Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Bluetintedspecs]

one morning, five minute speech in front of about 3000 delegates, the whole time wondering if I could get to the end without puking on the rostrum. That's recent past too - last conference pre-COVID. ? ?

Wow! Still got it girl ?

I know I'm really p*ssed when I start doing shots. Mostly happened in Brighton when I was at union conferences. 3am doing shots in a bar called Mollys. Best networking to be had! Vaguely remember being deep in conversation with the Deputy General Secretary about football. He was a Blackpool fan so we had Alan Ball in common. Also never missed or was late for a session at conference and even moved a motion about equality one morning, five minute speech in front of about 3000 delegates, the whole time wondering if I could get to the end without puking on the rostrum. That's recent past too - last conference pre-COVID. ? ?

The shot I went for most was tequila slammers. I can remember in Mexico the waitresses would walk round with shot belts, one draped from each shoulder that crossed to the opposite hip, just like the bullet belts Mexican bandits wore in westerns, but filled with shot glasses.

When you asked for a tequila slammer, they'd serve you, hit you over the head with a massive rubber mallet, then stand behind you, grab your head and give it a good shake. Mad.

Maybe @Reedy1979 could let us know if his family have asked for donations to a particular charity or place.

I will find out x


Match postponed I hear ?

Conference = Any excuse for a piss up

I used to go to conferences with delegates from lots of different countries. The ones that were most likely to be the last to leave the bar were the Irish, all the Scandies (mainly because booze was so expensive in their homeland), Aussies, Kiwis and Poles.

And me.

Like you Tommy I was a relatively late follower of this thread.

I'm sure that @Barnfred 55 , @Earwigjoe , @Reedy1979 , @anjelikaferrett and @Sassy Colombian aee likely to know Karl's personal situation and in particular if he left dependents.

I will look into where Karl wanted donations and let youbguys know x


What a great bunch of incredible people ? ❤

How I agree with that. My Nan and Grandad were both born in 1900. They died in 1980 and 1988 respectively. When I think about it, I find it astonishing that I knew people who were born 121 years ago.

In 1968 I went with my friend to stay with her aunt in Lowestoft. We were sent to fetch milk from the dairy nearby which was run by a mother and daughter. The mother was 110 years old! She used to sit behind the counter chatting to the customers. On being introduced to us she got up and shook our hands. Mind boggling to think that I touched someone who was born in 1858!

I can assure you they're not my mob Fred, I've been up there 40 rears but I'm still just a simple Wirral lad, some may say very simple?

Unique way of recording time but I am not here to judge.

That would have made 148 had she been the same lady Joe.

Unlikely ?
