So sad news for me and many more peeps who knew this guy, but Budgie aka Ritchie passed away from cancer last week, he was well known around a few forums, i first came across him way back around 2006 on thctalk where he was admin , but around 2009 their was big bust up with the new owners and quite a few members moved on to set up another forum, i worked with Budgie as a moderator for years their . But first time i came across him in rl we were traveling way up north to a party in his car to Barrow in Furness to meet a few of the forum faces, it was first time i ever got wrecked on rso, i was slavering like a 5 year old all night and i remember trying to get some sleep in the car on way home and every time i started nodding off he would slam on the breaks to wake me up

. He used to come up mine from time to time for a smoke, its hit me hard has this one, but yes all i can say now is R.I.P mate you`ll live forever in my mind.
Have a toke for me where ever you are bro.
Here`s his little blog he wrote towards the end
