Speaking of bands!

What is a Drummer?

Someone that hangs around with musicians

At the pub, I was full and Fiona gave me her phone number on a dollar note. My mate spent the money on a stubby that night (dollar night), lucky he has a good memory. That was 21 years ago, lucky for me that you could get a stubby and a bride for a dollar back then.

A friend from school set me up with my wife to be, our first date was half blind.

I was blind, she had already seen me in a photo I don't think she was wearing her glasses at the time.

I noticed HRH Liz outside her place of employment, then spotted her again some time later at the supermarket. I asked a friend who worked at the same store to put in a good word for me, the rest is history. That was in 1987. Turned out she lived around 100 metres, as the crow flies, from my house. Small world....

My wife and I met at a singles party that we both didn't really want to go to.

Luckily we both decided to turn up!

I dont know what the "Other" Category is but it seems like a good way to meet a partner !
For me it was at a fundraising event I was doing, almost 20yrs ago !
How time flies when your having Kids, Morgage etc, etc ...

Ian, my 'other' was the mobile phone SMS system. There wasn't any category for it, so it was the closest.

Now, was that a 'Fundraising' or 'Funraising' event! Answer carefully, she might read this!
