Mikey (Rip) Have Lost Anyone Online Before This?

[Jahulaye]

Just a general thought.

I’ve lost quite a few other online friends so wondered had anyone else here lost others?

[Garaman]

...but we are allowed to answer by saying that we don't think now is the time for such a question aren't we?

[naomi24]

Me too.

[murraymints]

Ditto

[Jahulaye]

I’m sorry if I offended anyone as wasn’t my intention.

[Baldric]

Not offended, just not good timing.

[gness]

I thought this a fair enough question.......I didn't know him off AB but Mikey's death has shocked me as much as the deaths of the four abers I did know and has caused me to think about them, as well as Mikey, so much today...x

[anneasquith]

I fail to see any problem with the op .

[naomi24]

Jahulaye, I'm not offended. I just feel that today isn't about us - it's about Mikey. Like Baldric and Murraymints, I feel that your timing in posting this question is askew, that's all.

[jno]

Seems a fair question to me and I can't think of a better time to ask it, jahulaye. I don't imagine that mikey himself, a generous soul, would have been in the least upset by it, and neither am I.

(My actual answer is no.)

[ummmm]

Yes, whiffey, I used to speak to him loads. I was gutted when he died.

Mikey's death has upset me also.

[kvalidir]

Mikey's death has upset me more than I ever thought it would. My other real friend on here was FredPuli, who I miss a lot. Both warm, cultured intelligent souls that we're the worse off for losing.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah - kval
I thought about FredPuli
a criminal QC who would give good ju-ju on the law thread.

went yellow from ca bile ducts and never really knew how short his survival would be ( 12 wks)

owdhamer

you correct Jahu on a day of death, we recollect other departed frenz - noche de muertos have a complete frenzy

[Peter Pedant]

here is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,

ecclesiastes 3 .. 1- 8

[Baldric]

Thank you Peter, the Thread will obviously be that much richer for your presence. But I will not hold my breath.

[jno]

Yes, Fredpuli was a loss, very knowledgeable and helpful. I never had much to do with whiffey. But mostly we don't know if people have died or just found other things to do. If I fell under a bus tomorrow nobody would know where I'd gone.

[anneasquith]

Nor I jno.

[queenofmean]

I miss Nungate and Sib dearly. Two marvellous ladies.
