Re: Happy Birthday, Purple Hayes!
Hi all,
I registered a while back to keep tabs on my old man (Purple Hayes) as him logging in here made me know he was doing fine and I didn't have to call him every day (he hated being checked on or fussed over - which some of you may have known about if you'd ever met him - very much his own man!)
Just to keep the board updated, he's struggling but clinging on in a hospice where he's been for the last few months. He hasn't been able to talk recently but he did hear these messages and was grateful for them when I told him this thread existed a few weeks back.
Keep him in your thoughts!

Re: Happy Birthday, Purple Hayes!
Thanks for the update. I hadn't seen him on here and knew it wasn't likely going well. He is missed here.ClashBoardJunior wrote:Hi all,

Re: Happy Birthday, Purple Hayes!
Thanks very much for the update. Your old man is a solid dude. We're all the poorer for his absence.

Re: Happy Birthday, Purple Hayes!
I'll chime in and repeat what everyone else has said.
Rob's a top bloke and we all miss him, and we wish him the best.

Yep definitely repeat what others have said here. Rob's a top geezer and one of the soundest I've ever met.

Re: Happy Birthday, Purple Hayes!
Hayes is one of the sharpest and most witty people on this board of generally sharp and witty people. We've missed him a lot. We wish him and the family all the best.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: Happy Birthday, Purple Hayes!
I can't add anything to what has already been said apart from my best wishes.

Re: Happy Birthday, Purple Hayes!
Best wishes to Rob. I've met him in real life and he's a top man. Hope everything is going as well as it can be for him. Thanks for the update.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
