TheBigO Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Just wanted to add our heartfelt sympathy to all of Pickles family and friends. Craig and Jenny let me know the sad news and was truly saddend to hear of the loss of one of the scenes characters, As has been said in the 80's Pickle, along with Rod, Mad Mick, Craig, Del, all the Letchworth Firm went eveywhere together. Morecombe, Leciester and just about anywhere you care to mention. I shall have fond happy memories of the Tazmanian Devil spinning wildly out of control and sending at least 4 of us flying on a regular basis. I'll be raising a glass to him later this evening.
Guest Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Nice one Craig Just got home from work (dj) and saw the photo of Pick and Panda So many fu**ing great memories I even played Curtis Mayfield (move on up) for him tonight, the danes had no idea what is was or why I did it but fu*k em, I knew and so did Bri ! I know I`ve not seen him for years but I will miss him. Know the feeling ? Trying to stay soulful. Mark
