I'm terribly sad to hear of Jimmy's untimely demise. Life is so unfair sometimes.
We communicated via PM and our last discussion was over W H Davies' "Leisure" (What is this life, if full of care . . .)
Jimmy's last message to me began: "LOL Jayne . . ." He made us all laugh and I'm chuffed that I was able to make him laugh on that occasion too.
Farewell, Bugsy. We'll miss you.
Jayne

I want to express my condolences as well, and I hope somebody here who is in contact with Bugsy's Nancy will convey this thread to her somehow. I too am so fortunate as to be married to a Nancy, and I would hope Bugsy's wife could know how much we esteemed him. I cannot claim the extra-spherean link with him that others can, but I so enjoyed interacting with him in threads and will miss his wry and humane outlook. How sad but lovely to read the poems included and linked to here!

Simon, I've sent Nancy Gribble a link to this thread so she can how fond of "Bugsy" we all were.

Another saddened member here. Every time I saw that "Lightning Bug" had posted, I knew I could look forward to reading something that'd make me smile. And his "Koi Mistress" is, for my money, a classic among parodies.
