Chris et al,
I'm glad you remembered the honourable Dines as well....thought I was the only
one who recalled his nefarious ways (as per a very much earlier dispatch from rural
Monmouthshire). I guess you must have been present (if not a witness
to) an incident at a Glasshouse rugby match when Mike Williams made up the
numbers of one team whilst playing against a rabble 15 (which included Dines)on
the other. There must have been some needle going on between the two of
them because Dines executed what can only be described as a perfect tackle on
MW's shorts. MW being a man who in those days had a reputation for not
taking too many prisoners brought his heel up into the lower portion of Dines
visage causing the said Dines to release his partially debagged quarry and
allowing MW to score the nth try of the match.
Now this may all be ramblings of a mind that is becoming more detached from
reality by the day OR was it the one occasion when I saw summary justice being
meted out with real gusto?
Mike
Dear All,
This morning I received a hand written letter from Mike Williams in response to our representation at Maureen’s funeral. I quote:
Dear Mike,
How good of you to attend the funeral and many, many thanks for the lovely messages which were read out. Please thank the authors for me.
What good times those schooldays were.
Best wishes,
Mike
