Head Honcho Posted 29 January 2007 Posted 29 January 2007 I guess whether you knew Janx personally or via exchanging views on here, everyone is going to have been touched by this. He was a young man, with a family - one minute he was posting on here and the next.... it does make you think about your own mortality and how this could quite easily have happened to any of us. Personally, Janx wasn't that much older than me and had a child a similar age to mine, there but for the grace of God and all that. It's so unbelievably sad, I hope there will be a lot of people out after the Cov game to raise a glass in his memory. The only day next month that I can't get back to Leicester so gutted I can't make it but will raise a glass to him anyway On another point! Did anyone else feel a bit different getting into their car today? I don't know what it was but I just felt the need to take my time and concentrate on my driving a bit more.

Did anyone else feel a bit different getting into their car today? I don't know what it was but I just felt the need to take my time and concentrate on my driving a bit more. I was thinking about it this morning and my driving actually suffered as a result. Very jumpy. Think I was *too* aware of what was around me and of my movements (pedal wise) which are usually pretty subconscious/second nature. Does that make sense? Anyway, I had that feeling where I didn't feel quite 'able' to drive and how scary it was and the damage i could do. Horrible. As for raising a glass to Janx - I'll do all I can to be there.

I felt very weird,made me think of the risk we take every time we get into our cars and how we need to be fully aware at all times. Its a terrible thing and it could have happend to anyone.
Dellyjo Posted 29 January 2007 Posted 29 January 2007 Unfortunately I am not going to be able to attend, but rest assured I will be raising a glass to him that evening. I just know he would want everyone to get pi$$ed in his memory.

There were 14 tradegies on the roads up here over the weekend, that's a frightening number of people.
howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 8 February 2007 Posted 8 February 2007 I used to post with a lot of you on the official site a couple of years back and from what i remember of Janx he was a really good guy, I was involved in a massive accident last christmas/new year and it is the worst thing in the world knowing how fragile life really is!!!! RIP Mate

RIP Mate Dont forget. I'll see you all saturday, celbrating Janx's life and the new messiah that is Milan Manderic.
Guest Posted 13 February 2007 Posted 13 February 2007 I could really do with Janx's words of wisdom now.
Aeropars Posted 13 February 2007 Posted 13 February 2007 There is nothing that anyone can say, nothing that anyone can do to ease the pain of a loved one passing away. Its these type of situations that everything to do with football, with our jobs and with life, means hardly anything. I lost my grandad suddenly who taught me all i know about LCFC. Its a shame and in a lot of cases devastating. But i beleive they are all upstairs cheering the boys on and willing us to happynes. RIP chap... I didnt know you but nomatter what happens in football or life, its a shame.
Thracian Posted 13 February 2007 Posted 13 February 2007 I'll certainly be raising a quiet glass to him. So many people knew him personally that it would feel like gatecrashing a party to join his friends. I was chatting with him so recently on the forum that it is still hard to cope with the idea we'll never exchange views again. A very peculiar feeling indeed. One that puts all the trials and tribulations of life into proportion. And emphasises how you should never take your own family and friends for granted - but always make time for them when you can. Rest in deepest peace Janx and know that you're deeply missed by so many.
lcfcalan Posted 13 February 2007 Posted 13 February 2007 Be there people , have a drink among friends , Neil would like that . Hope to see you there , 'old' faces and new.
The People's Hero Posted 14 February 2007 Posted 14 February 2007 I'll be there for this. God bless you Janx and may you rest in peace.
MC Prussian Posted 14 February 2007 Posted 14 February 2007 Enjoy the piss-up, have fun and make some noise. For Neil. And for me. Can't be there.

The People's Hero Posted 15 February 2007 Posted 15 February 2007 I'm T-total these days... but I'll come out of drinking retirement for one day only. It's what Janx would have wanted.

Swabianfox Posted 16 February 2007 Posted 16 February 2007 Swaby Baby will come to town from rainy and windy Sheffield tomorrow in order to raise his glass to the occasion. Looking forward to meet plenty of friends and familiar faces, and I'm sure it will be in Janx' spirit!
