    we are now using a backup solution

RIP Astonian (Alan)

Alan will be dearly missed. From what I could tell, he was a kind and helpful person. I rarely read a post where Alan did not have something interesting to say. My condolences to his family.
 
Only just seen this, rest in peace Alan, only knew you from reading the forums. As a newish member, the story of the pools coupon at Tucker's sticks in my mind, very funny but with a tinge of what could have been. At rest in the bullring in the sky
