It's very poignant.

Taken from the 'Are You a Collector or a Listener' thread, it literally had me in tears in my office.

I am lucky, in that I work for myself - 12 hours a day, so I play music all day. I can't say that there is one CD I haven't listened to (but some of them only once, and never again.)

So far, I have 6000 CDs and 2000 books. They will all go to my daughter. If she doesn't like them, so what? At least she's been exposed to some culture (bearing in mind I'm unlikely to take her to the ballet or the opera before Ashburton Grove.)

And she can sell them and go travelling.


RIP

Even sadder when he probably never got to go to Ashburton Grove (Aresenal's new stadium) either. Sniff!

It's quite something isn't it?.....this response I mean. Traditionally, it's so difficult to express anything in these situations, particularly when the relationship isn't necessarily an -ordinarily- close one.....meaning the kind where you know each other well and you visit for BBQs and stuff. I would even suggest that sometimes, traditional familiarity puts us into a situation where a particular response is expected and not always necessarily natural and spontaneous.

I suspect that this thread evidences just exactly how much people really want to be warm and loving and caring and express their appreciation for those little but important moments that gently shape our lives.

The first thing I remembered, when I saw this, was the thread about losing his child and how he'd sought comfort here, presumably because he felt safe to do so. That's quite something too.

Every so often, there is a revolution on here and everyone gets pissy and I wonder if we really don't know what we get pissy for because really it's all quite something isn't it?

This thread is, in itself, quite the testament to the existence of someone and if I ever lost someone and found something like this, I think I might be quite overwhelmed. I think that everyone who has posted on here could take a moment to feel a twitch of self-esteem at their thought and consideration.

I'm with Diamondog regards the stuff about our inconsequential problems and whinging (I can't remember exactly what he said).

I hope that when I wake up tomorrow I'm slightly less selfishly able to rise from my bed and not spend quite so long sulking about my tokenistic troubles. I hope instead, that I just fucking get on with it for the time that I'm allowed to do so. Unfortunately, I suspect it won't last long.

Indeed. Even just the equivalent of buying one less cd this month.

This is so dreadful. My thoughts are with his family.

I've never met the good man, and have only exchanged a few PM's with him, and still it feels like I've lost someone close. So this really is a community. Including the saddest events.

I'll raise a glass to Stu at the London JU.

Terribly sad news. I met Stu the once last year and, as in PM's and on threads, he was a kind, decent man and great company, who'd stayed cheerful in the face of more than his fair share of the shit that life sometimes throws at us. RIP Stu and condolences to his family.

I've just got home and read this after working away earlier this week. It's so incedibly sad news.

Maybe we ought to start a fund with donations so we can send messages of condolences when we lose someone dear to us, or messages of congratulations at times when there is news to celebrate. BCB is our extended family.


RIP Stu.

I remember Stu even though we were rarely around at the same times. A tragic story and my thoughts are with his poor wife and his friends and family right now.

RIP Stu

That's a good idea, but I really don't know logistically what we can all do.


I think a minute's noise woud be appropriate.

Only just found out about this.

Nice guy, met a couple of times, but the thing is, he only lived around the corner from me. It was always in the back of my mind that maybe I should arrange a social meet sometime, and now I've missed it.

Sorry, Stu.

I've already posted elsewhere how dreadful this news is.

I only met Stu the once in Richmond. I wasn't able to hang around for long that evening and so it was the briefest of conversations with a mutual pledge that we'd have a proper chat the next time we were both at a Jolly-Up. I'm gutted that I never had that opportunity and now never will.

Even though our conversation was brief it was clear how friendly and likeable he was, and the few PMs we exchanged only confirmed this.

It puts so many things into perspective.

My thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved, and I'm more than happy to contribute to whatever we collectively put together in his memory.
He's a simpleton. 200 years ago they wouldn't have let him milk a cow.

Maybe we could collect together some of his posts.

It might be nice for his daughter to read when she's older.

What can I say, except that this has me sobbing?

RIP, Stu - considering the dozens of packages I've sent you (and you me), it's a pity we didn't talk more...
