He's MY mate and I'll treat him how I like!!!

Before Tommo and his family moved to Oz he did his leaving rounds of his bestest oppos around the Country.

At this time he lived in Medway and I was in Deepest Darkest (Dartmouth) Devon.

I was on his itinerary and said my farewells in person when he stayed for a memorable leaving bash.

So - if I want to extract the urine of a good mucker, I will.

Stuey

PS Rab, you're next!!!

Thank Stu and Rab,
It was a good farewell run Stu and I remember very well that we left rather late, on the grounds that Samantha didn't wake up as she usually did.
I was a long trip home that morning.
Your right too Stu, it was a select few oppo's. That was over 27 years ago.
Geeeeee how time flies.

Tommo

27 years!!!! Bloody hell...

I'm hoping to get early retirement at the end of the year and if I do you can expect a visitation.

On the other hand, I know you come back to the old country once in a while - we have plenty of room and would love to see you.

I remember both of you very well Michael....

One who has done extremely well, and the other who I spent an extremely drunken weekend in Pompey with last year...

..Where has he disappeared to recently..??? Really quite miss him...

Hey Stuey!

Don't go inviting ex-pats to dinner when I only live down (up?) the road from you, by comparison. Neither Tommo or RAB (freeloader) aint exactly round the corner, are they?

Was it in Strood, that Tommo lived?

Bye the way, we (Chatham) had another Tommo, got arrested by the RPs, thrown in DQ's and kicked out....I remember carrying out Guard Duties in Pembroke Cells.
