I've justt heard that an old friend of mine has passed away. Died, as it were.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

He was only 51. Palace fan. Very sweary fellow.

Makes you think.

[Berni]

I was just about to post about lesbians, but it wouldn't seem appropriate now.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

He used to be an aircraft despatcher and recently became an inspector for HMRC. That's odd, so late in life, isn't it?

[Berni]

Still, I wonder if at some point one starts chalking off one's dead contemporaries and taking consolation in having outlived them?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I suppose my circumstances were a little particular though.

[Snin]

being an aircraft dispatcher I'd say.. he was like an HMRC Le Carre figure... RIP etc.. just shows its best to keep on crackiing on imo.. I doubt he said he wish he'd had more mineral waters and nights in

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

He has no love for the elderly.

A false claim I should say.
