Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Morning.

Bank Details have now been sent to all those who expressed an interest, excepting those who have already paid. I've also omitted KarmaDope & scotty77, as we will settle up in Vegas as agreed.

Payment is not due yet, so no rush.

Will pay in Vegas if that's ok.

Abso fine Keith.

We going to the Baseball @ Cashman Field this year? I rather enjoy that slice of Americana. Went with you one year, then took Gill another year & bumped into Longy, & last year went with Tal & Mr Ambo. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I also went one year when I thought they were at home & in fact they were away, marv.

If Monday 27th June slots... I'd love to join the party

Hello all.  Just been trying to catch up a bit on all the goings on . I hope all Blondes are running good .

Not been able to do much lurking lately as have been busy with all kinds of stuff, work ( overrated ) travelling ( underrated)  and bought a little place on a golf course over here and even joined the club. I put some bad cards in and they gave me a 12 handicap !!!!!!!!!!! ( definitely worth some exclamation marks-sorry )  Then they weren't happy when I won the net club championship- LOL. Bought them some undrinkable American beer though to prevent an international incident.

I thought I would check your Vegas schedule Tikay  .I'm flying in on 5th June for a couple of weeks as it stands so if you fancy coffee or lunch or  dinner then let me know. It would be great to catch up with you . Have you made an honest woman out of Gill yet ?

Been reading with interest about your golf lessons at Kedleston, Russell , great player and big buddies with the Head Pro  I worked for in my first assistant pros job in Salisbury ( Nigel Blenkarne was his name and incidentally his brother won an archery Olympic gold in Moscow in 1980 ) , molitor golf  balls ( absolute bricks ) and Joan Collins who was my pin up when I was a teenager ( still got the hots for her even  now ).
Seeing as I'm rambling now like Tikay himself , my uncle claims to have dated Joan Collins when they were both at RADA

BTW Tony, if you ever get a chance to go to Asheville , the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway I would definitely recommend it. Absolutely beautiful part of the world , spoilt only by Americans.  Spent a day at Biltmore Estate , the largest family estate in the USA , owned by the Vandebilt family who are a really interesting bunch. Came out of nowhere to build a huge business in shipping and railroads and became the 2nd richest family in the States behind Rockefeller. One of them even married a Spencer -Churchill and became a Duchess Google them if you fancy an interesting 10 minutes .

Sorry for rambling on. Let me know about coffee in Vegas ( I'm buying )

oh and was it David  J RUSSELL who gave you the lessons as he was the Tournament Pro at Keddo  or maybe a real dour Scot by the name of Gavin Christie who really buggered up my game ?? - Gavin went back to Jockland so don't know if he was still there when you were starting your illustrious golf career but I'll never forget him as I still snap hook it today !!

Gavin Christie was based in Leicester the last time I heard of him a couple of years ago. He was at Wollaton giving John Lower a lesson when I turned up for my lesson with John.

I invited him to stick around and give me some extra feedback but he declined before he'd even seen me swing a club as he was rushing off to The Open. He is still considered to be one of the top coaches around; Glyn and Sean were two of his pupils.

I wondered why I hadn't seen you this spring, sounds like life is good.

Crikey, plenty to discuss today, but first, let's get the Vegas business out of the way.

Payments have been received overnight as follows:

redsimon - £89

hhyftrftdr - £89

booder - £89

Big-D - £445.

Big D sent me a few texts, he is expecting a 100% return as I play a lot of DYM's. Hope is the mother of something, but I can't exactly recall what. 

Thanks Gents, paid & safely received, & Mere will Update accordingly.

Who would have ever imagined this scene? - mass media & a heroes welcome in Thailand of all places, for a football team from Leicester in the UK.

The power of TV is quite something. No wonder image rights are so valuable these days. the guys in Marketing have got it sussed.

This was overnight........

Harmony of the Seas, the world's largest cruise liner, arrived in Southampton yesterday.

As ships go, not the prettiest I have ever seen, but oh my, she is impressively huge. Sort of Hattie Jacques.
