That's really sad news - he was one of the characters on NSC. His posts were always entertaining - sometimes misguided, sometimes spot on, but always lively. He'll be sorely missed.

Condolences to you and all his familty

Just let that sink in for a moment...

SEVENTY-TWO THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR POSTS.

Agree or disagree with him, his dedication to NSC was never in question.

A true NSC legend has passed & we're so much the poorer for it.

Farewell BG...you'll never be forgotten on here.

This. RIP BG

Sad news! RIP BG.

RIP BG, sad news. The club should retire the LB roll in his honour..

What I loved the most about BG was he had opinions and stuck by them. He was " old school " for me but he always maintained a dignity and never got abusive. I loved him for the ripples he made on here. We are very sadly lacking a fabulous bloke now. RIP BG

Sad news. Condolences.
As others have noted here, my main memory will be his refusal to ever allow the back and forth that his posts usually led to to become bad natured.
Many funny moments, and not all, I suspect, entirely unintended.

Sorry to hear of your loss, another Seagull in the sky, RIP

Man, that’s come as a shock... so sad to read. This board will be greatly lessened by his departure - I find it hard to reconcile these transient moments in ‘social media land’ as people forget and move on so rapidly. As with certain other nsc legends who’ve sadly passed on, i for my part, will endeavour not to forget.

Ramble on BG - in peace.

The replies here speak for how much apart of the fabric of NSC he was.
I add my condolences to his family.

to put that into further perspective. If his average word count per post was 17.52 his total posts would be longer than Marcel Proust, "A la recherche du temps perdu". ... and a lot more entertaining.

11 words per post would be longer than The King James Bible!

Very sad new, he'll be much missed around these parts.

Condolences to his family and friends

I have to admit that if I saw a post by him I would always make a point of reading it first as I knew it would be entertaining and controversial at the same time but never spiteful ,keeping me amused for ages.You will be missed BG.

Sad to see this. RIP BG .

Best wishes to his loved ones, he will be missed.

No more internet, WiFi and firestick problems in the cloud for him now.

I'm really sorry to hear of BG's passing. Lots of his posts seemed accidentally confrontational, some, maybe, tongue in cheek deliberately so but most made me read them and inwardly shudder.In my minds eye I picture him as a kindly yet slightly curmudgonley(sp) old fellow. He must have not had a fingerprint on his right index finger with the amount of posts he made.Sincere condolences to all who knew him. RIP BG, accidental legend!

 

[fly high]

I would like to also add my condolence to all his family, as others said his posts were often controversial they were worth the read.

RIP BG. This board will be much poorer without him on it. I will raise a glass to him this evening. Sleep well.
