Our top bod over in our Manchester office has Norman Collier as his email/phone avatar because we're having a lot of problems with our new (9 months!!!) phone system and that's who they all sound like over there (on the phone!).

RIP Norman

, who was a gunner during WWII.

There used to be a radio program here in Los Angeles called "Cynic's Choice". It used to air a lot of the BBC radio comedy shows and I became familiar with Collier through that show. He was always good for a hearty laugh. He will be missed...

RIP, Norman and rest well...
