I'm afraid I have some very sad news about our good friend David Luff, known on this forum as Cog Sinister. He died yesterday. I have just been speaking to a friend in Dusseldorf and have asked him to pass on our condolences to David's family and to wish them well in this difficult time.
David's partner is aware of the vII book orders through the website and she will have to try to sort out where everything is with that, but obviously has more pressing things to deal with at the moment. So can I please ask everyone to be patient and in a couple of weeks time, we'll see if we can help her sort out what orders are still outstanding. If anyone has any questions, please email me - conwaypaton@gmail.com - please don't use Cog's PM or email address in the meantime. Thanks everyone. -------------------- New members - please read the "terms of use" of the forum, see link at top left of page.

Very sad news.
Last thing he told djhollerbusch, Ellen and me was...a great joke. He was laughing. Bye David.

Can't he break himself out of this?" Yes, I can. Swell. But that won't get me what I need to know. |

This is indeed horrible news.
I was emailing with him last week too - he was making sure that the Japanese address I gave him was right (it wasn't). Thanks to his checking the book made it's way here safely.

I presume it was a heart attack.

Horribly sad, shocking news.
I don't really know what else to say. I'll always be grateful for the books he published and the considerable part he played in The Fall's history. He went out of his way to send me some vinyl last year and again with the recent book too. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. -------------------- Click:

Shit, very sad news indeed.
 Deepest sympathies to his family and all others involved. -------------------- "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

Makes ones own problems seem very trivial - this is very sad news, he seemed like a very genuine guy indeed.

How dreadful. David did me a kindness recently so I know he was one of the good guys. My thoughts are with his family.
The new book is a worthy tribute to remember him by. -------------------- People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

That's awful news.
After Daves first post on this forum I started to give him some (playful) stick, and for my cheek (his words) he sent me a MES scrawled 80's setlist, a lyric book, the original tape cassette of Mark reading the first new years honours list and a hard-to-get long sleeved Cog Sinister t-shirt, all of which I adore. All of this sent first class from Germany to sunny Salford just because I engaged him in some banter. What a bloke. I'm gutted for his friends and family. -------------------- Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg....
