Glad it was a celebration - although I would have doubted it be anything else.

That's good to hear about BPF & J&G - probably ideal circumstances to make that first step towards some kind of communication.
Still, events like this tend to reinforce the fact that 'life's too short'
BPF - what a nice bloke. Probably one of the nicest people I have ever met - & I've met Rod Hull*.


3 and a half hours sleep and Mike Coles farting.


So that's the secret of your youthful appearance :)

Paul and I were talking before the funeral about it.
He was rather nervous, well maybe not nervous, but wondered what it would be like.
There has been little communication as you well know.

Anyway, there were hugs and kisses and LOTS of chat.
There was no bad feeling on show (but Headcount were on a retainer to be bodyguards to Paul!!)

All cordial and very nice, but don't expect a reunion OK?

And, no sign of Youth and quite a few others that I would have expected to be there. I guess for their own reasons so I do not wish to comment or judge.

Cheers for this, Rob -- much appreciated.

I have to ask -- and I know I speak for all, here -- did you see Big Paul talk with Geordie and/or Jaz at all? And did Youth show up?

Cheers,
Alex

Dear All

Just got back from the funeral.

I wanted to let you all know that it was a beautiful day in a delightful setting, so fitting.

The first person we saw at the airport was Big Paul.
We immediately accosted him, held him hostage and took him to Annecy where he was subjected to a day of Headcount/Mike Coles stupidity which he loved!

The funeral service included, at the request of Paul's Mum, a couple of prayers and a short sermon.
Jaz and Geordie were there and Jaz said a few words.

All of Raven's (known!!!) children were there. It was lovely to see his little boys again - they are lovely little fellas. And everyone was positive and shared fond memories. So many attractive women there - well done my son ! ;-)

In the evening we met at L'Usine in Geneva where Paul spent his last evening and we celebrated his life. So many glasses raised, so many great stories told and so many happy faces. The XXV Gathering DVD was played and we remembered the great man.

He had one hell of a send off Gatherers.

Just a shame the old buzzard wasn't there, he'd have loved it!
