JamesM - The Man, The Legend, The Thread

man you suck. loved you to bits but this is just fucked.

I'm freakin devastated hey. He was one of the truly bright lights out there and the world won't be the same without The M. Come down the Austral and numb up people.

very sorry to hear this truly one of the funniest people i've had the pleasure to meet.
I extend my deepest sympathies out to those people he was closest to.
I know it's hard but try to take the time to remember the good times and all the laughs that you have shared with the "M"

What . How?

im on my way

I'll be heading there as soon as I can get out of work...

I met you at the bluelight disco back in Primary School - You were always a (M)star and such a bright bright one at that.

You will never be forgotten and I wish I could say more but I am just so stunned at the news.

Much Love and respect always.

R.I.P. Mr M

jesus.  RIP james.  

stay strong everyone, remember all the good times, and i KNOW you all had a lot of good times.

this is fucked.. way too young to be taken away
rip mate, always a smilin face, always happy to see everyone..
everyone here has been blessed by the m factor at some point

its crazy news, shocking.  i remember james being frigging awesome to me when i was a massive newbie in 2004, he mighta been a bit full on for the fun of it but once i got to know him he had nothing but respect for the people around him.  he commanded an audience with his usual wit, flair and comedic style.

of course the last couple of years i havent seen him as much, and this is just crap. have a beer for me guys, u are all in my thoughts

This just doesn't feel real to me yet. James is the guy you imagine cheating death and then laying a high 5 and a joke on you. I'm out the door now for The Austral hey. Hope I've pulled my emotions together by then

I cant believe it i just cant believe it

:(

I cant believe it i just cant believe it

 

Wow. Really unfortunate, definitely gonna miss his witty banter. RIP dude.

We'll be heading down to the Austral soon.

RIP M

I wish I could be there for my friends and to have a drink for James.

He could keep me entertained at parties for hours on end, just doing silly shit and talking nonsense.

You'll be missed mate

This just doesn't feel real to me yet. James is the guy you imagine cheating death and then laying a high 5 and a joke on you.

 

Rest in peace

Never got to meet him but I always thought that I would one day   


He was funny 

I cant believe I only intoduced myself properly to him a week ago & now hes gone.... seemed like a real champion!! 

RIP JAMES...

none of this seems real....

RIP mate.

wow what a shock

way too young to be taken away

RIP James

RIP The M

i would dare say that man lived his life to the fullest


hope ryan is ok aswell

i never really met the guy or had much to do with him but this is a sad loss. way too young to die.

just makes me more angry and more determined not to ever do drugs because of shit like this.

RIP JAMES M

 

We cant believe this has happened, shocked big time.

James was such a funny character, havnt known him for long, maybe a couple of years but he was a top bloke.

Going to miss his sense of humor and his face out there on the dancefloor!!

Much love to all friends and family, remember the good times cause hell there are soooo many!!!

Hugs, Mwah

The "m" what can I say that hasnt been said? Didnt know him well. But the few times we got on the level was enough to know he was a sick cunt.  Rest In Peace buddy.

Very sad and shocked to hear this. Met James only a few times, but had a really nice chat with him at the last Funkshop I attended a few weeks back and looked forward to seeing him again. My thoughts are with his family and the many mates he had.

Sincere condolences to all who were close to the enigmatic and distinguished character known as M. Although unfortunately only having the opportunity to get on the level with him a few times I will certainly miss the random encounters, he was quite possibly one of the funniest mutherfuckers to grace these adelaide streets with his presence.
 
 Sad fucking news indeed. James was not merely a gentleman and a scholar but a grand pillar in our society.
 
 -REST IN PEACE, AND REST ASSURED THAT YOUR LIFE LIFTED THE SPIRITS OF HUMANS BY THE THOUSANDS.

i met the M when he was my boss at a call centre in 02.. always good value to have around..

rip mate.
 

i think im going to be sick.

James, you really knew how to make a scene and how to make someone laugh. will be missing your range babe. always x

what the fuck?

ah dude, what the hell?

cant drive to the austral cos im too drunk to drive. sorry dude, this is really shit.

RIP James.. you shall be missed..

ergh I'm so far away this is wak god i've known james for well over 5 years and the changes I've seen in that kid are unbelievable.

fuck, i just thought about all the things we said we'd do together when i came back home.

lame

This is hardcore.
R.I.P

I heart you James and I always will. You are one of my most favourite - the most loyal of loyal friends. The most brightest, shining star, keeping it too real. Forever in my heart xxoo

RIP James, you funny, crazy man. You were always the life and soul of the party!
Always smiling and out to have a good time.

you will be sorely missed and never forgotten!

Love and respect M! My deepest condolences to all his close friends and family.

xoxoxo

Fuck man... this shit really really hurts.

James, u will be missed by so many...

Such a great person to be around, so full of energy and barely without a smile...

R.I.P

 


Mad respect.


Absolutely Shattered. Completely Empty.


R~!1

I dont think words can quite explain how much of a top bloke the M was.

Sending much love and support to all his friends and family.  Wish i was there with you guys right now.

RIP buddy.  ill be sure to have drink for you as soon i get out of work.


 

Fuck. Harsh as it gets. Sat night was the first time I saw him in ages and everything just feels surreal. Big up James...


mR.mI.mP. (The Ms are all silent, mate.)

I'll never forget you buddy. Love ya mate.

I only ever met James a couple of times and then left Aus.  Still I feel sick at hearing about this and can not beleive it is true. 

Love out to everyone and someone please give Timmay the biggest hug from me.

wow... this was probably the last thing i expected to see when i logged on here today and im still finding it a bit hard to beleive. james certainly was a character... although i wasnt that close to him, all the memories i have of him are fond ones, usually involving everyone around him sharing laughs and good times.

R.I.P. James

Goodbye bro 

Damn thats harsh.

 

your a cunt james. missin ya "like the desert misses the rain" - goodbye mate

 

Condolences to his family, his kru & Rosie.

James, I love you so much through the good and the bad and my life has been changed forever. Nothing I can write will explain how I am feeling..

Big up everyone that came down yesterday..my thoughts are with everyone...Grimes and Timmy I love you guys too.

 anyone need anything today let me know I am at home..

RIP Lames xx

Dear James,

Im so angry at you at for not respecting your life as much as the people who loved you did. You have taught me one of my largest and hardest lessons in life, 'to be what you believe', and i know you wanted so much more than this.

The 'M' stands for we'll Miss you. I love you James. You'll always be in my heart. And it will be hard for you not to be in our heads.

My heart goes out to Rosie, James's family, and all his close friends. Ryan and Kirsty. Im so sorry.

All the close boyz and girls, yesterday was an awesome demonstration of alot of close friends pulling together to support each other, dont forget that thats there. Lots of love.

shattered. words can't explain how i'm feeling right now. feel so sorry for his family and friends. one of the best guys i have and will ever get the pleasure of knowing. will miss ya mate.

JamesM all you ever did was pay me out and give me an absolute ear full but thats what everyone loved you for.

Huge condolences going out to friends and family.




My thoughts are always with Grimes & Phunkii

James you were one of a kind, larger than life. The nicest, most loving, yet cuntiest person I have ever met.
I am going to miss you so much, you were so special to me and to everyone else around you. You were always the comedian and the most quick witted person I have ever met, and always knew how to have a good time and how to make people laugh.
You were always there for me when I needed you, and put me in my place whenever I needed it. I will love you and miss you forever. You are irraplacable, and there will never be another 'M'.
I have a million and one great memories of our good times, and I am a better person having had you in my life. My heart goes out to Grimes and both their families.

I hope this a wake up call to people

I love you James, you will be missed

This is fucked up.
So glad that everyone was together yesterday though.
The only positive (if there is one) through all of this, I hope, is a huge wake up call.

Take care James

Ok I dont how to go about this...
 
James Aunty has posted James Mums number on her myspace... http://www.myspace.com/291259062 She just emailed me saying she would like any friends to contact his mum and send there love...

If anyone would like to send the family well wishes please do so... I still cant get over this...

All the close boyz and girls, yesterday was an awesome demonstration of alot of close friends pulling together to support each other, dont forget that thats there. Lots of love.

always an energetic and honest bloke - i think you will best be remembered for what you brought a lot of people... laughter. one of the first things i remember whenever i think of you is you pretending to be a sperm in Alana's backyard. your laughter will carry with everybody who thinks of you James.

*does M raving arm*

RIP

I am still lost for words which can adequately express my thoughts and feelings about this tragedy.

James M, I will miss you.

My love goes to all who have been touched (and to those who havent had the priviledge to meet James) -by his beautiful/kaotic mind and soul.

Thanks for the laughter James M  

i never met james but my condolences to all of you who knew him.

perhaps a tribute mix of his favourite tunes is in order?

RIP James...

a truely unique character who will be missed by SO many people.. this ones not gonna sink in for a while..

thanks for all the good memories mate!

Could a party be organised so we can all say good bye the ways james would have wanted? maybe the money made can go to his family to help with funeral costs? Daniel, Blake or Dale? 

I think thats an great idea, I raised the topic at his drinks yesterday at the austral. Thats the way he would have wanted it.

On a special memoir to James 'it ain't easy being green'

Yes I think a collection would be in good order for the family, if someone who knew the family could help organise it? I dont know if I am in the mood for a party, but I would like to donate and help somehow

'it ain't easy being green'

I think a contribution would be great. Count me in. I would also love to see some tribute mixes, imagine that - ranging from nrg/hardhouse to techno to dnb to hiphop

thanks for the good times and memories mate.
the last few years sure were pretty sweet, never a dull moment when me and him were around each other thats for sure.
probably fair to say he was one of the most unique characters ive ever met and will be sorely missed by me, by his friends, and his family.

so glad i had the pleasure of being part of his life.

i still dont even think this has sunken in yet

damn this sucks.

It's still not sinking in...

Man I am gonmna miss that character.

Fuck this sucks.

So devo'd.

This is just fuckin tragic... I thought he was one of those guys who was just invincible.

I can still remember the first words I ever heard come out of his mouth and in true M style they were "I HOPE YOUR MUM DIES OF OVARIAN CANCER YOU CUNT!", I don't think I've ever laughed harder in my life. Truly one of the funniest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I didn't get to see him that often, but when I did there was never a dull moment...

Condolences to his family and those closest too him, I know he will be missed terribly.

RIP Mate, truly an absolute champion. 

 

my heads still spinning trying to get to grips with this tragic loss of a life.

i didnt get to spend as much time chewing the fat with him lately as many of you did, but we had been known to 'laugh our cunts off' together~ the outdoor roots party and all that night involved will never be forgotten.

funny, funny guy. sad sad shitty fucking day.

we only shared a few brief encounters but i could tell he was a special guy. you are going to be missed bro.

RIP James M    peace

R.I.P. James 

My condolances to all those who have been hurt by this terrible tragedy especially James's family and Rosie.

James was one of the first people I ever partied with over 10 years ago and his happy spirit has touched so many. It sux to lose a fellow Adelaidian so young.

Respect

OMFG!!!!

Rest in peace mate.

 

From James's Aunty Carol:

I really hope all of Jamies friends will heed a lesson from this, please dont let his death be in vain - if you or anyone you know are partying too hard, and you all know what I mean by that, then please talk to someone, get help ------
We all have done things, and some are still doing things, we are NOT as invincible as we think we are ----------------
Think about it, and if not for your own sake, do it for James, your parents, your family and friends, the ones that are left behind are those who suffer the most -----------

Wise words.

Guidance and light bredrin, I'll miss you.

Oh fuck. Just found out about this. Man what the fuck.

 

rest in peace man.

still hasn't quite hit home for me.

Reading everyone's comments, love and memories is beautiful.

James, fuck man, we all loved you. You've touched so many souls in your time with us, and we are all truly blessed to have had you in our lives, even if just for a short while.

We'll never forget you, or your crazy antics.

Much love, RIP mate.

Condolences to his family, his kru & Rosie.

 

 

R.I.P James M

The M stands for gone but never forgotten

Deepest sympathies to all

Only the good die young. Such a shame. My condolences go out to those who loved him.

Big up ya Cunt. Hope ya rockin' it on the other side 

I knew JamesM through Rave Adelaide and his legendary status he had on the board
But first met him at Oktoberfest at the German club 2 years ago the same night I met a lot of his close friends.
Shouted him a couple Jäger shots, he was much the life of the party then as whenever I seen him out.
No one could ever replace the M

Thoughts go out to his family and friends

Larger than life itself. I'm still in shock.

Will miss you mate

 The M ' 6.5/10 for looks, 10/10 for personality'

 My thoughts are with those that were truly close to James.

 I am proud to say James was a mate of mine. Shared many a good time just dribbling codshit at Labrina on a sunday. Had a ball watching the Boxing Day test last year, going off when Warnie got his 700th wicket. The 'A' team BBQ was gold, 2 days of partying on the Australia Day weekend oh and Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking lol. (for those that know) .

 He was the first person to call you out on something, but you would want him in the trenches next to you. Was always a great time when The M was around.

 Still coming to terms with it, today is tough.

 He will be missed by many and remembered by all.

 *high five*

Thank you for those words...I understand where you are coming from, my heart goes out to James' family, and I hope that people listen to you and others that have posted similar messages.

Please think about who you might leave behind -and how it will break their hearts- like mine, and many others are breaking now. Please be careful my friends and respect your lives. And yes I will take my own advice.

Love to my friends on here.
Hayley

I'm on radio tonight and was thinking on doing a show in memory tonight for him...

Any tunes tunes you know James loved dnb wise let me know...

we will rock it out for ya M so you can hear it over the air waves...

Its such a blessing that we are a true community who bands together during these times... It truly is a reflection of how we care for another...

My love to you all...

What time are you on? 9pm?

i can't read this thread yet. so i'll get back to it a little bit later.

james, you were truly one of a kind mate. smart, funny, loyal, trustworthy and all in all one of the greatest mates we've had the pleasure to have known.

will finish it up more later. have had so many good times with you over the last 5 or so years mate.

words just don't comprehend how much we will miss you. you will always be in our hearts and thoughts.

you were an absolute legend and one of the best.

love chris and ali.

I think this will truly hit home with me come Friday night when I dont get the weekly message from M, asking what we're doing tonight.

I can't even remember the last weekend we didn't catch up and do something.

I think thats an great idea, I raised the topic at his drinks yesterday at the austral. Thats the way he would have wanted it.

On a special memoir to James 'it ain't easy being green'

pratty should be the one to throw it. he knew him so bloody well.

this is just so fucked.

didn't really hit home till i started to type before.

josh. spot on. gonna be so quiet without him.

will miss u james ....

respekt

nice little message from his dad in todays paper..

RIP James... i never got the pleasure of meeting him, but i can tell that he was a big part of many of my friends lives, and he has left an everlasting impression on the Adelaide music scene.

 

RIP James... the brightest shining star, always ready with a huge hug, massive grin, so much passion & loyalty  for his friends, so stupidly intelligent, so witty   ... I am so blessed to have known someone like you.

I am so happy that I got to have massive last hugs with you over the weekend, will remember always your words " I heart you Greatalie"  . You are forever etched in my heart James, and I'll never forget your cheeky grin which is a good thing  as when I see you again one day in Heaven I am going to freakin' smash ya.

My thoughts are with his family, Rosie, and all his friends especially Quazz, Lisa, Subbo, Ryan, Josh, Drifty, Chris, Lauren and all other members of the A-Team

I can't believe that you are gone.

 

A-Team  you all know who you are!

I can't read this thread properly either yet..

 


Will see some of ya tonight A-team   

Ugh

Words can't express how much I miss you at the moment James. To have one more second with you and tell you what a fantastic friend you have been to me.. I would give anything. To feel the warmth of your enormous arms hugging me again. I feel like a large piece of me has been taken away and cannot be replaced. You are so much a part of who I am today. You taught me so many things over the last six years - respect, love, friendship, to stand up for myself, to stand up for my friends, taste for food (lol), to be less judgemental, calmness, anger, humour and most of all belly laughter. I looked up to you more than you'll ever know and you have shaped who I am today. Your strong sense of what is right and what is wrong - I'll never forget that. Your values & morals - the M I know - is how I want to live my life. You have such passion, commitment & dedication to anything you set your mind to. I loved that most about you. I am so lucky to have grown with you James. To watch the beautiful sensitive side come out more and more over these last few years. It is an honour. I have never had a friend love me as much as you did. Even though we didn't see each other much the last few months, I want you to know you were always in my mind and will remain forever in my thoughts. I love you.

Goodbye my beautiful soul friend.

James, In true raver style I can't actually remember the first time we met. I reckon around 2002 at the time we were all getting along to the Aussie Pizza house on Wednesday nights to talk shit and relive the weekends..

One of the original crew I partied with

Always had a lot of respect for your fine ability to dish out some mad zings both online and in person. Always a larger than life character and  great fun to be around.

Honoured to share a name with you mate... RIP

I can remember the exact moment I met James and that is because he bounded up to me at the Shores one day (one of Dales parties) and introduced himself with a hug and smile and from that day everytime I saw him out he treated me as a mate. What an amazingly friendly and likeable person. An incredibly funny guy that I wish I had gotten to know better. I know thru hearing many stories about him that he was a loyal, honest, funny and important friend to so many people and that he will be missed greatly.

I  will only get there at 11 if anyone is even still awake at that time?!

This breaks my heart reading the forums, thought I was coping but its hard when you read all his friends comments etc.

James you fucker, your gonna be missed by all.

I believe in what James Aunty Carol wrote, there are so many people you leave behind and have to deal with things so please be careful and safe.

jennie

i hate to ask at such a shitty time but does anyone know if funeral arrangements have been made yet?

Not for a while yet..

The best word i can find to describe The M is 'wirlwind'. Every time i saw him it was like 'BAM here i am, now laugh as hard as you can' then wham he would be gone.

You always hear people talking about living every day like its your last and make the most of your life. He truly truly kicked life's ass! Nothing was ever going to get in this boys way of having a blast.

He taught us all a very important lesson! Dont hesitate, be who you are and fuck anyone that tries to bring you down!

peace out M!

Your a bloody legend!!!!!

xxx xxx xxx

only got a few seconds into that you tube clip before i had to turn it off..

 The last pic owned me.

 

So... this is what I posted on his myspace. Words have escaped me for the past few days.

Dear James,

Every time I try to write something I get all choked up... so I just went back over all our comments to one another and had a right giggle.
I loved your blogs, your Neighbours updates, your huge smile and kind heart.
I am sad that you will never laugh at another stupid picture I post for you from TFD ever again.
I'm so glad I got to see you on the weekend, to see how happy you were with yourself and with Rosie, to hear how much you cherished your best mates... and thank you for the compliment =)
I hope you're ok, wherever you are.

Much love
xxx

I don't know how- but I am beginning to feel really strongly that we all need to find a way to come together and celebrate James's life once we've had some time to process our grief. I know Laura and a few other were suggesting like a Xmas party where a door charge can go to his family or something like that. I just want whoever might read this to know that I'll give freely of my time for anything like this. I can't get this out of my head and I need to find a way to spin this tragedy into something positive.

i wish we still had the old board.  they were fucking gold.  go James!

 Dale something like we did for Ant would be cool, in a couple of months time

 It was at Traffic, everyone gave money and it went to Ants family.

I loved reading them, even though I didn't like the show... they were so funny!

Ok well, ive avoided this thread like the plague. Not gonna sit here and read through all the pages(just cant yet) but would like to say a couple of very quick things

 thank u to everyone for their constant love and support. Its truely blown me away


theres so much i could say about James, but im not going to, not now, not yet. I think one simple sentence sums it all up good enough for now....

I Love You James xo

You knew me better than I knew myself, and I'll always remember all the times we danced with the one finger in the air. I took you to your first dnb party after fighting with you for months because you thought I turfed you for another group. Look what happened after that!
I will miss your antics. I cant read through this thread yet, but I love you cunt.

image not archived: 244838870RL053302095.jpg

Yeah that's exactly the kind of thing we need but you're right, it's going to have to be down the line when everyone has processed their grief etc. It's not something I'd feel particularly qualified to do alone given there are so many people closer to him but I'd certainly want to pitch in. For me it's like a way to spend one last night with him or something, as silly as that may sound.

James, Mr M, Mr Green DC ( U ,main stage @ the shores and Da Green DC- T that was the first M moment 4 me)

The essence of the M could never be forgotten
For your quotes and antics we will forever be rockin
Now the beatz will be bangin in that big arena in the sky
Cause from this day forward there being rinsed out by one hella of a guy

James thank you for the laughs and the moments i know they were few, but we luved every minute mass respect.

Our thoughts go out to his family, his girl and his kru i'm sure he's up there now watchin over all of you.

To our 3 angels that watch from above Benito,Nik & Chants show this man some luv xx

R.I.P James 

much luv Bek & Tristan

fwiw guys, I had a chat with Motion about this at work the other day and he was really shattered to hear this news. Although he wasnt in Aus that long he remembers James and Ryan really well, and said he's quite fond of both of them. Motion asked me to pass on my best to everyone, said to say he feels awful about it all, and he really cannot believe it.

I've got so many thoughts going around in my head that it must be time to put some of them down..

James, I remember the first day I met you. It was outdoor Roots and Lucy and Andy told me we were driving down there with Lucy's friend James M. We picked you up and drove down there and you and I hit it off straight away..You told me in the car "You look good in green" and later told me you were sneaking little looks at me the whole way there..
We became so close that we talked every day, 50 times a day, you helped me through hard times by constantly telling me how special I was, and what a great person YOU thought I was. We sometimes just emailed each other animal noises for fun.

We were so close it made us fight, we both have tempers too. But you were often right in your perceptions of me...and taught me a  lot about myself over the last 2 or 3 years.

You told me you loved me more often than any other friend and would put it in a text to me almost every time I left you. You made me feel loved.

You are one of a kind and I loved you so much more than I thought it was possible to love someone who is not a boyfriend or a relative if that makes any sense. I still love you...for your smile, your humour, your sense of love and loyalty, your strength and your honesty.

I am so lucky to have known you.

Goodbye my James, will say my proper good byes soon.
Oh and I will keep the Towers Morgan Alliance alive in my head...haha one day it would have happened.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

while we weren't particuarly close to each other in the last few years, we would always greet each other with a warm smile and a hearty handshake, like so many have said he was someone who had time for everyone he knew.

i remember when were working together, and first starting to head out to the more non-mainstream nightspots (once accompanied him to NYB&G with some workmates.. what a funny night) we were both planning on an outing to the same event, Frantic up in the hills. he wanted to see glazby and i was going to see aphrodite on my birthday.. how the worm had turned more recently 

when i first added him to MSN his name was "James mORGAN - Little m big organ".. cant even begin to think about all the golden moments and comments that boy had come out with.. 

mad respect. 

It was requested last Monday that I organise Mojo's for after the funeral as its pretty central and familiar to many and obviously cos James not just being a close mate but has followed and supported me from club to club over the years and was part and parcel in his own unique way of each venue that ive been involved in. Ive started sorting something out and We will have a closed session for all of James's friends and famliy if they would like to attend. In regards to a yearly night where we can all get together we will sort something, but at the moment I think we just need to continue to go through the process and do the best we can. Share a tear. Share a hug but also share a laugh as laughter was one of James's biggest strengths and was a master of creating it.




Id also like to say thank you all so much last night for showing James, his friends and his family respect in regards to spending a moment silence on both the main stage and the DnB stage at enchanted. Maestro D for making such a touching speech on our behalf on the main stage and Patch on the DnB stage. Its was staggering to see that a whole dance floor at one of the longest and biggest SA out door events completely stopped whether the crew in the crowd knew of James or not. It was a beautiful gesture. No doubt James would have been yelling from above "yeah you know it fags. The M stopped the main stage and my own minute silence ha!"

While over on the DnB stage it was more "Yeah what ever. Get on with it. I just wanna hear Patchy's 3 deck set BOH BOH BOH" Then when Patchy dropped the oars all I could picture was James yelling at the top of his lungs and dancing round like a sweaty fool. I wont lie to you. Thats when I walked of in tears and headed home. Sorry Noddy hope you got that lift home. If not I'll cruise up now and get you 

Thank you to all that asked how I was last night and im sorry if I seemed a bit vague or blunt at times but things got harder as the day progressed.

Big ups to my immediate support crew last night Quazza and Lauren who started the day with me and didnt leave each others side all night. We must have looked pretty funny when one of the hardest parts of last night came around for us being the Quazza Vs Subbo Vs cheeks hoover set came about. All of us plus Lauren all jammed in a 1 meter x 1 meter space behind the stage balling and carrying on every time one of the guys finished their mix and walked off the stage. We were a right old mess but lifted each other up each time we fell as we all have been doing all week.

  

does anyone know if there have been any funeral dates/times/arrangements made yet?

Looking at a tentative date of Friday the 14th of December at 10.30am at Centenial Park, in the main building.

Somethings need to be finalised first which is why it is a tentative date, however there will be a Funeral notice in the paper, so keep an eye out for it.

James,

Our love for you gave The A-Team members the strength to see this weekend through.
The memories of the good times we all shared will never be forgotten.
We are forever grateful for the way in which you touched our lives.
I for one will never be able to thank you enough for everything.

Love and light,
LD

bloody missed you last weekend buddy.

image not archived: james2wr8.gif

That is great Sal

Well, its monday. I have to say today sucked. Everyday that passes makes me realise more and more that life is so fragile, one day you are hear then the next you are not. I still have fleeting moments of *it cant be real, because logically in my head it doesnt make sense. Everytime i think, *there will be no last of time* of so many things it makes my heart hurt. I miss you Lames.

I cant wait until Friday so that we can all feel close to you again. xx

In honour of our friend...

 

Asshole

 

As a moderator and a friend to some of those who are hurting a lot at the moment... I believe this thread should be dedicated to honouring the memory of James.

This is a thread for people to come and pay their respects to James, to express grief and to help others through it. Negative conjecture is inappropriate and I think it's extremely insensitive. The only person who is qualified, or even has the right to make any kind of statement about James' view of himself is James.

I would like to urge everyone to use common sense when posting in this thread. Please keep in mind that many of James' closest friends read this thread and they are grieving. It is not the time and this is not the place.

Please continue to share your memories of James and keep the good times alive.

This is F*#$N Awesome, he did have a signature pose, one we should all carry with us forever!!
I laugh when I see this, cause I can just imagine him doing it right now!!!

MWAH JEN

The 'M' stands for Mackin

The M stands for mpasty white skin next to the tanned chickies.

(The M is silent)

That's what I was thinking, haha.

also, that gif is awesome sal. great work.

LMAO oh so true, pasty indeed!!
Mwah!! jen

Jennie you need to get your own user name! 
bahaha 

Let's keep this thread on topic 

To the beautiful James,

I can't believe you are gone babe I just cant. You were such an awesome friend and always so much fun to be around and always put the biggest cheesiest smile on my face. Hope you are gettin all the free beer you can drink up there mate - I know you'll be the life of the party. Just don't know what to say. Fuckin love you mate.

My heart goes out to his family and everyone who knew him whether it was just meeting him once or knowing him for years and years. Everyone who knew James was definately touched and moved by what a beautiful person he was, how could you not have been.

RIP James - will always love you.xoxoxoxox

 

i dont think i've read one inappropriate or negative thing on here about james. i may be wrong. 
everyone had there own different type of relationship with him.
i myself loved to hate him and he'd know exactly what i was talking about.
thats excellent pratty what your doing and hearing about enchanted brought a tear to my eye.
i dont think theres much more i want to say in this thread.
you were awesome, a cunt, a funny cunt, and a bloody good friend that looked after me and especially my girl for a long time and wont be a day that goes by that we both wont be thinking about you.

i love you james. respect.

 That was rough.

 Great ceremony though, represented James thoroughly. Lot's of touching moments and laughs.

 His dad was awesome- respect. The big up was classic.
 
 Much love to everyone today.

 Goodbye mate!

 

 

 
 

what he said!

very special send off, his dad did a fucking fantastic job, and to see the smile on his mums face afterwards was really really good.

very touching.

RIP james.

 

ouch that hurt

was good to catch so many good crew who loved james so much
such a waste of a good life, but such a personal send off

big ups man, you had us all there

Such an appropriate sendoff!

Nice work everyone!

very moving very fitting such a great send off
bigs ups to all the love and people that sowed their support
we will remember you always james m 

  *Ugghh* I miss you James. *sigh*

Totally not coping today 

*Hugs and more hugs*

:/

 I was talking to Sal last night about weekend plans and automatically included James with the people coming over for the BBQ. Only just stopped myself saying it .

 

 

I posted a comment that was taken very harshly by a few people, and I now see how insensitive it was.

I have made a few personal apologies but I think a blanket one is in order too.

For those that know me I am not one to think before I talk, and this tends to be more evident at times like these. In no way was I trying to be mean, insensitive, etc. I was trying to express a point and my typing fingers went a little bit too far without my brain butting in.

What I was trying to say, is that James was a really great guy, and meant so much to many people. Unfortunately I couldn't see that until it was too late. I feel like a grade A fool, and it really cut me that I couldn't make it to his funeral and pay the bloke the respect he deserves.

Also, I have been in hiding and let close friends of James support eachother, because I knew from the get go that I was more than likely to say something that would offend people.

I am sorry for what I did and hope that you can see I meant no harm or malice, but was essentially trying to give James a big high five, and forgive me, like me and James had done with eachother in the past.

You will be sorely missed mate. Big up and maximum respect.

that was very well put mate. he wouldn't of held a grudge anyway. just not like that. the only grudge he knew of was a place to park his car.

dreamt about james last night. was very weird seeing as i don't usually dream at all.

woke up in a sweat and had to get up.

miss you buddy.

xx

 

After listening to his dad, I don't even think he knew of that due to his car.

yeah tell me about it. That group sms i sent out, i sent to James. It was different though, normally i forget and then think "fuck, thats right" This time though, just felt he should know bout it


go fucken figure

Gosh James that massive place in my heart that's all full of M is feeling pretty damm lonely right now.
haven't been able to put down in words anywhere how I'm feeling cause there simply just aren't words.
i love you
i miss you
thankyou

xxxxxxx

 

As everyone else has said, great speech by his dad...just when i'd feel myself startin to get a lil teary, he'd say something to make me laugh again....

RIP James

 

i did the same thing last week.

Respect for the pics and lil note about James in the 24/7. Nice one

me three 

I had a weird dream about James last night. Can't really remember it, but it was odd and I woke up disturbed.

It's strange because that was probably only the 3rd or 4th time I've dreamt of James anyway...

James, please say it ain't so
I don't think it's going to sink in, hey...
How can someone so full of life & wonderfulness just be there... and then not...?

I will miss you forever Mister M

Whats that?

24/7 Magazine is Blake & Noddy's magazine.

Just Blakes mag.

*sigh* :/


still too hard to comprehend.

*heart* xx

tomorrow will be the first christmas night in about 3 i won't be spending with you mate. gonna be a quiet night.

Merry fuckin Xmas mate

I miss you M

RIP mate

Seconded. God I miss you so much.

Merry Christmas gorgeous Man.. Love you.

James, you ruined Christmas !
Or at least put a little bit of a dampner on it, only because we all miss you like buggery.
My heart and thoughts are with your family

Definately. Merry Xmas James. i love you.

99%

We all missed you a lot last night

I've always wondered who wrote that haha

Dear James,

I have no idea why that Alicia Keys song makes me think of you so much but it always does. It is so lame too.. "
you and i together until the end of time, I don't worry cos everything's gonna be alright" LOL
 I love you and I miss you.
I will especially miss your hugs and your fun tomorrow! But it is OK Will do some stupid dancing for ya.

Hayley
xxxxxxx

We all rocked it to the Funkoars for you last night x

I just found this on YouTube while looking at a clip from Summer Break...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwxRk5voZVE

Sorry if its a repost.

I miss you so incredibly much my body physically aches James. 2008 is my year to take the lessons you've taught me and put them into practice. I love you with every last piece of me. Thinking of you a lot tonight.

Lucy xx

Happy new years James where ever you are. I know youll be there with ya mates in the back ground, laughing, cheering and sharing that special bond that only true friends can create. Keep an eye over the crew for us tonight and I'll see you in my dreams soon.

Miss you heaps mate.



Everyone stay safe tonight please.

i need a james hug bad 

was much quieter without you mate.

badly missed.

Every time i look at this thread, i can see how blown away you'd be, i certainly could never anticipate seeing your name and RIP together, VIP yes, COTY yes of course! But not RIP. Not one day passes where you arent thought about, actually not many minutes pass before you pop back into my head.

The festive season hasnt been so festive, but thank you for bringing everyone together, and thank you for putting life in perspective, you've certainly changed mine.

xx Thinking about you xx

theres too much death goin on in my family. im sick of if. james i miss ya mate.

hugs to u mister

sjkbasdjkqjkdbkjqwdbkjwdbqwjkedbwbjkedkasjxnaksdhwidh skdfhwkehfwhndkwnd ksdnkwnedkwednwknedkn



right now thats all i got mate

xo

yep...thats about where im at...

xox

What he said, x eleventy billion.

had such a nice dream about you last night babe, really felt like i got to see you again.

James, I miss you so much...even more so right now.


Love you.

xox

I know you've been by my side all day today James. I am absolutely amazed at the strength I've seen in myself and it has been your little voice in my head getting me through. "I love you schmoocy"

I love you M 

 When I saw the wrestling today on tv I remembered a few months back when James came over to watch pay-per-view Wrestlemania with Weez cos they were both unemployed.

 I made burritos.

 Good times.

we drank a load of wine and watched the undertaker win an epic battle- agreed good times indeed 




n.b- the burritos were good too.

so strange, I was emailing someone at work today and i got mega de-ja-vu out about our old emailathons we used to have. Like really took me aback for a minute there. Bloody James! *sighs*

Jaaaaaaaaames.

 I will never forget the day James rocked up at my old place about 2pm looking for the party, when it was all happening at labrina and I was just watching TV by myself lol.

 He was, how do I put this, pretty confused about what was happening at that point. Took me a while to explain it to him.

 "Are you sure they aren't here?"

 

 
 
 

Bawahahaha

good good times.

Dont know how to feel today.


found out his close friends are (or have) scattering his ashes....


Soooooo want to be there.

Has been sooo fucking hard being over here in London, not having an opportunity to say goodbye properly.


My heart goes out to all my beautiful friends on what must be a very powerful day.

 



R~!1



can someone please please please PM me the spot they were scattered so that i can visit when i return.

  to you toby

Yes, much love & hugs to all those that were at the sports ground tonight 

Fuck that was hard. James, I miss you more than ever baby

I need an M hug

Ditto.

big hugs to all you guys. xoxo

*nods* u guys are showing his memory so much respect and not forgetting for a moment the sort of person he was, good n bad. so much kudos to you all for doing that, its hard but it means so much!!

thinking of u all

i should be home.
seeya james. we'll be at the park having a kick when we come home

Yar, it still doesnt sit right hey.

*hugs for you gorgeous*

 

I wish I could have been there too

Thanks to all for keeping me informed and stuff though, love you guys 

Toby and Jules  I'll speak to you soon! xox

Miss you James so much that my heart still aches like it was yesterday  no crying at the new job though so toughen up Gayley 

 
 Massive respect to all those that were there.

 I know it would have been extremely tough, but before I knew where it was happening I already assumed it would be the oval. Very appropriate.

 Big up JamesM. Never to be forgotten matey.

 Fuck you were a funny bastard.

 

so spewing i didn't find out about it till last about 7 last night. would have been there without question otherwise.


never mind mate. you know you how much i loved you. that will never change. still don't think i've quite come to terms with it all yet though.

forever in ali and my thoughts mate.

Last night I got to see where you grew up and I also got to meet your father.
It made me think of you even more and how much I miss you.

Love you M

same 

we should all go down there for some beers some time soon

you had me at go down mate 

 I'll bring the footy

Same. Really gutted I wasn't able to be there.

This week has brought about so much miraculous change James. Seeing your Dad is like being around you all over again "and that was my beetle story" 

I could so use your support right now, but i know we all have your strength in our hearts, your realness in our more grounded approach to life and your wise words in our minds. The self reflection you have offered in each and everyone of your relationships is an offering to huge growth and healing. I am ready to accept that gift now and i thank you with all of my heart for it. I am so so so grateful for having been blessed by your life with painful yet totally needed lessons and the huge amount of love you had to offer. And there is enough to go around. You continue to teach me everyday.

Through the bullshit we keep it real, lets say it how it is, live with enough compassion and empathy to fill everyones hearts, have enough self confidence and self belief to know who we are, what we do and what we have to offer. To give so much love in every hug we give that it encompasses each and every person we touch you many years to come. To make every person we meet feel like they are the most important person in the world at that very second, and respect people enough to give them our full attention so they know they are worth your time and affection.

... I have faith in us, i have in you, and i have faith in everyone that you touched and loved, my heart remains open forever filled with gratitude and love... Thank you

 "Give me that soul connection..... never give up on love"

ill see you at the oval when when ever i need to be with you, and ill talk to you when ever i need to hear you, and ill sit with you when ever i need feel you.

It kind of feels like bullshit when I articulate it, but you leaving has made me think of my friends back in Adelaide, and those overseas, much more than I ever thought I would have.

I thought I would have gotten over most of those ugly cunts by now, but instead, I even think of people I was never really close to, much much more than I ever thought I would.

I guess I have to thank you for that, and I do thank you.

But I'd rather have figured that out on my own and in my own time, and have you still kicking on spreading the M in whatever form that would have come in, rather than have my friends feeling so much pain for losing you.

I know exactly how you feel You articulated it well. Just as James would have liked

definitely sold on that idea mate!

We can have a picnic 

 Picnic
 
 BBQ 

 

What ever you still have your masculine BEERS, you will be fine!! It'd have to be on a footy free day though... Australia Day *edit thats a double BBQ booking* :/

What does everyone think?

I think it should be Feb 16th for obvious reasons..perhaps another one then

I agree

australia day is completely out of the question for me and ali. 

already got the hottest 100 to contend with without him as is. going to be a lot more somber this year.

why don't we make it a sunday afternoon or something?

That was sort of the point hey, James loved Aust day party times. It's a celebration of the good times, his Dad wants the Oval to be a place of reMemberance and celebration.

 

But upto everyone to make some more suggestions. Im down for whatever!!

on my way there now with Pratty and a pizza.


wow that'd be heaps faggy if James wasn't there

 

Tell Lames I say hello.

xo

*cough cough* cricket *cough cough*

 Just changed the title of the thread, any objections?

yep. i see your point. my point though is that he'd normally be at our place listening to the hottest 100 with us. not at his old footy club. it's going to be a really strange day for us all as is. really miss not talking to him about the music we love.


this is also the other issue i have. it's the first day of the australia day test. pretty sure everyone will want to at least be near a tv screen for it. and we have a big one.

we are having a bbq and beers day for both on saturday. usual suspects are invited of course.

i just invited james.

you've got no choice now guys.

Did you have to?

You know what his Andy C track record is like. He's just gonna start getting all sketchy on us come Saturday night.

it wouldn't be australia day without it!

i love the new thread title, cant express enough how much i hate the term R.I.P.

a minute doesnt go by that i'm not thinking about you james, my heart hurts so much at the moment, i need you. love you xox

I would rather (and I'm sure James would feel the same) that the thread was more like The Man, The Legend, The Cunt!

 

Looking forward to this weekend 

  

 Remembering back to last Australia Day weekend has me pretty sad today.
 
 So much gold.

 Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 Fucking cumming

 

would have been nice for someone to let us know. only just found out by reading this...bit annoyed actually considering. oh well. were going there on the 3rd for obvious reasons.
laura and i will swing by on the saturday for a bit chris.

awesome mate.

It was (M)organised ( ) by his family hun.. I'm sure everyone would have known about it, if one of us had arranged it..

Don't be annoyed.. At least we can all go see him anytime we want...

what she said

last years Australia day, pretty much the whole weekend summed up in one pic.......
image not archived: heavyweight055rg2.jpg

Im sort of glad i was in Asia, NOT!!!! Boy did i get some gold text meesages that day!! 

haha yeah i got some funny pics from that day too

 Put the mouse back in the house Quazz!

Australia Day 2007 = One of it not the best weekends ever

good times, great people!

Never!



fkn funny pic

Im there

great picture

fuck i forgot about that tiara.

fuk yeah great weekend!  get the queens tiara off damn you

James's dad at the oval was fucking gold. He was on about the cockies on the oval and how they eat the bugs. Then he pauses, we're all silent and he goes "well thats my bug story anyway" 


After being at the oval the other day and having a quiet but intimate dinner with Quazz it was confirmed to me yet again how important he is to me as a mate and that friends and family should always be held in the highest regard and put before anything else. I feel ive always tried to follow this anyhoo but theres always room to improve.

If you do think I need to improve then chances are its just that you dont fit into my friends or family category and theres a good chance I dont like you. 

yeah i know. probably put it the wrong way. was more dissapointed i guess. would have been goood to see some kru, his family and just be there at any rate. didnt mean anything by it. 
jeez he'd be squirting himself about a thread about him. not under these circumstances though.

 

Ken fucking OATH!!!

Oh and I forgot dogs as well. Dogs are people. I love dogs.

Just to look at the photo a little closer, im a little confused, what is that double shadow in the door reflection and is Ryan going to exit through the wrong side of the sliding door or is he standing behind the window?

It's a ghost!!!! 


Love you lames 

double shadow is grimes. the light is behind him. and no, the door has always opened from that side too. could also be the old tarp behind him.

funny girl.

Gees I dunno. The angle of the arm on the shadow and the shape of the head is different to Ryan. Shadows are usually black not colour. Also you cant have a reflection on air!

You can also see noddy through the glass as well without a reflection.

Either way get to bed both of you 

yeah no way is that reflection grimes

its definitely grimes' aura tho. cool. i love it when cameras go crazy when u take pics!

So I was sitting in my car about 30 minutes ago having a leisurely bong when a d&b track rolled round on the old stereo and for some reason this made me think of James. I don't know why it's only just happened now, but it dawned on me that I'll never get the chance to know him like some of you guys on this board did. 

I can't even remember the last time a tear rolled out of either of my eyes but you fuckin managed to get at least one out of each... (no homo)

Happy Australia Day Mate!

Seriously, my best wishes go out to all of those who are missing him hard, as I know this day was such a special one for you and him.

Have a good one cunts and cuntettes!

 

Happy Australia Day mate. This was one day where u always truly shone. Will be thinking of u all day

xo

Happy Aussie Day M pants

Love you sweetheart x

Happy Australia Day mate.

You were one of the proudest Australiams I knew.

Will find my phone to PC cable and chuck it up here for sure.

Beautiful.... Ahhhhh  *lost for words*

That one with Quazza just made me cry.

Dear James,

Really lost it when this came in number one, especially by just 13 votes

It is a bit eerie...especially the 13 votes thing...

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 


That was for you James 

yeah, closest number 1 voting in history!

rocked it at the big day out M style for you babe xoxo

Be true to your self. Be honest. Be loyal.

Thanks James it is knowing that i carry on these qualities in your memory and that you are keeping me in check, that gives me strength right now.

I love you.

Well. After the most messed up week I think I have had in a very long time, it hurt most of all that you were the person I wanted to talk and confide in most. I feel alot of regret and far to many other emotions to put into words, and I miss you mother fucker.
You would have loved Dielsel Boy Australia day, confirmed my Diesel boy x Andy C argument we always held (shut up Josh). We all went back to Ali and chris's house and celebrated Aussie day in style, there are many dodgy photos on the internet thats you would have laughed at. You would have peed your pants that muse got number 1 in the hottest 100 :o)
I had a massive cry today that you are gone. But I realised that even though your life was short, the things you did for the people around you will last a life time. The courage and strength you showed me and made me realise I had within myself will last for a life time. I am so happy I had you in my life for so long, the memories will be forever engraved in my heart.
Two months have passed, but it feels like two years. You made me realise that I need to appreciate the wonderful friends and love I have surrounding me, and not to sink into my own problems and start having fun again.
I love you from the bottom of my heart and soul, and will always carry you in my mind and in my heart. Six years of being so close to the 'M' will never be enough, but just thinking of how we got stuck on the water bed with that weird guy reading us poetry and had to sms for an sos will always make me smile.

To the M
Stronger, Faster, Better

again, you were a very noticable absence on friday mate. just couldn't enjoy myself like i normally would have.

i just haven't had any energy since you've gone.

thinking of you buddy.

Weird

Got a call from Pratty, who was down at the Oval again. "No shit, u can see the line all of a sudden again" Wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't gone down and checked it out myself. U can dead set see the line clear as day where James was spread

Really? might head down on the weekend 

Wow, after seeing the photo, seems james is really leaving his mark!!!!

once a week i receive an email newsletter from monster.co.uk called The M Word, reminds me of james a lot... although it is a bit dissapointing that none of their M words have silent Ms in them.

Hopefully its still there when I go there tommorow morning before work.

Wait for me James

reckon it will be. If ya see it, add to the little hole me and Pratty have started

Definitely will be mate. line up the post with the tree and then the change rooms with the parked car along with the dog and youll see it 

Nah youll see it mate. Its wierd.

I believe ill come down and spend some time with you on Sunday James, make sure your (you're) around, i could use a good talking too 


God i miss you xo

I wish I could go to where he is.

But for now I will just talk to James on here.

James, I wonder if you can see us, see me, see all of your loved ones...and what you feel when you do.

I just cried on a tram listening to Christina HAHA

God it sucks that you're gone! It really really sucks. I wanted to see you do so many things. Hopefully you are doing something cool now, wherever you are.

Love,
Hayley
xxxoxoxoxoxoxox mwah!

Wish you were here right now mate.

Some dude came round and tried to get me to join the Amway clan.

I didnt have the heart to tell him to fuck off, I need you to make me strong

james you always made me see sense when my mind was blurred by emotion. theres nothing i wouldnt give to be with you right now, hearing you tell me what i already know but struggle to admit lol.

i still have this message in my phone from you that says "i'll always look after you". you always will =) but you gave me strength and made me realise that i can look after myself, thankyou schmames.

please never stop visiting me in my dreams.

heart xxxxxxxxxx

God dont say that. Ive only just been able to build up the courage to rub one out without wondering if hes above me watching and learning my one handed fan tail technique 

lol there's an image i didn't need in my head at 10am

LOL me neither.

But yeah I have had similar thoughts Pratty, hehehe

was thinking the same thing.

 

 

Put as show on for the lad I reckon 

"well, he woulda been fkn impressed" Lauren after sex, the first time after James died

No comment *looks at Steve* 

hahahahaha

dear me .

Miss you ya cunt, so much shit i need to talk to you about plus no one else understands my obsession with sport like you did.



sport sport sport sport









thats actually NYE a year and a bit ago @ le rox, he jumped on with me and we ended up playing a 2 1/2 hour trance journey set, he loved it but don't tell anyone.

Don't worry Subbo, you can always talk to me about sport 

And I wont tell anyone..wont tell anyone about how much you like girly dance movies either...WHOOOOPS!

 

hey subbo. i reckon right now james would be thinking how under-rated troy bayliss was in his career.

step up hayley, step up.



chris, way to stretch a joke out for as long ya can.

bawhahahaha I'd forgotten the name. 

Which is why he didnt come to the shores the next day and needed head pats on the couch 


I heart head pats 

it's what i do mate.

dont fight the semi

 

I laid the smackdown today at training, you must've given me your fighting spirit for the hour and a half

Bigup M

Heading down this arvo with lauren to the Oval.

Will be there from 3pm ish if anyone wanted to join us. 

I know you were with us this morning sweetheart. Your presence was felt by many.

Love you 

I feel empty this afternoon, all the things i want you to fill are lacking, and i know i need to look inside myself to find what you showed me and refill myself, but it's not the same :/ i miss you 

Yeah I was gunna say. I cant remember having a fold back on a tripod at soda?

oh fuck.
lol
