I think it in order to bring memorial brass plates from SN of selected passed members of celebrity (of which Stan is certainly one such).

If we have to bring over body bags too, however, I fear the delay in handling them over the raft of survival craft that are now hazarding our navigation may prove decidedly unhygienic.

I'll drink to that.

For those who do not Know Stan was the most popular and respected member of SN. I am sure we will have many of Stan's memories to come but at a time when there was some back biting and unfortunate posting on SN Stan stood out like a beacon of British common sense and maintained the highest standards. I cannot remember the exact title but there was a poll of some description for everyone's favourite poster on SN and Stan won by a mile.
