My school riding pal has died.

[Globalti]

Please say a prayer or just spare a thought for Andy Arnold, my school pal from when we were both 14 and my cycling buddy during those early years of torn trousers, oily hands, Raleigh roadsters and rod brakes. Andy collapsed a week ago with a brain haemorrhage and they have just switched off the life support machine. One happy note is that some deserving folks will be getting his lungs, kidneys, heart and liver.

Andy was an all-round good bloke, hospital DJ and source of wacky jokes: his repertoire of funny noises and quips was so enormous that we called him Mr Fisher-Price. He leaves a wife and a daughter aged 28.
