The late, great Dave Allen..

A very funny man.

"May your god go with you".

Yep, simply outstanding comedian.

Here are some of his most famous quotes:

"I still think of myself as I was 25 years ago. Then I look in a mirror and see an old b*stard and realise it's me."
"Am I the Irish comedian with half a finger? No, I'm the Irish comedian with nine and a half fingers."
"I don't go out of my way to be outrageous, I just go out of my way to look at things."
"I'm an Atheist...thank God."
"I've stopped smoking...I think the cost was a lot of it, and not being able to breathe. I first gave up smoking when I was eight."
"A good storyteller never lets the facts get in the way."
"We spend our lives on the run: we get up by the clock, eat and sleep by the clock, get up again, go to work - and then we retire. And what do they give us? A clock."
"If it's sent by ship then it's a cargo, if it's sent by road then it's a shipment."
"Don't mourn for me now, don't mourn for me never - I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever (what Allen said he would like to have inscribed on his tombstone) "
"Goodnight, thank you, and may your God go with you"

We shall have to get together for another away trip sometime Stef?
Last time was Burnley away about 7/8 years ago I think?

Although having that beer down Swansea marina with your car decked out in City colours was fun too!

Thank you, goodnight, and may your God go with you. A true genius.

"Get into them... SOUL CREW..."

Slightly West, looks like it will be some time until I visit Wales next. Wanted to come next in August, but tbh I cant be arsed now, as there is no football club for me.

Sad times eh Stef?

I respect your decision, but I just cannot walk away from the Club. It is still Cardiff City only in a different colour for me.(would love it to stay Blue though)

Stay in touch on here though Stef. I know you're on FB but I don't use it so much. Should you ever come back to Wales let me know and I'll arrange a meet for a few Hofmeister's.
You should still have that German Shepherd flag at games though. It is often talked about in many and varied places.

cheers Steve. I dont go to matches anymore, last season the only ones I watched were City at Oxford, Home v BHA, Home v Brizzle, Burnley away and Wrexham at Bath...and the flag was on display at all 5.
think I will retire now, I've let the shock sink in for a few days, but tbh I cant see myself actively supporting that rebranded team. as long as these changes stay, I am in exile. count me in if we are in the Blue Square, but as the Cardiff City we all knew, loved and felt passionate about...
