Losing him at such a ridiculously young age (50) .

He was that young? Aw

I too am raising my glass in his memory.

(Vedett IPA beer in my case)

Early night, as I have a long journey for a days motor sport in Devon tomorrow. Having a large Captain Morgan Black Spiced, a recent ferry duty-free purchase.

Still thinking about Hattertim, 50 is no age is it?

Cicciobuki, I love Vedett! Difficult to get here in Warwickshire.

Yep. In 2017, 51 is not an age to pass away.

I downloaded a lot of his Debee Ashby's scans.

RIP Hattertim.

You don't have to apologise Bloke. If not for you we wouldn't have known.
The unfairness of life should bleeding apologise though

Popped down to my local off license to gather lagers for raising a glass or several to Tim. Again.
Because until today was still holding onto that sort of hope we sometimes hold onto. When we just don't want to believe the truth if at all possible.

Anyway.

You`d all like Eddie the Sri Lanka born Sikh who owns the off license and speaks English so badly you have to read his lips at the same time to work out what in the hell he`s saying

The bugger is even more sarcastic than me and greedier too

On the counter he has one of those pastry warmer (

) things with sausage rolls for sale. In all the many times I've been in the place have I ever seen anybody buying one. Nope. Although has Eddie failed to usually be eating one.
What do you think

Was supposed to be working tomorrow but got a phone call this afternoon saying the problem was fixed so not to bother coming in. I thought great a few drinks tonight and a long lie in tomorrow. Told mrstamsmith. Big mistake.

Now she has decided she does not need to stay in for the gas man boiler check so she is off to meet a friend for shopping and lunch. Fun day for me tomorrow.

Where is that other bottle of Soave??
