:23:53. > :23:58.completely Cam. I started thinking, I feel great. The past, present and

:24:03. > :24:09.I MN. It makes you feel alive, just walking down the street, you feel
:24:09. > :24:14.alive. With chemotherapy they could extend my life to a year, three

:24:24. > :24:26.
:24:26. > :24:34.that. I wanted things to take its natural cause.
:24:34. > :24:39.In the 1970s, Dr Feelgood had international fame. I have had an

:27:05. > :27:12.in the afternoon we could see some a shower activity, but it could die
:27:12. > :27:18.way into the evening. We have any area of low pressure moving up from
:27:18. > :27:26.the south, that will bring us a longer spell of rain, but some
