Remember Serge Today...

[timebug]

My son Marc, your old forum amigo 'Serge' would have been fifty today, had the universe not been such a random bastard at selecting who gets to hang around,and who doesn't. I am a virtial non drinker, but I will be raising a glass to his memory in thought at least.

[Absorb the anus burn]

Here's to Marc - truly one of CaB's best.

[Buelligan]

He was the bravest and the best of us and with the best beard too, never forgotten.  I raise a glass of spirit to a beloved virtual brother.

[NoSleep]

Here's to Serge/Marc.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Still miss him. Will raise a glass of Zero Cola to him this very instant.

[petercussing]

To Serge!

[poo]

Will raise a glass to him later.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

His birthday is still prompted via Facebook and so I took a moment earlier this morning to doff my cap. Lovely guy and much missed.

[Buelligan]

Also this.  Dancing.

[Icehaven]

Much missed, here's to you Serge.

[shiftwork2]

He's missed, and I'm glad you're here timebug as it's like there's a bit of him still around.  Best wishes to you.

[Non Stop Dancer]

Hope you're doing OK today Timebug. Happy birthday Serge.

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

Didn't have many personal interactions with him, but he seems much loved by everyone.

Hopefully the fact people think so fondly of him can give you a small bit of comfort.

[Bazooka]

I salute anyone who is a master of Mixed Grills, I wish good health to you Timebug.

[Jockice]

His birthday is still prompted via Facebook and so I took a moment earlier this morning to doff my cap. Lovely guy and much missed.

I saw that too. And I agree too. Just wish our plans to meet up had come to fruition

[Thomas]

As it happens, I was reading some of his posts last night. I hope you're well, timebug.

[Sexton Brackets Drugbust]

Friendly, supportive, warm and enthusiastic; Serge is much missed.

[Captain Crunch]

I only hung round with him twice outside of meets but one of those times was when the fantastic Kristin Hersh did a show at Rough Trade.  A big treat for everyone, I think he even got a pic?

Much missed.

[Janie Jones]

I think of him most days. Last night I got a question right in a zoom quiz entirely because I remembered something he'd told me about the Beatles.

[Glebe]

Serge was the heart of the forum, and an absolute mine of cultural knowledge. Sorely missed and much loved. Hope you're doing okay Timebug, and that you have a safe and Happy New Year.

[non capisco]

A wonderful individual, miss the hell out of that guy. Hope all's good with you, Timebug.

[Cerys]

What ^^^^^^^ they all said.  I don't tend to call people legends, but I'll make an exception for Serge.  Which makes you a father of legends, Timebug, because Marc had so many stories.

[holyzombiejesus]

Thinking of him and you, Timebug. The place hasn't been the same without him.

[Chedney Honks]

A great guy and superb poster. Nobody could have a bad word to say against him, and he clearly means a lot to so many on here. Hugs to you, timebug, and great to see you around.

[studpuppet]

I shall have a skim through the Alt Read subform in his honour, while sipping on an espresso with little lemon twist.

[touchingcloth]

Happy birthday, Serge!

I waver between smiling and crying whenever I notice the "Serge was here" subtitle on Shelf Abuse. Truly one of CaB's finest.

[selectivememory]

Yeah, I'll have a drink for him later on. Can only really echo what everyone else has already said. He was just a lovely guy and is still missed a great deal.

[greencalx]

Yes, he was lovely and is missed.

I've been remembering him a lot, as we're johnny-come-latelies to Breaking Bad and working our way through it as something to do during lockdown. I figured there'd be a thread on it somewhere, and indeed I found this one which has Serge giving his lowdown on each episode. If you're the one remaining person in the universe who's not seen it, I recommend doing so, if only so you can follow this thread.

To Serge

[druss]

Didn't know him but seems very well regarded, if I drank I would raise a glass.
