spelling as I was writing it. Thought I had got away with it! it was late and I was a little shell-shocked.
