      Can we have a Living Nobodies thread? Joseph Cardill, car mechanic and part time librarian. Damn, can't find a link.

        31. Very Young. Shame.

        Also means that chance of a £100 million reunion like Oasis is now out of the window.

          One of my friends taught him to drive. Said he was a nice guy.

          What a waste.

            On a more serious note, it appears he was the master of his own demise. Sad for anyone that age but for the rest of us life goes on.

                      I bumped into him once - literally
                      and I met him a few times as well.

                      I was just exiting a basement pub/bar in Birmingham in the early 80's and I found my way blocked by a fudging mountain... the mountain, after stopping me bouncing off him and bouncing back down the stairs, in a surprisingly gentle voice said "Sorry Mate I wasn't looking....".

                      I looked up into a large chest, and then looked up some more (he was 6'5" and standing on a stair above me), and there was this big grin shining through a thick beard - I recognised him from things like Superstars and the Olympics etc obs.

                      Many, many years later I met him at various Strongman competitions/events - as a Celeb Ribbon cutter, judge/umpire/host/raconteur
