Drinks At Percies - the early wrap

Well we had a decent roll up somewhere between 25 and 30 blokes - some notable absences (Noble, Wyllie?) and a bloody good time. After a few minutes the years literally rolled away. It was amazing to see how so much had changed and so much had stayed the same. For many some demons were exorcised, for others just a few beers were sunk. Bobby Weiss dropped in for a visit. memories began to flow just like the Tooheys New.
Ben Brown summed it for me in one of many great soliloquies (I hope he remembers it cos it was after many bevvies) - "You guys knew me before I put on the heirs and graces of being an adult, before i decided who i would be and presented myself to the world. In some ways you know me more than anybody I meet in my life today ever can". then he started on about going to the Iron Maiden concert in '85 and sinking lots of tins with headbangers but it was all very profound.

Having been the only NSBH to have attended the Iron Maiden '85 with Ben, I'm sad to have missed this.

Will see you all in March
