Ladies & Gentlemen, I present for your contemplation ..........
Gone but not forgotten
Well that’s that then! There’s an empty space at the bar were you’d stand, were we’d chat about much and nothing, putting the World to rights with nothing more than our ideals and a few pints. I can’t believe I won’t see you there of a Friday night ever again, with your ready grin or shout of “I’ll get them in!” Mate, if only you’d just listened, but no ….. ever the chancer, you thought you could beat the odds, how wrong you were my friend. Still, the Landlords Daughter says you were “Kinda cute”, shame her Dad barred you!
 I Thangyu !
