Paul Hunter.

I was going to post something about Connotations or my cold or whatever when I read the news about Paul Hunter (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/6035879.stm). I sometimes think twice about picking and choosing people to eulogise in my journal, but... this is Paul. I saw him play live a couple of times. He was 27. He was incredibly beautiful and very sweet and a talented player and it's essentially totally rotten. Of course I knew he'd been terribly ill for some time, but it didn't really occur to me that he wasn't going to get better.
