    I'm 100% all up for eye-patched giraffes riding sharks with curved swords. Doesn't help, but definitely doesn't hurt.

    Gary, if you see this I would like you to know that you are such an amazing person. The energy and commitment you have put in to both M.E. and serving the people of the Channel Islands whilst also dealing with this terrible diagnosis is truly admirable. You are a brilliant writer and presenter who combines dogged determination with excellent people skills. Your news is so very sad and I hope you get to go on your cruise somehow. I am so very sorry and the world will be a lesser place without you. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. ❤️
