That's a real shock. His name often appears on my FB page. I'd no idea he was ill.
May he rest in peace.
Illegitimi non carborundum
Dear Oh Dear. What sad times.
RIP Corny joke man.

And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
Jeezus. Sorry to hear this too.
I didn’t know MTM at all, but his was one of the first names I learned, when I first stated using racing forums back in 2002 (or whenever it was), and he was a stalwart at keeping the Jokes thread going on here.
RIP.

So sorry to hear about this. Although I didn't know him at all I recognise his name from some of the competitions with other forums (Final Furlong maybe?).
Thoughts with his family and friends.
RIP
He used to be a profilic poster in the earlier days. Sorry to hear this, condolences to his friends and family.
A lovely, lovely man. He helped me many times with my techy problems (silly old fool that I am!) and we shared many a PM . Brother of the late Cardiffian. As Granger said recently, we are in the main but a forum, anonymous to each other. But there is, to me anyway, a real sense of loss when one of us passes away. Rest in Peace, Ned. Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Sorry to hear this.
RIP Merlin
Don't think I was on here when merlin was around RPI fella.
RIP John/Merlin. One of the very first members on here, number 12 in fact back in 2003.
RIP. Always posted up a few jokes back in the day
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
I met John and Terry at Alan Morgan’s funeral, both were big, powerful and instantly likeable men - solid individuals in both senses. John was outspoken about what he perceived to be wrong and wasn’t prepared to concede to political correctness. I can say that because he definitely was the type of man who would stand with the underdog whatever their complexion.
I’m very sorry to hear of his passing and my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
RIP Merlin. Best wishes to all of the family should they read in.

RIP Merlin.
RiP, thoughts with the family.
Nice post Dan.
Go in peace Merlin.
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.
very sad to hear this. RIP Merlin
