We weren't best friends, but you forever changed the life of one of my best friends and I will forever love you for that. I'll never forget that I initially thought you were unsuitable for our Linzi but you proved me more wrong than I've ever been. You also proved my hate for Apple devices to be fickle and despite my initial resistance I'm sure know you were always pleasantly smug to see me own an iPhone, iPod Touch, MacBook Pro and and iPad Mini. You were right about many things (not sure about the Hammers though!), great for a laugh and (sometimes) comically strong minded which always made for great debates and banter. I'll miss you, mate. It was great to have known you.
