« Something tasty to chew on... | Main | One rule to bind them »

March 5, 2007

To: Chris Lightfoot

Damn it, Chris!

1. We were supposed to spend more facetime together.

2. I was supposed to pay you back for the many times you offered your help, support, advice and expertise.

3. You were supposed to be acknowledged as a legend in this field long before your untimely death. (For this alone, you deserve a bloody statue.)

I'm going to miss you, and I'm always going to be grateful for what you gave to me individually, and this country as a whole.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to indulge myself with a few tears before channelling this sense of loss into something positive.

Cheers mate.

Tim

I didn't know this guy but it's quite moving to read all the tributes to him and the work he did. And on that note, in today's Independent, here's somebody saying speed cameras are dangerous.
