James' Last Supper

I know many of you will have tried to imagine Jim's last evening. Well imagine no longer...

Last Playstation game:
Grand Theft Auto (San Andreas)

Last bottle of beer: Saint Omer
(shows Jim's good sense - every bit as good as Stella and a fraction of the price)

Last meal: Homemade Chile Con Carne
(Jim was a mean cook as those who know him well will appreciate)

Last bottle of wine: Casillero del Diablo Pinot Noir 2005
(Jim as a kid worked at Majestic Wines - this wine would be been an excellent companion for James' meal that night)

Last DVD: Withnail and I
(Monty: "It's true I have crept the boards in my youth but I never really had it in my blood.. and that's what's so essential isn't it? The theatrical zeal in the blood. Alas I have little more than vintage wine and memories; It's the most devastating moment in a young mans life, when he wakes up one morning and quite reasonably says to himself, "I shall never play The Dane!")

Last Book: The Life & Times of Julius Henry Marx ("groucho")
(Jim was always one who looked for wit in others - and dealt it out himself)

Last Activity: Changing his sheets (believe it or not!)

We would be honoured if you'd chose to share one of Jim's last items at your next opportunity (in his memory).
