Phase 3 1985 - 1990 ...

Darenth Yateley College Stonar ... new people, enthusiasm tails off then give up entirely. 

The late 80's lads

Tel - loud, good fun, ears huge, fast, hair ala a friz fest at a friz fest gala, brain = unsure? Helpfulness = salt of the earth, immeasurable ... broke world record in regard to time we made up as mates - 15 seconds, Other world records, land speed record achieved in a white Ford van along a housing estate road. When he has an accident it's gonna be a big one GBowers whilst trying to keep up in a sporty car on the outskirts of London. 

Laughing at Jock Bizarre 

Tony Moore - minuses - hugely fat, brummie, old ladies hairdo. Tony, a professional male Elephant seal impressionist from Coventry once admitted during a drunken curry shop binge that his previous ambition in life was to be a house breaker but was forced to accept defeat when the rungs of every ladder he attempted to use broke under the stress of strain of his lardiness, and even when he had a factory built 'special' ladder and weight tested that one it's first use he then found himself wedged inside the frame of a second story window after which arrest, a court case and thereafter imprisonment rendered his chosen profession as null and void. He went on to fame and fortune as the star of the BBC's planet earth as ??? 

Jock - Scottish, short, liked cars, fishing, boozers, greasy bad food ... pretty much your average Scottish person. 

Keith - laid back with a nose that can only be described as gigantic ... temperament, awfully laid back, unobtrusive and all round off the scale good.  Famous quotes "where's my stuffed paratha" ... very few other words uttered. Once fell asleep in the Harbour Street curry house, and I mean fully asleep, splayed below table height across two chairs. Fell asleep on Geoff's mum's sofa ... woke up looking like a mauri after we decorated his 'visage' with bic biros. 

*the joke I made about his nose being large enough to host an alternative to ??? and the toilet facilities being far better was in fact a twisting of the actual truth. 

The two Steve's. Chalk and cheese but good lads. Steve's 9.1 nickname arrived at by Bowers after we first encountered him fishing on the Copse at Yateley where he admitted that his PB Carp weighed 9 lb 1 oz. We knew them as 9.1 and ginger Steve. Memories include 9.1 having a dreadful hatred of mosquito bites. I recall meeting him where I noticed his uncovered arms were covered in red welts. 

Rob MacGill - ala Slob Magoo. A lovely chap. Broken arm or was it leg? Quote "the worst concert I ever went to was Santana" which I found shocking. Years later I went to see Santana at the Wembley arena and guess what ... he was right.
