Over the years , I have come in contact with and  given  the honorary title of F.O.C to many individuals, -- If I wuz to put em all on my web page, I believe I may use up the entire memory on www.

I have chosen a few to start with -- some old friends some recent additions!.  But - all of them great people in their own special way.

                                          The Cromptons.  ( The No 1 Poms)
Tom -- was my childhood buddy from the  day I could walk , We shared all the 'little people' experiences and did everything together,  -- He even forgave me when I pinned his hand to a coal shed door with a  dart. we drifted apart in the late sixties when he 'fell in love',  We reformed our friendship after his marriage and becoming Saturday Rugby pals, Tom also acting as my councillor to keep me from the evils of life!, and Gawd did I need it! .
Rosemary -- Toms chilhood sweetheart and still his best friend -- instrumental in bringing us together again in year 2000 via Email 'magic'  -- Rosemary admits to being the worlds greatest 'Rugby widow' during the season  -- Think that she may just shade Wigan Warriors for Toms affection.  ( maybe not!!  )

Dawn -- The product of my two friends union,  A beautiful young lady with a love of travelling, -- she called in on us during her world trip and introduced us to
Dave --- Married into the Crompton clan, Dave must have somethin' special -- for a non rugby person to be allowed to marry Tom's lil' girl!
  My experience with Dave ( although very short), indicates that the guy must have been a winner of the Duke of Edinburgh award for Bullshit creating!.  --- Love em all!

Simmo
  Alias david Simmens -- Ex boss and all round nice guy Yank.  -- just taught me how far a person can go before the system demolishes them -- fabulous guy who is believed to be a secret behind doors Bootscooter!.
Sometimes helps me wiv sortin' out computer problems -- but at times a little too quiet!.

Les (The Lagger)
  Name given for lez's chosen profession -- not his ability to dob on mates.  -- not social mate but love his stories at work -- Seen a lot of life and nearly drank me to death on the one occasion that we socialized .

Lez's arm is wider than my hips -- so hope he dont mind me callin him Sir!.
