There are a lot of 'Freds', nice people who go out of their way to help people and who get no recognition.
Always sad when the good ones die, so I hope he didn't suffer.

Sadly, he did suffer. The hospital was treating him for gallstones, but he was really suffering from massive systems failure which led to a fatal heart attack.

Well in that case I hope it was very quick!

Thanks. It was quick. He went into hospital a fortnight ago, and died a week last Wednesday. I haven't talked about this because it has taken until today for me to really come to terms with his death.
This weekend, we shall hoist a tankard to Fred and solidify our plans - in his honour, for all that he gave to the world, we will be organising an annual Fred Kelf memorial dinner where we will invite those who knew him to celebrate his life. Fred touched our lives that much.

|
|
|
May he rest in peace. Amen

His death did not make the news, but for those of us who were privileged to know him he will be sorely missed. Let me tell you a little bit about Fred so that you too can know something about a truly special man.
Few good worlds from a good friend are more valuable than all of the media drivel which the celebrities get after they perish.
The narrow specialist in the broad sense of the word is a complete idiot in the narrow sense of the word.

Elaine - know this. You already have, you know you have our love.

My Grandfather was a Fred and the description would have fitted him as well. Maybe there's something in the name?

Pete, you can put all of the "SFW" tags you want on that, but I'm still not clicking a link with a name like that at work

Eh, this is old news - it's a completely safe, has come up at least twice before over the last several years.

And your network admins have nasty suspicious minds.

I was going to do that, glad I checked first.

Not sure I'd say it's SFW... I've seen posts about what some people do with those creatures.

I am reminded of the Royal Tit Watching Society of Great Britain, dedicated to observing and preserving tits, chickadees and other members of the Paridae[^] family of birds.

I am fond of watching a Tit I must admit. While the Blue is fine, I much prefer the Great, absolutely beautiful.

Might as well kiss the blarney stone too.

Have you ever been up there, struggle up through a ruined castle, queue for ages, then they want you to get down on your back, slide out over the sewer hole and smack your lips on a bit of stone that 1000s of others have. Talk about slops, yech.
The only amusing thing was when a girls shows up in a dress!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

(And the tit watching was pretty funny too.. Do they have a website as well?)

BTW: Just had a look at the older thread, and I'm sure that Daves post HERE[^] must be the funniest and most imaginative I've ever seen here at the CP...
