AppyDAZE Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) (Thursday to Saturday night...) A "The dead of... insert year" record? Possibly. Not wanting to curse things, but things have been pretty quiet on here for a while now. No flack pleae, I'm getting on, you start getting a morbid fascination with all things death when you get to my age. It's natural.

I know they’re trained to keep composure, but imagine being told about the death of a close colleague and then having to straight away do that. Clear he meant the world to them and can’t find anyone with a bad word to say about him. One of the good guys. RIP x 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Very sad news. He was a passionate beekeeper for those that weren`t aware and had fought hard to stop pesticides being used. If you get a chance to see the BBC documentary he made a few years back, do so it is excellent. Every chance it will be repeated shortly on BBC Four or something given today`s news. RIP Mr Turnbull. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
