Sad, sad news - Vernon has gone to the great Pie shop in the sky!

I'm a bit nobbed off with myself. When the sad news about Vernon was broke,many on here changed their avatar to a pie theme. I searched for something original without success,then i've just realised the avatar i've had for a while has a pie theme.

R.I.P Vernon.

I think the teacher in him would like this one...

Very sad news.

Very sad indeed - so soon after retirement. I'm proud to say that I was there on his Ditching Beacon moment. And even prouder to say that he was a friend.

 

[Wobblers]

Oh no! He'll be missed, and by more people than he could ever have imagined.

I'll be having pie this weekend.

My commiserations go to his family, it must be an awful time for them.

Being vegetarian and the one who does most of the cooking, pies are generally limited to the cheese and potato or something like that. Some where in this thread someone linked to an Indian potato Pie. Apparently one on Vernon's favourites! Here's my attempt. Thanks for the pie!

That was the first time I met Vernon. I've been racking my brain trying to remember who took the photo of him cresting - or did I dream seeing it?

That would be down to his wife and family obviously, I should think none of them are the slightest bit interested in the contents of his shed at the moment. Whatever is decided in the end, I doubt we would get to know.

Given his predilection for blowing things up, I have a feeling the Ordnance chaps ought to be the ones to sort his shed .........

I went to the staff canteen today, not an unusual occurrence as it is a splendid place, having been enticed by the promise of "Pie Tuesday (A selection of pies)" as written large outside. On arrival I discovered that "Pie Tuesday" was last week and this week it was either "Gammon Tuesday" or "Quiche Tuesday" which I was informed was "like a pie". I tutted at the thought...

And then discovered they had run out of Quiche anyway, so they had removed the need for me to have a rant.

I had soup.
