Endel Öpik (Tal Stoneheart), 12th April 1968-21 November 2005.

tals died on Monday of a heart attack. metzkass is after photos of him (I'll go through my huuuuge pile of photos and see what I have), particularly from Whitby just gone. I concur with reverend2001's assessment. BBC story.

It would be in the most appropriate Tal taste to note that my strongest memory is my fright at his extensive penis piercings.

I deeply regret not making it up to see Tal and Fury in the last couple of years.

Remember that party at WGW November 2002? I keep remembering that whole weekend and how kind he and Fury were to me. I feel so stupid for never taking the oppertunity for not getting to know him better.

I mean for getting to know him better ,obviously. Stupid brane.

Where do you think I saw the penis piercings?

Could you forward this one (http://poobubble.co.uk/gallery/whitbyapr02/whitbytal) on to her? I don't feel like I know her well enough to send it myself.

Will do. Google Images search on "tal whitby" gets a lot of hits too.

I didn't know him that well and haven't seen/spoken to him for a few years... I have a few photos somewhere I think which I will have a look for, and scan in.

That would be just the thing!

Those are really good!

I have only two photos of him; one of his face and one of himself, Fury and some of our cronies, both taken at Whitby a few years ago. I will scan them in as soon as I can and post them on my LJ.

I am deeply upset and shocked. Thanks for the extra details, I had no idea what had happened and am glad to now know the cause.
