So st at keeping in touch with people....

Just managed a chat session with someone I worked with on the WRC to try and blag a pass for Rally Ireland in Jan 2009.

I politely enquire about another fella that I worked with very closely, and hada lot of fun with only to discover he died from a brain tumour back in MAY.

How fvcking twisted and sick do I feel now.

I guess 'free' depends on what areas you want to get into, however right about now I'm just a bit distraught about the fact that one of the technicians that I've worked with for a few years isn't going to be there this year.

I'm feeling really st about the fact that one of those people you get to love but is a long way a way has disappeared and like when my mum passed on there is nothing that you can do about it.

Just... just just just.... I feel like st at the moment. On so many levels.

Sorry to hear that, whislt it's tragic, don't kick yourself about not being in touch. It's what blokes do. I have a few 'best friends', and I can go ages without being in touch and then just ring them randomly and we'll go out for a beer.

Yup... that was what I was trying to arrange... meeting up for a beer - though generally in the last few years that we've done this it's been a home brewed boiled in a Tangia cup of Yorkshire tea smile

You know, normally you get this type of information when there are a few people around you to share it with. I only got this a few minutes back via st fvcking crap MSN, I'm feeling a little lost and alone now and and and and and arse

I'd guess now would be the time for a stiff drink to get you to sleep, and you'll feel better in the morning.

Gutted for you mate. It's st to find out a mate has died, especially the way you did.

Try to think of the good times you had together.
Hope you feel better when it sinks in.

Nothing you could have done anyway.

Ex, it's a sad fact that sometimes **it happens when you're looking the other way, for whatever reason.

I suspect said chap would not want you to feel bad.

Thanks everyone. TBH I'm still really stunned by this and wishing I'd made a better effort to stay in touch.

I was really looking forward to meeting up with him in Feb and spending a few days going through all the stages with him helping to set up the kit and getting all the stories from the last 12 months.

He really was a superb chap, with a proper Yorkshire sense of humour (the kind that has got me into trouble so many times before wink ), you know, never afraid to call a shovel a spade no matter who you are talking to.

He's one of the few on the crew that I really really clicked with, we had a great time together.

Sure am gonna miss him this year, as has been said I'll try to remember the good times.

Just off to have another little cry again
