Cross COuntry Yesterday!

[Robert Bruce]

I remeber a boy called Sebastian - was the best ever at the cross country, he was nearly finnished one year before I even reached the desert.  There was another boy we called him Ollie ( can't remember is real name)  He had walking difficulties but he alway gave it 100% and never gave up.  The whole school used to cheer him on when he came over the hill at the end.  I can still see his smile  - I remember ever seeing him not smiling.  He was in my sisters class so he would be about 30 now.

And we have the audacity to complain and moan at being hungover, the price of a Zonda, not being fast enough on the squash court,  driving when we should walk and then moaning about the long walk.....!

We do not know how really good we have it.

10 out of 10 for Robert  -  for smacking me right back in plek for opening my wide mouth about having a car and that goes for you as well Claire.

Yep  -  we moan and groan, while we should be rejoicing in what we have.

Ahem! Excuse me Mike - but you're forgetting to tell our friends here that the RED team allowed the greens a turn at winning, cause our trophy cabinet is full and yours is collecting dust; we the Mighty Reds are such good sports!
We love you red team; we do
We love you red team;we do
We love you red teeeeeeam; we do
Oh! Red team we love yoooooooooooooo

..... the RED team allowed the greens a turn at winning.....

And we grabbed the opportunity with both hands.....! And look what happened - we won! So we need to ask - how much money was exchanged in bungs?

[Cherry (Alcock)]

Not sure who Ollie was/is but Sebastian was/is Sebastian D'Elboux

[Claire Mc Cullagh]

I think your right - he was younger than me, I remeber all the younger girls always fancied him,  think he went to SACS Boarding school. Funny the things we remember.....

[Cherry (Alcock)]

He's on Facebook as is his sister Celeste.
