'Caliburn'

[Former Labour leader]

Re: 'Caliburn'

Genuinely saddened to hear the news. I was only thinking about him the other day. A wonderful articulate poster who came over as a real caring gentle person. Would be good if some of his musings were reposted on here.

Re: 'Caliburn'

Sad news indeed
I enjoyed many discussions on here with Cal and in the real world with Clive. Very few were about football
A lovely man, he reminded me of my dad.
Hope Hartley his trusty butler is pouring him a large one.
Rest in peace x

Re: 'Caliburn'

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 in peace old friend, a genuinely funny and intelligent man who I enjoyed interacting with.

Remember Cal when i first started posting back in 2005, he had time for everyone and didn't get involved with the nastiness that sometimes went on. Came across as genuine and thoughtful.
