Didnt see this before.

Saw the old fella about at the CGH,Gangsters and other pubs.Never took him on cos im crap at pool. Its top that he helped turn you around and as such means that your a living memorial to a good bloke(err probably not the right wording but you get the idea)

Lost all my Grandparents in my teens its a bummer.

I had the pleasure of paying to be soundly thrashed by him in the Greyhound once (or the Grapes, not sure).

Sorry to hear that Macca.
