"One of the most traditional religious tributes as it marks the entry to heaven with the gates ajar to welcome the deceased. This large tribute has a base of white chrysanthemums which sits on an edging of pleated yellow ribbon. A welcoming spray of flowers is placed near the gates using striking cream lilies, yellow roses and foliage then finished with a single yellow rose near the cross."

I would like to see a custom made Green Amiga Alien.

BippyM · 10 March 2007, 22:13

I think they will make a custom wreathe

Damien on Monday can you contact them and see if they can make a green alien wreathe?

If they can then I think we should go with that

I can most certainly ask them

I guess the best picture to send them as a reference is either:

1) From Paul's avatar.
2) From Paul's most excellent website: http://guide.abime.net/

Failing that, how about an Amiga "boing ball"? Should be easy enough one would think?

Dizzy · 10 March 2007, 22:20

I like Retro-Nerd's idea specially

Thanks for visting our planet, Green Amiga Alien. Rest in peace, wherever you are.

On my search for inspiration for a wreath I found this. Think Paul would love it

Haakon · 10 March 2007, 22:20

£4.60 GPB here (stupid amount, i know. But's whats left on my PayPal).

Edit: and need an email to send to?

DamienD · 10 March 2007, 22:40

As for sending money to somewhere, let's not worry about that now given that we are all from different countries and it's hard to get anything to a central location on time...

The main thing is that we get something from all of us to Paul's parents on behalf of all EAB

I've already said I don't mind taking care of this no matter what the cost is of the wreath (be it custom or whatever).

Afterwards we can work out how to centralise all donations / contributions and anything left over we can donate to either the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy foundation, something else for Paul / Paul's family or whatever else we all decide is appropriate ;0

CodyJarrett · 10 March 2007, 22:50

To be honest, I'd prefer a simple wreath with something similar to keropi's words e.g. "From all your friends at the EAB".

DamienD · 10 March 2007, 22:58

No problem at all Cody Jarrett. That's exactly what's this thread is all about, trying to guage what's the best way to handle this...

We should all contribute ideas and on Tuesday say at rougly 3pm I will order whatever it is we have all decided is the best way to go

Keep the comments / ideas flowing

Dizzy · 10 March 2007, 23:12

some nice quotes:

Quote:

Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before, advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod.

Aristophanes

Quote:

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.
~Marcel Proust

It feels extremely embarassing to say this but I cannot donate anything unless I skip paying the rent this month

Perhaps if I wouldn't have bought that CD32 last month I would've had money to spare... Or if I stop eating for a few days. I just want to say that if I could I would... I am working on a CD32 collection though which - if it turns out good enough - will be "released" on proper ftps. It will surely be dedicated to our beloved friend Paul. Hope he would've appreciated that... *ashamed*

I'll go hide in a dark corner now

BippyM · 10 March 2007, 23:31

fisk don't be embarrased. Not everyone is so fortunate, we know you would if you could and that is what counts

DamienD · 10 March 2007, 23:32

Don't be silly fisken uno

Anything in Paul's memory is a good thing. It doesn't have to be monitary, it's the thought that counts and the we keep his memory alive...

In that respect with your compilation you are doing a great thing

blade002 · 10 March 2007, 23:34

Donation of 20 Pounds from me.

Magno Boots · 10 March 2007, 23:57

I will pledge £20 also.

I believe that CodyJarrett is correct in his statement that a simple wreath is fitting.
Something humble and modest as the man was himself.

Take care buddy.
Regards,
Mick

adolescent · 11 March 2007, 00:04

I'll donate £20. I'd opt for something simple, and let Paul's family use the rest for any expenses they may have or donate it as they see fit. Since I'm in the US PayPal is really my only option to get money there quickly. So, let us know where to send.

DamienD · 11 March 2007, 00:14

Again I will stress, please don't worry about the time frame for donating / contributing...

It will never happen with so many of us being from different countries and the speed of payment options...

What's important is that you reply to this thread with an estimated donation / contribution of whatever you are comfortable with (no matter how large or small, it's the thought that counts)

I will take care of the rest for now

Later we will work out a centralised donation / contribution area and anything over the spent amount will be given to Paul's parents to decide what is best

thinlega · 11 March 2007, 00:58

put me in for £10 squids.

Adropac2 · 11 March 2007, 01:06

I'm in .20 quids for me too.

T_hairy_bootson · 11 March 2007, 01:26

I can afford 10 pounds here.
