I can't actually get my head around the fact that she is no longer here to comment.

*nods*
I have been avoiding replying to the news for days and days, as if not commenting would somehow make it not true. She was such fun, and such a sweet kind person too, and part of the Read for so many years -- what is the point of a double entendre with no Sid to laugh at it and fling a better one back?
