Jenny Diski @diski Mar 17 Cambridge, England @maartenthissen No nor enough painless implements that ease the bloody stranglehold of thinking might ease the festering fume. In reply to "Are you able to write?" It'll be like Tony Hart all over again, and he didn't have terminal cancer. If she's still around in six weeks, I'll be very surprised.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 28, 2016 I think that she is just trolling you guys. Jenny will see 2017. Hehe, that would be an interesting idea that I wouldn't completely rule out. Are her scribblings caused by that supposedly benign brain tumour she mentioned before? Wasn't it lung cancer that's supposed to kill her? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well this is the legible effort before the random key battering . Jenny Diski @diski Hi guys. Just to say my cancer is not caused by smoking. Nor is my fibrosis. It's just cancer. Best wishes, Jenny.

Handrejka 1,904 Posted March 29, 2016 No, my sig is a combination of some of the more memorable typos in DL chat from when we used to have regular Friday night sessions. Tdonkleys became a sort of meme for a while but I can't remember why now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
