Default It's Gwen's big day today

Can you all join me in wishing Gwen (Aphrodite) the very best of luck today. She's due to go in for her bypass in the next couple of hours. She's really upbeat - more ready than anyone I've every known so I'm sure she will do absolutely fine.

I've got a nice little space next to me on the losers bench for her - can we all shuffle over a little and welcome her in?
