    Some of us would like to rename the Hornets Nest in memory of our friend canary dave who posted on this message board for its duration and was a regular in the Nest.

    Can we take a straw poll of ideas for names etc.

    Ideas include
    The Hornet and Canary
    The Horents Nest- Daves Bar
    The Horents Nest- Daves Lounge
    The Hornet and Canary Nest

    and so on.....

    Ideas welcomed....

    I'm not sure about the "Horents Nest" bit - but maybe 'Hornet's Nest - Canary Dave's Lounge'?

    I originally thought

    The Canary's Nest but some did not want to drop the Hornet bit, which I understand.

    Of those about I like

    The Horents Nest- Dave's Bar
    The Horents Nest- Dave's Lounge

    or

    Canary Dave's Hornet's Nest.

    As long as AG is ok with it all.

    Just a suggestion as I don’t post there but perhaps just Dave’s Hornet Nest or Dave’s Nest of Hornets?

    I'm all in favour of renaming the nest in memory of Dave, though this depends on getting in touch with AK, who isn't a very regular user of the forum. In terms of the predictions leagues the WPL has already changed its name in memory of Brian and i don't think the other predictions league is a prominent enough thread to really do Dave justice on this - particularly because it disappears in the close season. It has been a tragic year in losing two posters and friends - but we have been privileged in as much as we were informed about both. In Brian's case by two members of his family and in Dave's case there were also connections and contact outside of the forum. I would hate to think of a poster just disappearing and nobody would learn the reason - it may have happened but I am not aware of it. Is there a way we can permanently honour both of them ? The predictions leagues are not really up for this (though the WPL will continue to be named after Brian) because of their transitory (ie. seasonal) nature.

    I like the Best of Hornets idea...and if we go for both Brian and Daves Nest of Hornets Bar might work.

    Yes it has been a sad year to lose two of our regular posters......This might be a good memorial to them....
