a rare but welcome sighting, the evergreen and ever cheerful alec on his way back from the "funky monkey" replete with john smiths bitter at £.1.69 a pint. - Terry Nunn

TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 24 December 2010 21:4386405Hi Alec, I`ve seen you a few times without realising it mate. Got to get my forumite board out now and see how many points I get for spotting you. Had the pleasure this morning of being introduced to Ken Tranter by another well known forumite.Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

forget the christmas festivities that river needs a good clear out.
no slacking if you don't mind. - 24 December 2010 23:1186416Howard.
You know you are not allowed to put your feet in the river for another 3 months, now come on man and buck up, DON'T upset the E.A you know the rubbish stops in November and the river is clean.

26 December 2010 19:0386528Thanks for the photo shoot Howard, cor, you know how to make a man look old
. We could have had a swift half in the Golden Lion if my bus hadn't been there waiting for me, I didn't want to miss it as there were a few cancellations yesterday.
Ian, thanks for the offer of a piggy back to the sea front, I didn't get as far as that yesterday, only as far as the underpass to have a Christmas drink in the Funky Monkey with a few more old timers. Glad to see that you have recovered but sorry to see that your family have gone down with it now.
Colin, we will meet up one day, I must try and get up to the White Horse now that I am walking a bit better. I am hoping to throw my crutch away soon but with the pavements still covered in ice in Whitfield I shall wait a while. - Terry Nunn

26 December 2010 19:1086529How about an old timer's get together in the White Horse one lunchtime then chaps? Haven't seen Colin for a while.
TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 31 December 2010 19:3287058Nice to meet you at last today Alec, and you weren`t hard to find with Howard`s Police Five type picture. I expect we`ll be tripping over each other now everytime we`re out. Anyway, it was a pleasure Alec, and do hope we trip over each other soon mate. Best wishes for the coming year.Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

3 January 2011 19:2787609Thank you for those kind words Colin. It was nice to meet you and your lovely sister, I can put a face to you now.
I was going to say that I will see you in the White Horse but sadly it doesn't look likely now.
