Sorry for the no booth.Some of my regular followers will know that my friend Dan died a couple of sundays ago.

The funeral was yesterday; They played the James Bond theme tune as we all entered. His uncle read a poem that his mum wrote three days after it happened. His stepdad told the story about how he was allowed permission to date his mum; “Can you fight crocodiles? Because if you can’t, you can’t date my mum.”

They played the godfather theme tune before tributes from his bestfriend and then they played Robbies Williams version of ‘Straighten up and fly right’. The Officers who found him came in full uniform just to pay their respects. Over two hundred people turned up; the crematorium was overflowing.

Dan was a unique individual. He was old before his years, and I am really really going to miss walking in to matalan to get a guided tour around the shop because he felt like it, or random staff discount and a refund when he wasn’t supposed to give one.

Steph: Dan, where are the hats?
Dan: Over here…
Steph: These are the candles…
Dan: I thought you might like a tour.

I realise this is a long post and that you probably won't read it all, whetever, but he was my friend, a friend of many and I really feel that he was one person who I’m never going to forget as long as I live; you missed out by not meeting him.
