So Wham!'s catchy song has finally topped the year-end poll. It is of course a song about the break-up of a relationship and not anything more serious, though some have taken it as a portent. More serious is the diagnosis of a terminal medical condition - but this is as assessment, admittedly based on knowledge and years of experience, but still an assessment, not a death sentence. The human spirit can do surprising things and my Christmas wish to all those in the situation, particularly in my extended family, is to apply Winston Churchill's personal mantra: keep on buggering on.
