Some one needs to pull their finger out

I dont come on here much these days, consequently i've just noticed Marinabrians "last post" its now closed, so i thought i'd start this to say "farewell marra"
The jokes on whoever put his "leaving" in motion, this forum will be much of a lesser thing for it.
Yes he's unique, outspoken, acerbic & generally a P.I.T.A but i wouldnt have him any other way.
He loathes ZT/75's but has 4 that i know of, he has never , ever let me down, coming to my rescue at short notice (& i'm NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- sure i'm not the only one) His knowledge is encyclopedic & is the reason i still have a "badly built pile of NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- 75" his words

I'm genuinely sorry for the members who wont be able to ask his advice.
As i live a mere half mile from him & share a workshop with him i'm not at all worried, in fact, it might just mean he can actually do some stuff for himself, like drag the Mumford out of his garage & let me paint it!
I'm looking forward to not having to shove a mug of coffee in his hand to stop him having a rant about the latest folly regarding this forum, in fact i'm looking forward to the new, relaxed MB

Ah you're the painter he was on about, he said you were good, I'll keep that in mind for future. Honestly Brian leaving instantly made me think that I'm going to not keep my ZT because without his help I'll struggle to keep it going.

How long do you think this thread will last?
