Re: Fairly pathetic haul

I went down to our health club with my wife after Christmas (New years resolution etc) Spent some time in the gym then agreed to meet up in the jacuzzi.

Wandered into the swimming pool to find her indoors already in the jacuzzi with Jamie Rednapp, Micheal Owen and Nick Barmby!!

Shes not stopped smiling since

Re: Frank Middlemass

Score one point each for timothy west and prunella scales. No points for Frank middlemass, who (esp since you didn't know his name) isn't famous. No pints at all for Dr Spock of baby face (tho Leonard Nimoy doing some locks on the thames would score three!)

*I-spy famous people: count your points*

NB

[peterg]

does this count?

SWMBO's cousin is Peter Davison (Dr Who, Tristan in that vet thing, Braithwaites etc etc) and he had a Shadow 26 a few years back but now has a narrowboat I think and his best mate Dennis Waterman had a boat on the Thames some years ago too

Re: +15 each

it only counts once per person, not per visit.

 

[tcm]

Re: yes but

you have to see them, axshully on the boat.

I once saw...

Oliver Reed actually out on the p*ss in Ockley is that the same thing?

 

[boatone]

Re: I once saw...

definitely not allowed...I live near Ockley and sightings of Ollie were much too common to be worth any points

Re: I once saw...

Well if that is the case then I should be loaded with points as Ollie used to come to our American Football annual pee up every year therefore, he has bought me loads of drinks and I have bought him loads of drinks far too numerous to mention so I win by at least 10,000,000,000,000 point cos you know how much ollie used to put away. Also he got into a fight once with some bloke who ducked his punch and Ollie ended up hitting his girlfreind on the follow thru which started a real big punch up so I get more points for that as I baled in.

Declared victorious.

Ps God rest his soul abs. fab bloke sorely missed.

fail on technicality

Note that you have to start the fight he pitches in, for 500 points. You joining his fight is no good at all.
