A leftie through and through, but not nasty with his replies like some.
The Four Canal walk was a good money spinner for charity, and the conversation when trying to teach Tommy Toes on here how to use the functions on a mobile phone was hilarious, but nothing will beat 'The Downfall of Tommy Toes' hitler parody video, that was superb. Does anybody know what the cause of his demise was? He didn't smoke or do drugs but we know he liked a drink or six and was overweight. R.I.P. |

I've been away from the forum for a long time and just returned in the last few days and saw this thread.
Like many others, I always enjoyed reading Sparkmaster's posts, he was a sharp cookie who always expressed his thoughtful opinions in a respectful manner, even when you were talking pish (and lots of us on here do). Life is a strange journey and on the day that I dipped back in to the form earlier this week, my wife returned from a trip to the shopping mall with the kids. They had acquired yet more stuff for the kids to mess around with, a plastic tea set for my little girl and an inflatable red horse for her little brother, just what we need, eh. Anyway, the horse was announced as being called Sparky, I assure you that I am not making that up. Aint life strange. RIP Sparkmaster, gone but not forgotten. |

I would not have described sparky as a lefty. He was one of a select number of people on here who didnt feel any blind allegiance to a political party or, necessarily even a political movement. For that reason he was always worth listening to on matters politics... He was in no way one eyed. He had done lots of walking in the last couple of years and had lost a lot of weight from some of the pics on here. There were other health issues recently but, rightly or wrongly, I never asked him about the specifics of these.

He does have Jeremy Corbyn as a "likes" on facebook, suggests he was a little bit left of centre, but absolutely nowt wrong with that in my book.
The earlier post describes his as not being one eyed. Anyway, an all round good bloke who has been taken from his family and friends way too early. |

The 'chit chat photo thread' of him shows him at a fancy dress if I remember correctly. His girlfriend at the time was a real stunner dressed up as a squaw.
I'm going back ten years or so but if TGM was here he could back that up. He actually told me a story about her. There was no malice in it but he did say he would never speak to her again for some reason. |

Good bloke. Funny, intelligent, articulate, and not in the least bit mental. Probably why he stood out on chit-chat.
RIP Sparky. |

I didn't know.
I've returned to Chit Chat tonight for the first time since the end of October 2016 and on reading the pub thread saw that Sparky had passed - so I've looked for a thread that confirms it. I'm devastated. Sparky was a very special human being and his glorious sense of humour and pure, sparkling humanity was something rarely seen - and which will never be replaced. May you be forever in eternal peace now my dear, dear old friend. |
