Title: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:06:36 It is with sad regret that I have to post the passing of Neville W, Terry Flowers in the real world.
Terry died last Monday of complications after being in hospital with pneumonia for a couple of weeks. He was only 53 and I am sure he will be missed, not just on here for his punnery, but he was a real Swindon Town fan. Having met him many times at matches and beer festivals he was a genuinely nice man. Terry lived on his own in North Swindon, I do not know who he leaves, but I understand his sister is dealing with his effects. RIP Neville. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:09:22 That's awful news. :(
As much as I groaned about the punfests, Terry (Nev) was a very nice bloke who I met on a few occasions. RIP Terry. The world is missing a punster short. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ardiles on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:10:43 RIP Nev. The other threads suddenly don't seem so important. Genuinely sorry to hear of the passing of someone I never met in the real world.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Saxondale on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:10:55 RIP Nev / Terry. Never met you, but was always entertained. In a way.

RIP Terry. The world is missing a punster short. Never met him, but loved his puns. RIP, Nev. Sad news, indeed. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Posh Red on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:11:17 Very Sad News indeed.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:15:03 sad news but am glad that we found out - neville has been around the TEF since it's beginnings.
no doubt the TEF will keep up his legacy of puns :) Title: Re: Neville W Post by: DMR on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:17:01 Fuck me, that's the most surreal thing I've ever read on here.
RIP Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ginginho on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:19:18 Never met him, but i'm shocked and very saddened by this news.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: red sheldon on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:46:18 I think this brings home the true meaning of being a town fan today, managers and players may come and go, but it is the fans that are the lifeblood of the team....
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: RobertT on Monday, February 18, 2013, 19:48:12 A rare man in that he was exaxctly how I imagined him in real life from his internet posts.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: LucienSanchez on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:00:51 Shocking news... only knew his internet persona, but am genuinely saddened by this news
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:04:27 Very sad news. He always seemed a pretty genuine bloke. Never met him and hope i don't meet up with him soon. RIP.

Spot on, never met Nev but he was a good/valued poster on here...RIP Neville W! Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Summerof69 on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:19:59 I did a few quiz nights with Terry at the CG. Top bloke.
RIP Terry (Nev) Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:21:03 Oh my gosh this brought a tear to my eye
RIP Neville This forum will not be the same without you Title: Re: Neville W Post by: pauld on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:21:36 Terrible news. Lovely man, genuine, funny, very clever and often a source of wise advice in difficult times. Not to mention a great quizzer. Gutted. RIP Terry.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Batch on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:24:15 Fucking hell, only just saw this. RIP Neville its Neville.
Its weird, never met him but feel one of the TEF family is gone. Not sure what to say. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Minnesota Fats on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:33:39 Farewell Neville W.
R.I.P. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: yeo on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:35:42 That's really sad news.
Tried to think of a suitable pun but failed Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:37:44 Glad to have bantered with him, even if it was only through the TEF. RIP Neville W
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: bullethead on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:38:56 RIP Neville
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: janaage on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:39:03 I know it sounds awful, but this should really turn into one massive punfest. I don't mean it rudely just think that it would somehow be fitting.
RIP Nev, I for one liked your puns, lightened the place up and kept up the 80% bollocks quota. RIP Nev gone but not forgotten! Thoughts with family and friends. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:41:14 Nev's last post was a pun. Very fitting.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Bewster on Monday, February 18, 2013, 20:59:49 Very sad - RIP Nev
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: janaage on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:03:21 Nev's last post was a pun. Very fitting. Sam was 'last post' a pun attempt by chance? Title: Re: Neville W Post by: joteddyred on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:05:37 Well Di Canio resigning didn't bring the tears, but this has.
RIP Nev xx Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:08:17 Sam was 'last post' a pun attempt by chance? Not at all. Although Nev liked a good pun, I don't think now is the time. Still rather shocked and saddened at the moment. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Arriba on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:09:02 Really sad to hear nev's died. A loss to this forum for sure. I'll miss reading his posts. Rip
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:10:36 Holy fuck! Puts it all into perspective really. Very sad news and thoughts are with his family and friends.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: janaage on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:11:47 Not at all. Although Nev liked a good pun, I don't think now is the time. Still rather shocked and saddened at the moment. That's fair enough. No offence intended to all. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Bumpkin on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:26:36 This really is sad news. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Title: Re: Neville W Post by: wheretherealredsare on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:29:05 RIP nev... if you could I believe you would have chosen this for us. It's called Afterglow by Helen Lowrie.
I'd like the memory of me, To be a happy one, I'd like to leave an afterglow Of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo Whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times & bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, To dry before the sun Of happy memories that I leave When life is done.

Rest in peas. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Shaw Rosso on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:33:08 RIP Neville
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:33:53 Fucking hell. I didn't know him, but I'm actually quite shocked. Rest in peas.

RIP buddy. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: wiggy on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:54:21 RIP Nev.
Just back from Beversbrook and this is definitely the worst news of the night. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:55:18 RIP Neville, one of the few TEFers I never had an argument with, your passing genuinely fills me with sadness and for me is more important than Paolo quitting us.
Managers come and go as do players but lifelong Town fans cannot be replaced and never will. Deepest condolances to his family. Bill Shankley once said "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that." Actually Bill, it isn't, when you think about it. Nev (Terry) I hope my grammar was up to your high standards. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 18, 2013, 21:59:26 Title: Re: Neville W Post by: TheDukeOfBanbury on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:00:58 So very sad and puts all other matters into perspective.
RIP ... A fellow Town fan looking down on the CG. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: china red on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:05:15 Shocking news, RIP Neville
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:07:24 My friend text me earlier and spelt Paolo wrong
All I could think of in my head was "Paolo, its Paolo" Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:11:06 My friend text me earlier and spelt Paolo wrong That is how he would have wanted it!All I could think of in my head was "Paolo, its Paolo" Title: Re: Neville W Post by: horlock07 on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:13:36 Fucking hell, only just saw this. RIP Neville its Neville. Its weird, never met him but feel one of the TEF family is gone. Not sure what to say. This. RIP Title: Re: Neville W Post by: suttonred on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:16:13 I actually had him on ignore as his rubbish puns annoyed the hell out of me. I'll probably burn for that, but RIP Nev, worst news today by far.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:18:09 Much as I detest puns, that is very sad news...53...no age at all.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Benzel on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:19:07 Never really interacte with him much on here but his word-play always had me creasing.
R.I.P nevillew. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Whits on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:22:32 RIP, very sad news, always liked his punning (not sure thats a real word) quality
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Baggins on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:34:45 I still read the forum but don't post very often. However on reading this I felt compelled to log in to add my condolences. I never met the man but on here he always made me smile. Certainly the TEF is poorer for his passing.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:43:09 RIP Nev. Will be giving him a good clap at the end of the season roll-call alongside the other Town fans who have passed.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: blinkpip on Monday, February 18, 2013, 22:43:23 I always thought he was a school teacher.
RIP poor chap. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: slinky on Monday, February 18, 2013, 23:06:15 One last time copied from his signature not that we will be needing it much anymore:
"Paolo Di Canio, it's Paolo Di Canio" RIP mate! Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Monday, February 18, 2013, 23:09:04 How sad. RIP Neville.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, February 18, 2013, 23:17:49 I liked his punnery. One of the good guys.
Rip. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Quagmire on Monday, February 18, 2013, 23:19:35 Awful news, Nev was one of the originals, such a young age too.
RIP. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Notts red on Monday, February 18, 2013, 23:20:15 Very sad news, RIP Nevillew.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 00:03:14 RIP Nev. The other threads suddenly don't seem so important. Genuinely sorry to hear of the passing of someone I never met in the real world. Couldn't agree more with this. Fuck. Forget the other stuff. Rest in piece Nev. Loved the puns, spent many an afternoon at work or in lectures creasing up over jokes I could never explain to anyone else. The place won't be the same without you. Rest in peace, it's rest in peace Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Wilf Shergold on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 00:07:25 Well, what a fucking end to a fucking miserable day. 53 years old for fuck's sake. Thing is, when you're one of 10/20k supporters at a town match, you're one of 'us'. We don't know each other (probably), but there's still the feeling that we're all in it for the long haul.
And we have good fun, win or lose, and we see the future (Paolo), and the past (Hart) and you know what? It doesn't really matter. We're STFC. Fuck the FA, the FL, Jed, the fucking money men that mean the PL is a closed shop. I'd rather we were in the Southern League and had 4k supporters for a supporter-run club. I've drunk a couple of bottles of wine...bollocks to football, it's only the supporters that matter. R I P Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Dozno9 on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 06:10:18 Forever Red

Well done for posting...must have been a tough topic to approach and word. Title: Re: Re: Neville W Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 09:22:02 Once we find out the funeral details, would it be possible for us to collect some money to donate to charity?
Thats what happens at funerals isnt it? Title: Re: Neville W Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 09:44:16 Enjoyed your puns Nev (Terry). Even though some were really awful, they were still read with a smile on my face.
You've got the best seat in the house now to carry on watching the comedy show that is STFC RIP Title: Re: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 09:54:53 Once we find out the funeral details, would it be possible for us to collect some money to donate to charity? Thats what happens at funerals isnt it? It is usually up to the family to decide on donations or flowers or whatever. Perhaps we can do something collective. I am personally still quite shaken by this. He was such a nice guy and the same age as me. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ardiles on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 09:56:26 Plan for the future, but live for now. Take nothing, or anyone, for granted.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 11:04:48 Club have come back to me to say Media dept is investigating to see if the team sheet thing is possible.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 12:11:55 Club have come back to me to say Media dept is investigating to see if the team sheet thing is possible. Thanks Flash, that's good, and see below. Update on the funeral from my lady: Quote Terry’s funeral is next Tuesday the 26th Feb at 3pm at the crematorium. His family don’t come from Swindon, but his parents are having his funeral here because of his friends. Nothing has been in the paper and I’m not sure if it will be. They are asking for donations, not flowers, to the intensive care unit at the Great Western. His sister is trying to get an announcement in the Swindon Town programme for the next home game, but as that’s not until next Saturday, it might all be a bit too late. I am sure that anyone who is around on Tuesday would be more than welcome. Would anyone like to take on a collection? I'm rather swamped with work at the moment. A PayPal account would be good I guess. Can someone kindly put this on Facebook and Twitter please, as I don't do those thangs. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 13:39:17 Club have come back to me to say Media dept is investigating to see if the team sheet thing is possible. Nice one. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 15:08:06 I met Terry (Neville) a few times, such a shame a real nice guy - RIP

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: SirWinston on Wednesday, February 20, 2013, 12:53:15 A mate told me about Nev's passing last night and I felt genuinely sad, even though I'd never met him. A salient reminder that each poster has a real person behind the Handle and Avi (well most of you).
As JFW said earlier in the thread, every time I see Paolo written incorrectly, I always think "Paolo, it's Paolo" and for that I'll remain grateful to Nev. RIP indeed. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, February 20, 2013, 12:55:30 Very sad to hear about this. RIP Nev.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: dporter on Wednesday, February 20, 2013, 15:12:25 Such sad news and such a young age. I hope he's "Tripping the light puntastic" up there.

Would anyone like to take on a collection? I'm rather swamped with work at the moment. A PayPal account would be good I guess. No takers then, that's ok. I have taken tomorrow and Friday off work and have emailed the GWH as they have a Just Giving account to see if we can divert a collection to the Intensive Care Unit. I will let you know what they say but that would be an easy way to get the donations in. If they can't or won't I will go to plan B and put my PayPal and bank details up by PM for anybody who would like to contribute. The idea is that if we can get collections in by Monday then I will be there at the funeral on Tuesday and can let his family know that we have done what we can. So okay, he wasn't a close friend but I feel this one. His neighbour described Terry as 'a Swindon Town fanatic'. Sing up for Nev on Saturday. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, February 20, 2013, 22:57:57 I think there should be a Neville W tribute on here, something like naming a forum after him.
How about the Neville W Punfest forum, for all jokes etc.? Would be fitting, and would associate a smile with his memory.

Please keep us updated with regards to donations, I will definitely contribute.
I may see if I can swing Tuesday afternoon off and pay my regards. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Arriba on Thursday, February 21, 2013, 11:13:55 I would like to contribute if this gets set up
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: 4D on Thursday, February 21, 2013, 11:19:55 General Discussion: A forum for all private matters, corporal punishment, major problems etc (please add more military puns) Tanks for the suggestion.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, February 22, 2013, 09:56:14 I have now spoken to the GWH Fundraising Dept and we can route our donations to the ICU for Nev through their Just Giving page.

If you do, please can you make a note on here just so we can keep the topic at the top of the Recent Topics list. You don't have to reveal how much you put in, every little would be appreciated by his family I am sure.

Pm me with what you want and I'll see if I can sort it- can't make any promises mind... Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Batch on Friday, February 22, 2013, 21:16:48 Thanks Alan.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, February 22, 2013, 21:31:06 I will mail club on Monday ref the programme.
We will be sponsoring Nev as a player til the end of the season. Fuck you Ritchie! You're not fit to polish Nevs puns!!! Title: Re: Neville W Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, February 22, 2013, 21:32:49 I will mail club on Monday ref the programme.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, February 22, 2013, 21:41:14 Does than mean i get Nev's shirt? Oh fuck me ......I forgot about the shirt!!!! Do you want me to: 1. Get a wanky Tin pot Bmuff shirt? 2. Ask for a player of your choice...? 3. Something else? Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ginginho on Friday, February 22, 2013, 21:45:24 Get the shirt to say "Paolo, it's Paolo" on the back
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, February 22, 2013, 21:51:16 Oh fuck me ......I forgot about the shirt!!!! I'm not bothered. i was going to say something about taking the shirt off Nev's back. Do you want me to: 1. Get a wanky Tin pot Bmuff shirt? 2. Ask for a player of your choice...? 3. Something else? Would the club do a signed shirt with Ginginhos suggestion that we could then auction off. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, February 22, 2013, 22:36:16 I'm sure they would. We're owed a shirt as part of the package we paid for anyway. The name shouldn't make a difference.
Maybe ask if the squad can sign it? Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, February 22, 2013, 23:04:15 Well done everybody, it is going well. Thank you.
I really like the idea of auctioning off a signed shirt. Nice one Chalkie (your reward will be a bag of soft tomatoes). The forum rename is spot on. Long live the memory of Nev. On a personal note I watched my mum die in hospital from pneumonia a few years back. I couldn't believe that nothing could be done to save her, with all of the medical technology available. So with that in mind this is a very worthwhile cause. Perhaps with a few more quid in intensive care wards she and Terry might have made it through. If you haven't donated, are going to the match tomorrow and you are in two minds about contributing then maybe you could have one pint less at the pub and chuck the price of a beer in instead. It would be appreciated. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, February 22, 2013, 23:14:16 I'm not bothered. i was going to say something about taking the shirt off Nev's back.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Notts red on Friday, February 22, 2013, 23:37:29 Donated. Well done Alan for setting up. Think I messed up on the donation message so I'll say it now. Never met you Nev but one of the TEF family. RIP.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Nemo on Saturday, February 23, 2013, 10:43:05 Can't make today's game so I've given my usual ticket price. It's good to see the response from a whole bunch of people who largely didn't know Nev, keep going.
Here's the link for those who can't flip back to page 9 http://www.justgiving.com/Terry-Flowers-STFC-forums Perhaps a mod could put the link next to the trust one at the top of a forum? Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Posh Red on Saturday, February 23, 2013, 13:41:31 The sponsorship page in the programme today carries the message

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Arriba on Sunday, February 24, 2013, 18:10:08 Would like to think we could hit the £500 mark

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Sunday, February 24, 2013, 18:43:35 Only just seen this I won't be able to afford much but will give tomorrow when I get paid
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Batch on Sunday, February 24, 2013, 18:50:17 £1 would take us to £250...
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: horlock07 on Sunday, February 24, 2013, 19:08:44 Will sort a donation tomorrow as I have somewhat more confidence in the IT system at work rather than home!
After some of the rubbish that has been spouted on here over last week this puts it all in perspective, seeing the response on here for a guy that most of us only ever knew via the forum makes me proud to be a Town fan. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Hitchinred on Sunday, February 24, 2013, 19:32:56 Done.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Sunday, February 24, 2013, 20:26:20 £1 would take us to £250... I think I could manage more than £1? Title: Re: Neville W Post by: horlock07 on Monday, February 25, 2013, 13:11:57 Done.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, 10:36:35 Now over three hundred quid.
Thanks everybody who has chipped in, that is a great effort. I am going to print off the Just Giving page and the forum thread for Terry's relatives and give it to them this afternoon at the funeral to let them know how well thought of he was in STFC forum world. More donations still gratefully received. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, 11:17:41 I hope they don't mind a bit of profanity...
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, 11:38:44 Tipex the C**** out!
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Neville Ws Sis on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 20:45:56 Dear Posters and Donators
I just wanted to say that all Nev's family would like to thank you for your best wishes and kind comments. Talk Talk gave us the posts and we were floored...this was a side of Terry/Nev that we knew nothing about, but I can tell from references to his punning capability and Chief of Grammar Police that Neville was definitely my brother. I can promise you that anyone who ends up in our position at the ICU in GWH will always appreciate the donations you've made especially as it will all help with staffing and equipment - these people are amazing and worked so hard for Terry, but it was not to be. For me, Swindon is a lonelier place now, but next time I drive through Swindon on match day and moan about the traffic (sorry!) I'll be listening for cheers and ref abuse in his memory. Once again, many thanks, and we'll treasure your comments. Sis. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 20:51:19 You're welcome.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Notts red on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 20:58:44 And thank you for taking the time to relay your and your families message to the TEF.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ardiles on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 21:03:12 You're very welcome. And sorry for your loss.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 21:15:48 Thanks for the post, Neville Ws Sis. Condolences to you and the rest of Nev's family and friends.
Ps. Why do they call him Terry :) Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Neville Ws Sis on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 21:27:02 Thanks for the post, Neville Ws Sis. Condolences to you and the rest of Nev's family and friends. Ps. Why do they call him Terry :) 'Cos it's better than 'Teg' (rhymes with veg) Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 22:34:10 Hopefully the TEF done him proud, and there is a permanent memorial to him on the site with the renaming of a forum, so feel free to pop in now and then.
Just excuse the language... Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 22:37:20 Hello Nev's sis.
Thank you for your kind words. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Bewster on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 22:38:04 Thanks Nev's Sis. Condolences to all of you.

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: leefer on Friday, March 15, 2013, 20:27:57 What a brilliant thread this is.....a sad one but in time i reckon we will look back and be proud.
UP THE TOWN. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Friday, March 15, 2013, 22:39:29 I think this has given Nev legendary status on the TEF. People will mention him or more likely correct a spelling twice with an it's in between and new members will ask who the hell is Nev? It will be explained and this thread will be linked over and over again! It will probably keep Paolo's name in the forefront forever too!
Paolo, it's Paolo! Nev must be looking down chuffed as fook that he has had such an impact! A run of the mill poster, understated, and it seemed his passing affected more people than he would ever have thought when he was alive. Long live NevilleW! Even if only in this thread! Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Neville Ws Sis on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 07:49:18 Good Morning All,
Thought I'd just let you know that with your generous donations and those made at Terry/Nev's funeral we have raised over £800 for the ICU at Great Western. We're overwhelmed with this and 'thanks' just doesn't seem enough. I've never heard my brother described as 'legendary' Berni.............but I like it!! Sis Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 15:59:22 Good news Sis. I hope life is starting to get back to normal after losing Nev.
I'm sure he is having a chuckle at becoming the first bonified TEF legend. :D :beers: Title: Re: Neville W Post by: leefer on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 19:25:35 Good Morning All, Thought I'd just let you know that with your generous donations and those made at Terry/Nev's funeral we have raised over £800 for the ICU at Great Western.

Apologies if I'm missing some obvious cultural reference.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 20:23:36 What have I done? Level with us. Do you not know, or are you just having a laugh. We'll be gentle, I promise. ;D Title: Re: Neville W Post by: wiggy on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 20:26:14 Looks like it was a bonafide spelling mistake on Berniman's part.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 20:39:11 Phew... Just the typo, no I saw that! :)
For a horrible minute I thought I had put something inappropriate or insensitive without realising. Not usually a problem on the TEF but I did not want to do that on this thread, especially when talking to Sis. My stomach sank for a moment there! Bonafide, it's bonafide! Cheers for scaring the shit out of me Chalkie! :D Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 20:43:12 Bonafide, it's bonafide! Isn't it 'bona fide' though? (I've gone all Nev!) Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 20:47:07 It seems you might be right Nev

I still like mine better, gonna stick with it I think :) Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 07:51:43 One year on. In memoriam, Terry Flowers.
Gone but not forgotten. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Nomoreheroes on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 22:11:56 Thanks for the reminder. Found myself sat here reminiscing for 5 minutes after seeing the thread resurrected.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 22:53:54 :pint: Raise a glass..
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: 4D on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 23:29:07 I'll raise a glass to Nev, the donation banner is still at the top. It did cross my mind when we got to February that it was around a year ago he passed away.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Batch on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 23:44:03 Every bad pun and "...it's...." reminds me of Nev.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: wiggy on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 23:48:50 I miss Nev. Not the same without him.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, February 12, 2014, 09:54:19 I miss Nev. Not the same without him. Agreed. He was and still remains one of my favourite posters. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: pauld on Wednesday, February 12, 2014, 10:29:53 Echo all the above. Forum's not the same without Nev, County Ground not the same either. RIP Terry
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, 11:16:36 Two years on, I'm sure Terry is around somewhere enjoying this season's ride

The only significant and lasting contribution I have had to the TEF over the years is my suggestion to name a forum after him. Gives me a warm feeling inside as his memory lives on. RIP Nev. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Talk Talk on Tuesday, June 30, 2015, 14:38:40 Had a donation to the GWH Just Giving site on Monday.
Quote So sorry to find this page. Was at Portsmouth with Terry and wondered what had happened as I hadn't heard for a while. Such a wit. 2012 Christmas card said 'see you next year'.. Donation by Caroline on 28/06/15 Hope that you are enjoying the sunshine wherever you are Terry :toocool: Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 09:06:58 Good to see that his memory is living on through us and some other fans that crossed his path..
I will be starting the fund raising for the player sponsorship soon, if we manage to raise more than is needed perhaps we should send some flowers to his family or make a further donation etc.. just to highlight the fact that his memory still lives on daily on the TEF.. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 19:32:35 That's a lovely idea
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Batch on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 19:56:12 Like that.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 19:58:31 I read this and can't help but think of Shaw Rosso as well.
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 19:59:12 What's happened to Shaw Rosso?
Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 20:02:14 What's happened to Shaw Rosso? He's disappeared (from the TEF) I sent an email to him and his wife replied saying that hes been sick but should be back soon. This was fucking ages ago. He mentioned something about an emergency visit to the hospital not long before he disappeared also. I can only guess, but I don't think it's good. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 20:04:16 Shit, fingers crossed he's on the road to recovery now and just taking a break from the forum.

Its a difficult one, suspect not good but wouldn't want to intrude on his family by asking again. Last on November 2014 :( Title: Re: Neville W Post by: joteddyred on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, 21:09:42 That's the thing, unless somebody knows them in the flesh, you don't know if somebody has left the forum not by choice. It's a horrible thought, but it's likely that other posters as well as Nev may have passed away in the last couple of years, just nobody from here knew them in real life. It's really sad :(

Last on November 2014 :( Does no one know him in RL? I guess If I croaked it bobs orange, pets or otanswell on here would find out down the line somewhere. Admittedly after i haunted them most probably, but is a sobering thought about the internet generation. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, August 12, 2015, 10:24:28 For those that are not interested, and don't look in the Player Sponsorship thread, we have decided that any extra money collected from this will go towards a donation in Neville's name to the Red Army fund for building the roof on the Stratton Bank.
If anyone is interested in donating some dosh on Neville's behalf (however small) then PM and me and I will send you payment details so that you can contribute. We will have around £30 spare so far, it would be good if we could get a half decent pot together to donate and bring it to the attention of his family.

RIP Nev. TEF legend. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, February 11, 2016, 17:19:43 Indeed, gone but not forgotten.
I hardly dare ask but I assume no one knows what happened to Shaw Rosso? :no: Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, February 11, 2016, 17:35:04 I heard somewhere that he was ill. Would be great to hear from him.

I'll have a glass of wine or four tonight in his memory. RIP Neville. Paolo, it's Paolo. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, February 11, 2022, 14:18:05 Someone mentioned Talk Talk on a different thread and it reminded me about Neville, and it just happens to be the 8th anniversary of his passing today. He was and remains one of my favourite posters on here.
RIP Neville. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Nemo on Friday, February 11, 2022, 14:21:01 Doesn't say much for the rest of us that he's still one of your favourite posters 8 years posthumously!

Title: Re: Neville W Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, February 11, 2022, 15:45:23 Wow, time flies. Still miss Terry's punnery.
And there are at least four other posters who contributed to this thread that are no longer with us :( Title: Re: Neville W Post by: DiV on Friday, February 11, 2022, 15:52:32 Without being too morbid.
I wonder how many ex posters are no longer with us but we have literally no idea. Title: Re: Neville W Post by: horlock07 on Friday, February 11, 2022, 16:11:36 Without being too morbid. I wonder how many ex posters are no longer with us but we have literally no idea. That's the issue with such places, especially where people post under an assumed name and like myself don't know anyone IRL.
