I was really shocked to hear the news this afternoon, and was pretty much unable to do anything productive for the rest of the day. There are very few people that I've never met whose death would make me feel like that.

As a colleague said: "people like John Peel aren't supposed to die"

Rest well, I'll miss you.

PS: I still smile when I remember you playing some really useless song, and commenting, in your inimitable voice: "That was by Buttock Cleavage"
