Thumbs up Dave Archer - Bloody nice bloke.

Hi all,

had a bit of a mini YD gig at Scapa in Flaties when i bumped into Dave Archer and his UrbanFish dive crew.

We had a good crack, but i have to say Dave that your lot should never beleve anything my lot may say about me as they are all habitual liars and will exagerate the most trivial thing beyond all and any bounds of truth.

As Dave bought me a couple of beers there can be only one conclusion - A bloody nice bloke.

Dive safe

Paul

Bloody 'ell!
Imagine my surprise when googling for my name (thanks to the google spiders thread) and this turns up!

Paul, you must think me a right ignorant sod for ignoring this, but I've only just seen it mate! Jolly decent of you to say so, and as you bought me a beer in return I'm compelled you put it on record that you're a top chap yourself!

Cheers!
Dave.

PS That week in Scapa was excellent - I'm off back in May

I've bought myself LOADS of beers - does that make me a bloody nice chap too?

Why am I asking? In my eyes I'm ......

Just going to PM Admin to find out why I'm not allowed to give myself a green blob!

Well that's good to know Dave is coming on the St Abbs gig next month so there'll be loads more "Bloody nice bloke" all round if he's getting the beers in

Whenever I meet a fellow YDer I will get the beers in!*


* caveat - as long as there are no more than two YDers within a 5 mile radius at the time, and on the strict understanding that the beer recipient buys one back pronto

I'd rather have wine or Pimm's, so I won't take up any of the beer quota. What's the story with alternative beverages?

I think I speak for most people when I say that although we respect fully your right to an alternative lifestyle, please don't do it in front of us.



Thankyou

Lou

I used the term "beer" (incorrectly ) to mean any beverage, of a reasonable price - I'm a tight Northener at heart

I resurrected this thread because I felt bad having ignored Paul's kind post in the first place, but enough now - please let this thread slide back into the archives, such a spotlight is making me blush

"Incorrectly" eh? I expected more precision from you Mr Archer! Baggsie being one of the beer quota then. Who's going to grab the other spot in Abbs?

Spotlight making you blush? Liar, you're loving it

Lou - as far as the alternative lifestyle goes, what can I say? I was born hating beer And years of being on sports teams has only compounded that view . I know I'm a bad person. I'm sorry . Upside of this is that I can drink cocktails and wine in respectable quantities. The downside of that is that they give you a much worse hangover. Ho hum.
