Yeah, last time I saw him was when he visited me in Holland about 10 yr ago... ive been out of England (and Holland) a while now though, and lost touch..
Bless his heart...that last pic looks like he lost quite a bit of weight or is it just the picture? On night shifts, in the comms center, myself and the supervisor, Bob Summerfield would lock chairs and chase him round the office pretending to be eskimo whale fisherman....
He was on a sponsored...
Love this thread.
Every time I see it, I see Martyn's laughing mush, followed by remembering his face change colour when I got him massively stoned on a night shift at Amex.
I dont know if the telecoms people are still there on the 5th floor of Amex, but I think somebody who works at Amex currently should check. He was a very well thought of bloke among the telecom team, and im sure some of them, if...and I say if...some of those people are still there, would like...
I just remembered on a boring nightshift at Amex, i had some crap hash...and after a bit of a nightmare on the network. We smoked it. Like I said, it was crap hash.
A couple of weeks later, I didnt have crap hash, I had very strong, sticky black hash.
After another panic strewn couple of hours...
Im genuinly shocked by this news.
I worked with Martyn for many years on shift at Amex in the old Network operating center.
Top man with a love of Austin Healeys and a strange love of Darlington as I remember.
Im really shocked.
RIP and condolences to his wife and kids.
