Colchester Kev?
Yes I know why he isn't here, but anyone keep in touch and know how he is doing?
Got him on my fb. Think he bus driving still, recovered and lost LOADS of weight. His mental heallth recovery has opened a few doors for him...he was advising Eastenders on a storyline a while back. Plus a few other bits n bibs from what I can gather. Kev's been doing great over the last couple of years. No bus driving (as far as I know!) but he has done loads of voluntary and charity work including helping out on the SOS bus in Colchester which helps ease the strain on the emergency services on busy nights in the town centre by providing help to drunk and/or injured people. He's also done loads of work for time to change and the samaritans, raising awareness of mental health issues, including, as above, being the script advisor for the ian beale breakdown storyline on eastenders, speaking at events and in the media, and taking part in public awareness campaigns out and about. Has a day job working with adults with learning difficulties. Fantastic turnaround for him  Cheers Claire That has cheered me up no end, all the best to Kev. |

Hows Boldie getting on these days after all that happened? Anyone hear from him or his missus?
It's been a long slog, but they're well. He took a physical trainer course and found a new job, starting at the ground level with hopes of working his way up. He has nothing to do with gambling in any form since and even struggled to keep in touch with the few of us initially for fear he'd get the bug back. So far so good. Good to know their both ok. Pass on my good wishes if you speak or text him in the future |

Remind me please It was bloody years ago. Scottish Dave opinion was that more runners in a tourny meant more places paid out so better chance of cashing Your opinion was that less runners meant less players to beat and more chance of the win an therefore where the money is Was part of a larger thread, too long ago for me to remember what the thread was |

I know Howard is involved in car parks. Does he actually work in the car parks? I'm sure I saw him recently in Blackpool.

I bumped into Howard at Venetian last year, he said he'd sold a few of them but still had a few more. My abiding memory of Gareth is Owlerton Naps Casino festival back in the day and him drinking 4 red bulls then falling asleep at the table and having to be woken reg by dealer to act in a tourney  |

There was a tv doc made about him/car parks and the theatre a few years ago! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pmbfj |
