Description ...On seeing me shooting him

He shouted "Will. Top man. Doing it sitting down." I was having an espresso outside the Pasty Shop, when Bob came walking across the road.

Still think of him as John Hurt's character Professor Oxley from "Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Crystal Skull."

Yes, I read it, and it is so sad. Very unfortunate that sometimes some of the most amazing people get the worst of life. Yet I am even more sad for the people who knew him well - to see a person who was once lively and concious in an almost undead state must be excruciating. I am very sorry for you. It was great to see a capture that you managed to make of him before, he looks like he was quite a personality.

Sadly, I have no photos of Bob before the attack. I wish I had.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought this portrait was shot before the attack. It looks great nonetheless.Β

Thank you m'deer Sadly, there are those humans who forget what Homo sapiens is, especially the sapient part, which they are not. What we have these days, is a new human sub-species Homo sapiens fucitalusΒ A New Sub-Species

I couldn't agree more. Long have I seen a larger and larger number of our species diversifying into a sub-species and now you have named it. Bravo! Well named! I remember when studying D.H. Lawrence that he warned that humans were not indispensable, that Nature would be fine without them and that it would be a relief to have just a field of grass with hare sitting up (and I quote).

I agree that it is also the vast numbers. We are going to devour everything, kill one another and make the planet a wasteland (thinking of T.S. Eliot here too).

When I was a child I felt myself separating from a certain kind of human with whom I seemed to have nothing in common. I realise now that is must have been your sub-species, fucitalis.

Ever since I have been trying to avoid it wherever possible.

A sad story but I am very happy to know more about him. You take very good photos of him and he seems like a very good man.

Bob, in a strange way, is a muse to me now. Before he was attacked, we had some very fine rap sessions in his orchard, talking about the land, its environments and humans. Today, he doesn't remember a thing. Suffering severe brain damage has changed his character, and he can be a pain at times, but overall, he's a good guy.

Thanks for the favours, Squire

My heart goes out to Bob. What an unfortunate situation. Truly. However, it is good that you two can still be friends after the fact and atleast he knows you.

You're very welcome, weaver

Before the attack, we would sit & talk the night away, and greet the dawn chorus. He was the Founder of the environmental group, The Land Is Ours, back in the late '80s. He was also a Barrister. These days, I'm lucky if I get a coherent sentence out of him.How I miss my friend .
