You sound like a very compassionate health worker :)

The guy I think you were referring to was Yul Brynner. He did those "Don't Smoke - Just Don't" Ads after his mate John Wayne died of lung cancer I think. Yul's costar in "The Magnificent Seven" Steve McQueen also died of smoking related cancer.

*Edit:- found it...

Melanoma (the most dangerous form of skin cancer) is making news.

Treatment:- Experimental drug by Merk labelled MK437 is causing advanced melanoma to shrink just about completely in approximately 50% of patients in a study. More of this drug is being requested to treat a larger sample of people whilst they don't have long to live as it is.

Preventative:- Still it's best to consider frequent application of the highest SP rated sunscreens, large brimmed hats, taking melatonin lozenges 5mg or higher each day, exposure to the sun to be minimised to morning and afternoons only for a maximum of an hour if you have fair skin or freckled skin.

Jai Taurima, Australia's silver medallist at the Sydney Olympic Games, had a daughter Indie Rose.

Jai and his partner Jen have just lost Indie Rose to acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

She has died just a couple of days before her third birthday 22nd May.

Further research on leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma (all related cancers) is ongoing.

At the SAU.NSW Tech Arvo at Syriops Engineers, about 30 Members present were generous enough to donate around $300 to Bowel Cancer Aust.

I don't know the exact amount because it's still stuck in a tin that'll be opened by NYTSKY (Dave and his partner Anneke) > Bowel Cancer Aust.

Congrats heaps to the Members who dug deep - really deep!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
