Pete Butler aged 96

Pete, a great all-round angler.   Known for many good roach from the London reservoirs, also many good bass, some fly-caught salmon, and not a few big mullet

He founded the London Specimen Hunters Club and seemed ro attract namesakes as his fishing mates - I remember one such gathering that included Pete himseld and Petes Grundel. Mead. Ellis and Hall.  Go fishing with that lot, hook a decent fish and shout "Pete, Net !" and you had five chances of assistance.

I presume hes no longer alive Dave? Just talking to my mrs this morning all the people we saw growing up are mostly dead now ,watch an old film few are alive today .

Lifes pointless just when you get to the end to reflect on it you have forgotten or your dead ,puts life into perspective ,it doesnt matter what you do you wont remember a second the instant your dead ?

I cant even visualise what my parents look like unless i look at a picture and being dead they dont reply to my calls or send cards ,whats the point of it?

My biggest advice is write on the back of photos who they are because few others will know ,i have a score of photos of what i presume are relatives but no clue to what they were named or did.Unfortunely in some future dustbin a faded one of me will be found ,just some long forgotten person lost in time.

Now anything else i can do to cheer you up?

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Might be worth PMing Elton or John and getting it moved and mine deleted at the same time
