    I only knew him on here and not in real life, but it still feels like a sad loss. I followed the opening of his pub with interest and always fancied visiting as from what I read on here it sounded great. Sadly, not being local, it was one of those things I never got around to. RIP Mike.

    RIP Mike. I had unfortunately moved out to Derbyshire before you opened your pub, so never had the good fortune to have sunk a pint or two with you in there.

    Very sad news, although I only visited his pub, in the early days, it had a good atmosphere, and served good beer, although I am not an expert, it had a very good reputation. My condolences to his son, who  helped my son's team out by playing in goal, when we were let down by our  own goalie , just before we moved down here  8 odd years ago., Condolences to him, and his family.

    Sad to hear this news.

    I never met him, but right from the earliest CL days read his posts with anticipation - often amusing, he certainly knew how to play Devil's advocate.

    RIP Chirpy.

    Really sorry to hear this news. I didn't really know him on here, but Mike created something really special with The Long Pond. I used to cycle up to my parents' place in Sidcup partly so I could pop in for a before-closing-time pint on the way back. 

    The Long Pond inspired the mighty fine River Ale House down the road from me, and I expect a few others as well. Not many of us can leave a legacy like that.

    I'll join in with those raising a glass to him. RIP.
  • Sincere condolences to family and friends. RIP

    This is really sad news. Never did make it to the Long Pond but used to enjoy a pint and a chat with him down at the Beehive back in the day. RIP Chirpy

    Sad news. Certainly was an interesting character with so much still offer. Condolences to the family and RIP Mike.
  • That was shock, reading that news!
    I met him a couple of times in The Long Pond. As many have said he was a big character on this forum.
    It's an awful way to lose someone in that way: No time for goodbyes, just all the memories they left behind. You'll live long in ours.
    RIP Mike/Chirpy/Riviera.
  • Rest in peace Mike.
