If you don't know who Jeff was, you've missed out, sorry to say. And if you don't know the Vikings, are you in the right place? ;)

Lazlo posts on here occasionally and has helped me out greatly over the years with building my collection. Top bloke. David Smith and Oliver Cain ran 'Paradise'. I knew both, but only met Oliver a couple of times. Was friends with David for years. They lived in Macclesfield, which ties in nicely with this thread.

I remember him well from the old days of the forum and met him a couple of times at the October 2006 gigs. Wembley Arena and Wolverhampton as i recall and i think also at that Noolers 'Blue Saturday' in London around the time of those gigs. I'm sure i have some photos somewhere of him from those nights. He posted on here for the first time in years not so long back, maybe within the last year or two, could have been in the listening to thread i think. I recall many years ago he had a particular obsession with The Salmon Dance by Chemical Brothers.Sorry to hear of his passing. Edited by user 03 February 2023 15:24:37(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Don’t think I ever got to meet him in a person, but maybe I did. I just remember his witty insights into the endless banter that used to go on on this forum way back 20 or so years ago when I first stumbled into the party. God rest you Jeff! …….. and Collette too (Cheeky Monkey)…. another sadly gone too soon! I miss those days. I sometimes wonder where you all are now? Remember Huntsman?? Ringmaster general he was. Buster Klumpy?? Far too many to mention everyone, but you know who you are. I hope you’re all well!

Sounds like a good buch of people. I don't think I registered with the old forums and may have only ever lurked there. (During the 2000s, I was on a bit of a break from 'New Order-ing', having become quite jaded following the endless reissue and remixing of the 90s and the (IMO) lack-lustre LPs of the 00s).

There were indeed fine times to be had here back in the day. @Muffy I can confirm Huntsman is alive, well and still hopped up on Pringles. Takes a passing interest in the latest things "New Gordon". "Be A Tomato Not A Potato" didn't quite lure him out of his den.
