Bevs - you little Devil 
Respect please for the passing of Fatbrit.
Comments are because of the bloody jumping sheep - why it annoys I cannot tell you, but it does.
Way things have been the last 8 weeks - some of you may have been using the Noni Avatar.

I just wanted to add a closing comment to this thread.
We grieve each and every BE member who has died. Some were more prolific posters than others and spread themselves around all corners of the forum, whilst others tended to stay in their country sections. But every member is remembered, and we pay our respects to them the best way we can. Some families are sent flowers, or members rally around to help them in person. While in other cases we may get together as a group on BE and donate to their favourite charities. Or in the cases of two of our members who have died we have an annual tradition of naming two awards after them, such as the DollyLama and Terry Pardoe awards that are given at the end of the year.
The most important thing is that we also try and gauge how much the family member want us to do on BE, and as such we show our respects for the members who have passed in different ways depending on the families wishes.
The bottom line is every BE member who is no longer with us is a big loss for the BE community, and as such we miss each and everyone of them.
