Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[tikay]

After Tony's post about sharing a table I got to thinking about how quickly time passes and how long it is since I've seen some of the people on here.


If we've met and you can remember, tell me roughly when and where the last time was please.

I might even catch someone out with my superior memory.



 

Think our last game was when you came along to an SPT somewhere. Nottingham or Brighton maybe?

October 2019. an SPT at the Alea in Notts.

I didn't trouble the scorers.

Saw Booder at his house about 2017? when I bought his motorcycle.

Saw Ralph when we played snooker. Can't pin down the date though.

Tightend - I bumped into him in a Co-op in Barwell. Seems like yesterday so I'm guessing 2016?

Ironside? Fek Knows. When was it Iron?

Doobs, I think we've met but I can't be sure. Do you look a bit like Phil Silvers, AKA Sargent Bilko?

Last time I saw you would be DTD circa 2013?!!

I don't know if we have met, I have heard you speak but I did watch some dog training videos once, so it may just be that.  Pretty sure we haven't shared a table because I am sure I'd have took the opportunity for a chat.  I didn't get out much even before lockdown!

Hi Stu.

2013 sounds about right.  

Were you married and sensible by then?

I must have, confused you, (and Bilko) with someone else then.

Perhaps we can organise things so that we are at the same venue one day in the future.

You will have to post a few pics, (Did you say you have trouble posting them?)

Married in the summer of 2013, and then George arrived in November 2014.

Not sure sensible is the word! I think it became more a case optimal time management!

Fond memories of those day's though when so many Blondes and associates were there most weekends.

In no particular order.....
Blatch, Bedi, Mitch, PLinton, Maria, Barry, Dan Phillips, Giblin

Tony. What's his name who was going to move to Vegas but struggled to get a the paperwork sorted? I'm sure he bought a house over there once.

I keep thinking Dave and Mac something.

I knew him well and we were quite friendly. I think he ended up running the card room at Luton.

Never mind, It's Jim McShane. I've remembered now but I can't be arsed deleting this now I've written it.

My memory for names and faces is shocking, and it isn't getting better.  Weirdly I am much better when I hear people speak.  I wouldn't be offended if I say I don't remember meeting you anyway.

Yes, so many great characters, I bet we could name dozens more if we tried. Great days.
