I only know Rick from the threads here and a very fine album which he kindly sent me. I have always enjoyed that waspish sense of humour. It doesn't spare anything - but there is not an iota of spite in it. It can make you laugh at yourself and the craziness of this world. I hope we have Rick back here soon starting more daft threads. I hope we don't embabrrass him too much here, but here's to a talented, intelligent and generous man.
