So I'm currently raising a glass or two to his memory. Here's to Stewart. Cheers!

Sorry to hear it. I hope I'm not being to forward in saying it is a good way to go, doing something you love.

Sad news for sure.
Enjoy the thoughts of happier times as that's what's important.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, I've drunk a bit more than a couple of toasts, so I know I'll have a sore head tomorrow. But it's worth it. It's always good to remember someone with a hangover, and God knows I had a lot of them when I used to go out boozing with him back in the good old days in St Austell.
I was just reminiscing about those days, and I remembered that we used to call him "Shaky" because he looked a bit like Shaking Stevens. He hated that. And I remember the time when we were walking home from the pub, and he grabbed me and used me as a battering ram to force his way through a hedge that was blocking his path home. Bastard! And there was the time when he threw his telly out of the window into his front garden because he didn't like what was on. What a guy!
Life is much richer with people like him in it. He was only 48 when he died. When I think of all the scumbags that are around and who should be dead, it makes me realise how life is so unfair.
Sorry. I needed that.

Moose,
That's pretty tulip news.
Enjoy the toast to your friend and do a dive in his memory.
