Cheers David, I'll give Derek a bell.

Yes Brian died over there, they said heart attack, he was cremated over there and then his ashes brought over here for us to have a funeral.

No one could get any answers over there, he was dead a few days before anyone found him.

Alick nice one, my dad will like that, he can't drive anymore so he doesn't get about that much these days, he still thinks he is 25 years old he is 84 now took him all over the golden triangle Northern Thailand on the back of a motorbike last year he loved it, and he was always first to get ready to get to the nightclubs over there every night.....

 

I met Brian williams in Thailand 5 years ago in a very busy area open bars everywhere hundreds of them and I walked up to a bar and 1 seat was open and sat down started talking to the bloke at the side of me and it was Brian unbeleavable but true.

 

I read a lot about Pattaya in Pattaya forum, there are at least 1 death a day from the blue killer viagra, not saying that happened, but the girls have been known to swop the pills for higher doses to knock people out there or even worse, I have been there 40 times past 12 years and have seen it all ...that is crazy brian dying there also he was at Harolds funeral also in Thailand...take it easy off down the beach

I still have a drink with McKenna every saturday and Sunday, Still the same old McKenna go's on about how much it cost him to keep Mick Hughes

(cloth hears) in beer every week (I just don't know how he affords it (he tells me he's a skint millionair)

 

Mack knows a thing or two about the black stuff though, and I don't mean that in glasses in Ireland I mean coal he use to hump it all day just to feed the Kids that's before he took up boxing with brendan Ingle and becoming bomber Grahams manager but I don't think he made owt from that

 

It beats me how he manages to keep cloth hears in beer

Mack used to buy his suits off us when he came home.

He was putting weight on so fast he bought a bigger size every fortnight.
