No trite or hollow tributes. Just thanks for the rich legacy he left behind.

    That reminds me of the tributes people lay to their gods in Indonesia… the arrangement of worldly things. Of course, it’s rice and crackers, not liquor and guns. But it depends what the gods like…

    Interesting thought DS. Rice and crackers may have been better for him.

    Nicely done Marty – it would be nice to be able to mark it with a bang and lots of noise but being in the Limerick area it would probably result in the Emergency Response Unit kicking down my front door.

    Cheers Rory. I fear the rapid response crew is watching you anyway for one reason or another. No sudden movements would be best.

    Wonderful, understated tribute to Dr. Thompson. He is sorely missed.

    Thanks Doug. Missed he is. To quote the man himself he was “One of God’s own prototypes”
