Belated Sayonara

A farewell mention for Kumicoco who had to leave for Japan a few weeks ago, more hastily than she originally planned due to a diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis. The Flea, the Daffodil, Bodger aka The Bagic were amongst the brave souls who went to share sayonara drinks with her (El Pepino made a brief appearance but had to leave for home early to feed his cat). Well, they weren't so brave actually as the doctor's diagnosis stated it was non-infectious TB.

However, that didn't stop a little internet research by certain members of the party to find out a little bit more about the risks of catching TB. The Flea, on the other hand, didn't share these concerns as he has a natural immunity to TB due to the illness being present in his family when he was younger (when he had the TB Heaf test at school, his grade 4 reaction meant they sent him for an x-ray and check-up thinking that he had the disease).

Whatever the concerns, it didn't stop a good showing for Kumicoco who did very well to meet anybody at all given her obviously ill state. Hopefully, she'll recover soon and maybe come back over to make a guest appearance with Quarterpounder as those boys would just love to boost their rock and roll credibility by having a consumptive chick on their list of collaborators.

At least you're having the right treatment and when you recover i'm sure Quarterpounder will welcome you, but only if they can use make-up so you still look like a consumptive rock chick!
