canary_82 0 Posted January 23, 2010 A huge thanks to all those who made various suggestions as to the fate of our once brilliant youth player William Callow. He had been found fit and well plying his trade for not one, but two North Norfork teams. Oh and he''s a pretty good barman too! OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Its moments like this that I truly love my determination to stay up late playing internet poker and drinking beer.It was a magical story, that will surely touch the heart of every pink''un poster.One man''s month long quest to find that elusive ex youth team player, who turns out works in a pub now.I only wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see the delighted look on his face when you found him.

canary_82 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Well, if I''ve somehow made you happy this evening then I can assure you It wasn''t my intention, though I''m more than glad to brighten up your Friday night. I can only suggest if a post doesn''t concern or interest you then dont bother replying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only suggest if a post doesn''t concern or interest you then dont bother replying[/quote]I was genuinely curious as to why you wanted to track him down, you felt it important enough to announce to the forum, so I assumed it would be of interest.And, despite me asking, you never really answered.

morty 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Honestly, initially I wasn''t taking the piss.Had you said "He''s a really good mate I lost touch with" I would have been genuinely happy for you.But to start a thread about something, and not really provide any real information will lead to people who are up late with nothing better to do (me) to just make their own story up.

canary_82 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Hmm, I dont think I actually said I wanted to track him down - infact the title says that i''ve found him?!!

Houston Canary 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Born in US to British parents, raised in Canada but been in Texas since ''87. I am very aware of sarcasm and use it a lot as do many of my more entertaining co-workers. You must be meeting to wrong Americans, or they don''t get the British references so don''t appreciate your sarcasm (and you don''t theirs just as likely). Or maybe they are just stick in the mud dullards. [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
