Missing Persons

Sometimes I think life is very short and spiralling uncontrollably onwards but then I think of just how many potatoes I have left to peel before my time comes and it seems refreshingly interminable again, nestling back into my day and joyously immersing myself in the dreariness of it all.

Of course, the real disaster is not life going by too quickly but being suddenly cut short out of nowhere. So it must be particularly distressing when a family member, a colleague or a friend suddenly disappears with no notice given and no explanation.

Sadly that very event has occurred to a regular reader of this blog, his mate Martin Gordon has been missing for nearly a week now, ever since he headed out early to a shift at Cabaret Voltaire.

There's a myriad of reasons for what could have happened to this man, ranging from perfectly innocent to the worst possible. Here's hoping he finds his way back home amongst his family and friends (and potatoes) soon.

thank you for the publicity here, the facebook page was set up with the intention of getting as many of Martins friends and friends of friends informed as wuickly as possible but the response has been staggering. Thanks

No problem Richard, my flatmate mentioned it to me separate to my own finding out (and we're in London) so word of mouth is working well it seems.

Best of luck.

Just for info, the facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=105890859441834

and if that doesn't work, search for: 'Martin Gordon is Missing please pass this on'

Thanks again for your efforts Jeff, I know many of us are very grateful.
