I was going to
not post this, or post it somewhere private, but today, (this evening), as I came home from work and switched on the local TV news, I watched in disbelief that a friend and
gentleman was killed last night.
He was such a nice guy, so friendly and the all-too-rare quality of listening. In between random meetings, I always met him on St George's outings, a regular annual biker event in The Midlands which celebrated being British. It was an event where families would come out and wave us on and, so I always felt, dispelled any myth or notion that bikers are all bad or Hells Angels.
It's got me down, big time!
I hope they get the bastards who did this and send them down for a long,
long, time. I could say more, but it would be censored.
He would never have
just picked a fight; not on anyone!!! The worthless
scum who did this,
those pathetic cowards, who have also given everyone who loved and cared about Nigel a life sentence, have taken the life of a lovely man.
I will miss you Nigel and wish I'd got the moment to tell you how nice and friendly and helpful you were and how much I thought of you - but then I didn't know our society had become so sick. That could so easily have been me on that fateful night...
