Just pulling together all the tributes on here into a document to print off and send to Jenny. Once I tidied it up and had sensible page breaks the thing comes to 20 pages. Very impressive.

This is the final call for anyone who wished to make any comments for inclusion. What I have used is on www.fergs.net/ken.htm

Excellent Macbeth, just excellent.
I sincerely hope Jenny can draw some little comfort from our thoughts and memories of our dear friend.

Last night I was just venturing out of the house for a night out in Northampton. I had checked on the starting line up for the U21's game to check Shola was playing.

As I walked down the street I started singing to myself, "Shola, Shola Ameobi" to the tune of Barry Manilow's Cocacabana song.

ITK first introduced me to the idea of using that song for Shola during last season and it has stuck with me ever since. I really should make the effort to put some more words to it, but for the minute it shines as an example of the imagination of Ken.

I printed off the tributes yesterday and showed them to Lady MacBeth. She knows none of you at all, although she has heard tale of our Aberdeen correspondent.

She thought the tributes were excellent, felt that first time throug Jenny probably wouldn't take it all in but it would be an excellent long term reminder.

I've found a nice hard back display booklet with 24 pockets in it. I've also got classier paper to print on. It's all looking very nice.

I want to order the flowers today. I need a message for the card, and nobody has jumped forward with a suggestion, so as a starting point ...

"Ken, a true Geordie. 'In the Know' to all his friends on the internet, we'll miss you. Thanks for the laughs"

I'm not happy with it but I need to kick start you all :0)

Oh yes and I'm assuming unless somebody shouts very loud that we're going for the £30 posy, black and white theme.
