I haven't received it this month for some reason. Could you email it to me? My address is on FB or I could pm you with it.

Erm...no it's not

You should be able to see it I've just viewed my profile as you can see it (didn't know you could do that until just now!) and I can see it

I just didn't wait long enough. But you are in my address book anyway so I have sent it.

Thank you!

Did Damian have abrother called Paul who was in my year...Class 84?

He did indeed, he went on to be in the original line up of a goth/rock band called Creaming Jesus who as you can imagine went down hugely well in middle England. Here's their cover of The Cure's A Forest which Paul played on before he left the band, don't know if that's him playing guitar in the video as the quality is so bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoHR7m2eiDU

Very sad about Damien, my strongest memory of him other than playing rugby was that he was so desperate to join the army the whole time. I know he did but heard he didn't stay long as it didn't work out.

Wow, I forgot all about that Creaming Jesus link - and I even saw a net reference to them about a month ago.....spooky

Very sad and shocked to hear this..Damian was my nursemaid and a close mate throughout school although i sadly lost touch once we'd left. In fact i only ever saw him once more, at a festival in London somewhere when he was just about to join the army. I have good memories of Damian though and am very sorry to hear he's gone so soon

Ok- I know this is outrageously late but I remember Damian well. He nicknamed me Lukie because of my 80s 'Lukemia' haircut and only once successfully managed to eat one of my cakes from home economics class ( after that, he ran a mile and I'm still crap at cooking!). He was always cheerfully bonkers and I thought he was fabulous. Him and Joe Nixon used to say I looked 'fruity' ( remember that one?!). I am genuinely gutted to hear this. Thoughts go to Selina and Mel and their mum. RIP, you nutter. Xx

There is no such time as 'late'......that you took time to remember a friend speaks volumes for him.........and you!!!
