Brian Plummer.

Just thought it was worthy of a mention on here that today is the 20th anniversary of Brian Plummers death. That and the fact of how quickly time has passed.  If you're going to do it, do it.  Time and tide and all that malarky.

Don't know if it's just me but the older you get the faster it seems to go time that is.

For example 22 years since 9/11. Ffs. Makes you think. Jok.

Based loosely on Jacco the macaque in the Westminster pit if I remember correctly?

Just think a monkey that could use a hammer would be better employed as a roofer.

Great books and well written to be truthful.

He was a wordsmith par excellence,right place right time for those of us who needed inspiration as kids.

He was that Mack for sure I've read most of his books and they are all enjoyable to read, but not really a reference book.

Inspirational yes.

My son was a big fan when he was a teenager. Collected all his books and articles and persuaded me to buy him a merle half cross from Hancock. It had the speed of a collie and the brain of a particularly retarded greyhound.

I always enjoyed his reads, especially growing up over here, you could almost picture in your minds eye the events taking place then try to create your own when off school at the weekend, the guy could tell a story
