I hadn't seen Rupert in years, like 15. Mainly because i moved from the area. I owe it to him to write this. The guy was a legend, we had so many laughs. Brutal, hilarious, highly intelligent, and insanely sarcastic. He was one of the very few people that could see straight through my defensive persona back then, he took time to understand you and if he felt you worthy would invite you beneath his prickly, at times, exterior shell.
We spent literally hours talking about anything from the meaning of life, down too psychology, i even remember teaching him about neuro linguistic programming and sales techniques once.... yeah weird!
I have fond memories of hanging out with him amongst other at the Dungeon, being invited back to his, once after i had gotten my head kicked in and I'm sure he just took pity on me.
It was weird because i suppose when you looked in from the outside, you wouldn't have thought we would get on. We were so different. Rupert was an intellectual with who wouldn't hurt a fly, I was a bit bit of a lose cannon who got into fights. But we did, we got on quite well i thought.
Here's to you Rupert! See you on the other side...
Big Love
