After taking several days off in order to get my head round Big Hutch's reckless endangerment of his health I found myself contemplating the impact that he and his absence has had on the people who know him best.
In response to my own tad theatrical reaction to seeing his video I sort out someone who could show me some sense of reality and calm my jaded nerves.
Enter Big Scott, part time romancer of the elderly and full time Hutch fan.
Expecting a re-assuring word and perhaps one of his legendary hugs to sooth my aching heart and reassure me our favourite son would be ok, imagine the horror when a visibly upset Scott upon seeing the video ran screaming hysterically from the viewing, locking himself in his room sobbing uncontrollably whilst playing Puff Daddy and Faith Evans sombre ballad ‘I’ll be missing you’ on repeat. At the time of writing this Scott is yet to leave his fortress of solitude, preferring only to communicate with the outside world though the medium of paper scrolls wound tightly and passed though the keyhole on his door.
Clearly Scott is a tad over-sensitive, and his reaction suggests deep rooted psychological issues that need resolving? Well apparently not…….
Enter Big Rik. Musical aficionado and regular Big Hutch Blog contributor and all round hairy good guy.
Now this is one smart crumpet, logic and reasoning are his bread and butter and if anyone could put a positive spin on the big mans absence surely he’d be that man? I’m afraid not…….. As I write this Rik is actively seeking Swine Flu victims in his office in order to interact with them in hope of contracting the potentially deadly virus. Why you ask yourself would a smart and successful guy with brilliant friends and very specific musical tastes endanger himself and those around him by taking such a silly and stupid risk? Because that is exactly what our beloved Blutch (Big and Hutch combined) is doing. And we all want to be like him, who doesn't!?
A quick glance at some of Hutch’s other friend’s reveals that all is not right with the village idiots.
Big Del ate ‘rocket’ in a sandwich. Rocket being a vegetable and healthy and Del being Del, that I think you’ll agree is pretty terrifying.
Big Tom (meant in an ironic way, much like little John not actually being little) passed his driving test and actually now drives a car! What the bloody hell is going on!
Big Scott as well as the uncontrollable sobbing has now started dating a young lady under the age of 30 and is happy about it!!
Big Matt donated money to charity. Roy went out and wasn’t the coolest kid in the room and Jordan refuses to top people’s stories and instead listens intently before enthusiastically congratulating them on a yarn well spun.
In times of trouble and inner conflict the Native American Indians have been known to go on spirit walks to seek clarity and the answers to the questions which perplex them when they need enlightenment. It is raining outside so I’m fucked……
Come back soon Big Hutch, we all need you.

Ryan's right - I've concluded that contracting swine flu is the only possible relief from this grief
