Last week I got a soaking and sat in the theatre in my damp clothes and contracted a cold.
I will not let it stop me!
But I will not let the audience of Disco-nnect get wet either.
Umbrellas and all that.

Charles Stewart Parnell: (this from Wikipedia)
On 27 September rather than disappoint his followers in the west he addressed a crowd in pouring rain at Creggs on the Galway–Roscommon border and contracted pneumonia.
He returned to Dublin, departing by mail boat on 30 September ("I shall be all right. I shall be back next Saturday week."). He died in his home in Brighton of a heart attack in his wife’s arms on 6 October. He was only 45 years of age.
