Oh darling, be my Valentine,
Let's take on the world;
Let's lay waste to Palestine,
As nuclear bombs are hurled.
Be a Plymouth Brethren soldier,
Fighting the righteous fight,
And in my arms I'll hold ya,
As we set the world alight.

Yes, a great character. He was the only person on here who really wound me up a treat with his posts, to the point of apoplexy, and it was actually all just an excellent trolling. When we finally met he turned out to be a lovely guy with a very...

Funny that I got banned from Tiscaly too, the reason I got banned was for arguing with a guy who called himself Muhammad Kahn who said that justice was coming to infidels and I told him he and his kind was a threat to all mankind as martyrdom...

After he and I were banned from Tiscali, I suggested to him to join BC, the rest is history.
Another character leaves us.

I'm afraid it's the nature of forums like this. When you set up BC, you were the token youngster - the rest of us were already knocking on a bit. Now twenty years have passed, and we're mostly old fogeys. In another twenty years, if BC is still...

I attended Dordie's funeral yesterday. :( I will in due course put up some pictures of the short service booklet that was used. For now, as will all these things, it is very difficult and at the moment it feels as though death is swirling all...

My dad used to have the same attitude, but he got less frugal as he got older.

Ha ha, as tight as a ducks arse at 40 fathoms. Used to make me laugh you could see his mind working...how much is this going to cost me and am I paying more than my fair hare? My late wife and I used to give each other a nod and a wink at his...

Wonderful, say a quiet word of goodbye from his brother Roland please. He held you in high esteem and would be so pleased you took time out to see him off. It is impossible for me to be there as I have no driving license valid in the UK they are 18...

Awens to Hippo:
It is sort of Unfortunate that it took your spreading this News that I finally noticed You. I quickly worked it out that you suddenly coming on with the News First indicated that You were some sort of Relative. You were his...

FFS he was on 8 years younger than my dad, who died about 2 years ago. Very few of the old school old yins left now.

Maybe at some point we could find our favourite Dordie posts and quote them.

That's a lovely sentiment, Hippo. I will certainly raise a glass to Don and toast him!

There are no arrangements that I am aware of. I think to be honest he would appreciate it more if you had a drink of your choice and remembered him in your own way on the day. It's not possible for me to get back to the UK so that's what I will be...

Thanks for letting us know, Hippo - are there any arrangements for sending flowers (not sure that Don was a flowers sort of man, though!) or charity donations in his memory, or something like that?

As a fellow 'rightard' I miss all his straight talking, down to earth and no nonsense posts, along with all his rants against climate change policies, Tony Blair, the EU, etc.

He was a complex man, I would say. Behind the kind of (dare I say) "bar room bore" persona which he liked to project on-line, he was actually a very brainy guy, a Cambridge graduate, and he was au fait about current events. I remember when I tried...

Hippo, would you be good enough to let us know when the funeral will be? I am sure there a a few who might want to attend. Unless it becomes something private, obviously.

Dordie would be pleased that you remembered him fondly, (maybe some not so fondly LOL) BC was a big part of his life for a long time and kept his mind active....maybe too active at times :) he could be an arsehole at times but he was my arsehole...
