Brummie Hornet 0 Report post Posted October 21 Hi folks Sorry to share some sad news. Some of you will remember the two of us Brimmies following Hornets. I am sad to tell you that my good mate Brian ( the one with the ZZ top beard) has sadly passed away. He was found by his father last week. No more details at this point but wanted our Hornets friends to know. Onward Brian Onward. A great mate who I travelled the country and drank many a sharp half with for over 30 years.

Brummie Hornet 0 Report post Posted October 29 Hi Wendy and John. Thanks to both of you for the kind words. We certainly had some good trips and it would be safe to say the memories of some are quite blurred! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveButt 33 Report post Posted October 30 Those trips were fantastic and the memories will stay with us. Like you Brummie I used to like the odd half but unfortunately to get to the half I liked I had to sup the top half first. The things we do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
