Happy Birthday Banger! And for when he's had his eye operation, something for him to see - here's his old avatar from the Forum which lacked teeth but not gums:

Sorry Kimmy, only just caught up with this - far too busy. Is there any further news , as I guess these things take time to settle down?
Don't know if I'll be on later, but have order the cable company for Sunday, so fingers crossed I may make a reappearance then!

Thanks for the news Kimmy, plus the photo. Not unexpected I suppose and he did have a good innings, but nevertheless a sad loss both to his immediate family and his larger family on here. Gone, but definitely not forgotten.

I last saw Banger a few days before Christmas when I visited him at home. Every time I saw him or spoke to him on the telephone he asked about the forum and its members. He was always interested who was leading the tipping competition. I think over the years the forum gave him a lot of pleasure and he still holds the TOTY highest score. BANGER JUNE 2013. 110.75 POINTS.

Spoke to Bangers daughter Mary (above) today. She is fine but obviously missing her dad. She is in a care home with her own room bathroom etc. She has a brother who live about 80 miles away who visits here about every fortnight but of course at this time of the yaer the weather is a factor when travelling.

Rather sad about Banger's daughter Kimmy and a nice gesture to give her a call just to let her know she's not entirely forgotten. Overcoming the loss of a loved one can be a great hardship, especially at holiday times when the mind can't help but hark back to happier occasions in years gone by. At least she is in a care home so there will be other people around for company I guess. However, loneliness is a hard thing to learn to live with.
