Thanks mate. Could you add that link to the Cardiff photos for those who never knew Drew? I meant to add this yesterday, but got sidetracked by something else. For those that haven't seen it before there is a bit about the 2003 FACup Final in Cardiff (Those were the days!) and on the main page there is a photo by Spot from his vantage point in the Millennium Stadium. If you click on the picture it gives you a gallery of photos from the day, including several of Drew. [a href="http://www. .org/retrospectives/cup03/cupfinal2003.html"]Click here for the IBO 2003 Cup Final page [/a] [/quote] Great to put faces to the names we have read so much about. It's amazing how times flies, 2003 seems like yesterday to me. Drew must have been around the same age then as I am now. (and spot51 looks so fresh faced after his ascent of the MS!)

Great looking at those pics. Aside from the result a fabulous weekend. We managed to get hotel rooms in the Town Centre. The Gunners fans staying there were decent as well.

Spot - hope all is well as it can be.
Thanks for the Cardiff photos that put a face to all the medications and breakfast choices.
Rock on.

So so sad, no doubt you fulfilled your promise all those years ago. But your words on here are clear it was done out of love rather than duty. Losing a brother leaves a big hole in your life. Drew passed on peacefully in his sleep which is a blessing after years of ill health. Gods will, he will rest in peace.

spot51 . "Brothers in arms" Wonderful words. Thank you for sharing them. The Minister* liked the idea. We shall play it as the Service ends and the people begin to leave. *He loves the opening guitar bit.

We shall play it as the Service ends and the people begin to leave. *He loves the opening guitar bit. spot51 delighted ! I have a will that states A CD of my Top 20 tunes given to anyone that shows up -5 played at the service followed by a rocket taking off holding my ashes from a cliff top in Port Isaac Cornwall, with Non c'est rien playing in the background. That will be followed by a wake in The Golden Lion. Hopefully we can meet up following your suggestion. Suppose we'll see how the land lies.
