Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Brett Angell Delight]

Morning all, today marks the fourth anniversary of our friend Karl’s ( Messymascot) passing. I’m not that great with words and I’ve said this before so forgive me repeating myself. He would be so proud of this thread which is a fitting tribute to him and ensures his memory lives on. Sleep well, Karl.

Oh wow. It’s got that funny quality that all events seem to have as you get older, in simultaneously feeling like 5 mins and a lifetime ago.

Never interacted with the dude much directly, but was always blown away by his bravery and positive outlook. A better man than me, that’s for sure.

Hope you’re resting easy up there, brother.

Freezing cold wind this morning but at least it’s dry so far. Only people going to work and lunatics walking like me out in the dark

I can already taste my pot of tea.

Oh I am not bound by such social niceties blue and will as standard lift out the teabag with my finger tips rather than dirty a spoon.

Hello all. I saw the posts yesterday about Karl and thought a lot about his quiet dignity and sense of humour. He is missed.
We've had a fun day today - we had Frankie for a sleepover- his Mum picked up a shift as the night porter - which was the original job she had at the hotel. She picked him up once she got up in the afternoon. As we haven't done any shopping- waiting to do the BIG shop on Friday and supplies are running down- Mr F and I went out for tea. We're following that up with the monthly quiz at the club. I'm wearing my Christmas jumper which has some lovely reindeer pulling a sled and the message 'Sleigh The Patriarchy' It makes me laugh anyway!
Have a good night folks x

That description of Karl has struck a real chord with me. Perfect way to describe the character we met in what was to become very difficult circumstances.

Enjoy your quiz, love the jumper, ever the Union Rep

Loving the Christmas jumper, in Solidarity Sister! Good luck with the quiz.

Sat in Stockholm airport after a weekend break, great visit and loads to see and do, v v expensive....
First place I've ever been to where I have not seen any currency whatsoever, not used by us, or anybody else. Shops advertised they don't accept cash. Remarkable.
As I'm sat here reflecting with a lager ( 13 euro ), a robot has come along and delivered food to the table next to us.
The world is moving at a pace !.

It was the same in Copenhagen- didn’t use anything but card and it made it very easy. Brilliant metro system also where you downloaded an app and “swiped “ on and off the train and it calculated your fare and took it out of your account. I imagine it would be a good place to live.

He sounded like a great guy, I’m sorry I never knew him. This thread is definitely a fitting tribute.
