Not sure if 'positive contribution' is the right phrase for these two...

but they're fucking funny

For his enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge...

Fred Dibnah rules! my dad dragged me along to a steam engine show when i was a kid, i got to meet him! he was an absolute legend, with an unfathomable wealth of knowledge, and he had to be the friendliest guy in the world.
RIP.

Well he was either not very good at relationships, or not very nice to his wives, or just very unlucky in love. I don't know. I'm only trying to make some weak justification for my earlier throwaway comment about his cuntishness.

I'll leave this thread till i find something nice to say now.
