A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.
Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.
"No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin. " Anuerin Bevan:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_19170.jpg |

We didn't always agree on the politics but I respected his thoughtful and sincere comments. R.I.P. El Barbudo.

The older I get, the better I was
Advice is what we seek when we already know the answer - but wish we didn't

There are few people in life who, when the slip off this mortal coil, I can look back and say "I'm bloody glad I met him/her". It was only a couple of times but I am bloody glad I met Geoff, it helped put a face to the posts I enjoyed so much.
Rest easy mate

| A Gentleman and a Scholar, my abiding memory of him is of sitting in the sun outside a bar in Perpignan for the exhibition game against London in 2005, we spent all afternoon there chatting and laughing and when the bill came for the beers it was in excess of 200 euros THEN we went for food 
The best compliment I can ever pay anyone is when you spend your first five minutes with them and you think you've known them all your life - that was Geoff, his online persona wasn't an online persona, it was him, open, honest and full of humour, a nice bloke, my sincere condolences to Gill. |

Likewise, I had no idea. Always found myself agreeing with him on here and always knew there'd be a good viewpoint when I read his posts.
Condolences to friends and family. RIP |

Never met him, but one of the best and most sensible chaps on these boards. If a copy of this thread is to find its way to his family, my sincere condolences and RIP El Barbudo. A proper gent.

very sad news, as the OP states "one of our own" whether you agreed with him or not. Sincere and deepest condolences to his family and friends, will raise a glass.
