Re: Purple Hayes Day
Think of him quite regularly. Gone way too soon. A genuine top geezer. Here's to you mate.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

Re: Purple Hayes Day
PH would have been 62 according to the birthday thingy at the bottom of the page. Gone but never forgotten. It'll be ten years this year, I believe.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

That just doesn't seem possible. He was such a wonderful, kind man.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Top geezer.
And the thread was started by Wally, too.

I will forever know rugby fans as "the egg-chasing rugger types" thanks to Hayes. Miss that guy a lot.
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.

Such a lovely, modest, no-bullshit dude. Too short a life for that fine a spirit.

Both Rob and Barny are sorely missed. Love those guys.

Also makes me remember the first notable board member who left too soon, Nikola "Hellboy" Acin.

Re: Purple Hayes Day
When I met him in 2010 (I think) at one point he produced some anti-Thatcher stickers he'd printed out for the occasion (which was a BAD reunion gig).

Re: Purple Hayes Day
I can't believe it's ten years either. Time is accelerating.
RIP Rob, Barny and Nikola, all active posters here and missed enormously.

I think he passed pre-board crash. So I only overlapped a year or two with him but he did make a strong, positive impression with me.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jan 2024, 7:03pmAlso makes me remember the first notable board member who left too soon, Nikola "Hellboy" Acin.
