Many of you who have been on this messageboard a while will have very fond memories of a former contributor who was pretty outstanding in his wit and dignity. Clive Menadue passed away last Friday. I could say 'unfortunately', but he wouldn't want that. He was well ready having suffered long and hard with worsening Parkinson's to the point he could barely stand on his own two feet and only had brief windows of comprehension. His equally ageing wife, Sylvia, was stoic and loving throughout, but for the last few months he simply had to be transferred to East Glam hospital where on a caring ward, after a three-day coma, he finally found rest. Or, rather, a celestial messageboard perchance wherein to build his castle with Bing Crosby crooning from the turrets and Cardiff City pennants blowing in the wind. Farewell, old friend.
By his own request he is bowing out quietly. Just Margam Crematorium next Friday at 11 a.m. He was 86.
Rest easy Bluebird.
Really enjoyed Caliburn’s contributions on this board. Condolences to friends and family.

Sad news but hopefully the description of Caliburn's idea of paradise is up there for him.
Caliburn was one of the reasons I used to frequent the board in its previous guises. Great knowledge and wit made great reading.
Genuinely sorry to hear this.
We exchanged some books over the years and he gifted me a copy of his own writings.
A fine gentleman. RIP.
