After a productive and genial meeting in the sports centre cafe where the KORS do was held, we decided to go and grab some dinner. We went to the Brewery Arts Centre which is where they have the Kendal Mountain Film Festival. A very nice place, all fine stonework, clean surfaces and a midge free beer garden. The four of us took a table, ordered items various and the banter flowed freely.
I had one moment though when I realised that at the table were: a legend; a professional mountaineer; a sports entrepreneur and a heating engineer.
Just for a moment there I was Dr Sam Beckket. I think I got away with it.
Right let me guess, I wasn’t there but Alan Hinkes is my starter & I will guess the sports entreprenuer after your confirmation of suspect one.
No names given :o) Wasn’t Alan though…
The important lesson is that fast talking and a big bloody grin should always be carried along with a whistle and survival bag.
This blogging lark does get us into some strange company at times. And then you realise the ‘names’ are not that strange after all. As I said to St Blessed at the NEC …
No shit John.
If I met Brian Blessed the first thing I’d do is ask him: “Go on, say; Gordon’s alive!, go on, just say it, please….”. I just couldn’t help myself :o)
Yeah, but if this was a balloon debate, I know where my vote would go!
My vote would go for the balloon dance…
I met brian blessed at my graduation a few years back, he was absolutely brilliant, he did the gordon’s alive bit too!
PTC – Blessed had already done that one. Small man, big prescence, but get him talking on mountains and he knows his stuff.
I must admit the onlt time I’ve seen him was when he was doing Shakespeare.
Loud voice :o)
