wow spoke to the guy a few times at a couple of events. Was a really decent guy to have a chin wag with. Shocked to hear of this.

RIP mate. Thoughts go out to all the friends and families.

As everyone above me has stated that mental health issues are nothing to be taken lightly and if you do need someone to speak with most of the people that I know here are more than happy to help out. I am for one am here if needed, just for a friendly chat.

Lance (as Moodles2) was a helpful soul here on SAU many a time!

Prayers for his family and friends.

If the family is ok with us doing a procession/convoy with our GTRs, just wondering who would be interested in doing this? I should have the day off work so i'm more than happy to do this in memory Lance.

We're already in the process of arranging a GTR procession Tim, just waiting on the ok from the family. Will post details once we're organised. Funeral is Jan 10, 3pm at Prospect at this stage.

I wrote a book called, "Good Grief - Bad Time" '3 Ways of Coping With Loss'

It's distributed by a reg. charity these days, but I have a spare that I can send down today if you wish. You can present it to the family on behalf of you SAUers who are attending? Perhaps you can sign it? Gratis.

Let me know K?

[Tangles]

Yes I've got one, as you know Terry. It's a very good read....helpful

Hiya Brendan,

Many thanks for feedback.

So glad you're on the mend and...

1) finding purpose through the study/work you're putting in

2) are able to break through pain barriers that most of us would cringe at.

BTW, I came across a cerebral talk-back documentary on radio on the weekend.

It's about how the venom of the black mamba snake contains extremely powerful analgesics - researched atm at Edinburgh Uni I believe.

Unlike opiates that wear off, these 'mambagines' (named after the mamba) don't form "tolerance" in potency.

Several links can be googled; but here's one...

Apparently, totally different nerve channels are utilised from those of opiates.

Any updates for Thursday?

Checking in on behalf of SAU Vic, to offer our condolences for family and friends. I don't know Lance personally, but he was a regular contributor in the "Goods On Oils" thread (General Maintenance) and...any user of Sougi 6000 is/was a friend of mine

All the best.

Met Lance at a collingrove hill climb and helped him with a few things early on in his GTR ownership. Top guy and i am blown away by this as have run into him a couple of times since then. My condolences go out to the family and friends.

Sorry for the late reply i don't get on very often anymore.
