What was the name of the Baloo,whose wife was the Akela for the Brownies? They had a daughter too.

I can't remember which day was which now,but I think Begg was Wednesdays and I went to the other one.

Oh there was that bloke with the moustache, his daughter was in my year at Fulwell. Richardson maybe? I feel like I remember some scandal,but it's a long time ago now.

Think the blokes name was Wardle. Had 2 sons that were in the cubs with me. Was a lovely guy. Had a terrible stutter.
 
we didn't- we got all the machines that were going out of fashion- gave us more time to win our fortunes on the bandits, or getting off with the birds from Johnnies looking for real men, in the field behind the fair !

Yeah Duncan and Andrew, nice lads. He was heavily involved when I was there. I was born in 77 like so might be after you. Lovely man.

That's funny,they were from around the corner from me,I knew them as kids but wasn't really friends with them. Duncan will have been your age,I was born in 1978 and he was the school year above me. We went to the same schools to. They were definitely a nice family,I think my mam still speaks to them from time to time.

Maybe it was the other pack or whatever they were called to the one I went to. Begg wasn't involved with mine either.

Seldons was the HQ for the hard lads . mind you we did come down to your place when you got Gorf in, and you had the better driving games. Seldons was better for fruit machines.

aye old ma seldon. iirc the motorbike thing was like a proper dirt bike on rollers in a cage, it was right in the corner next to the pinballs. I remember going on when I was about 7 or 8 and was shitting myself. I cant remember anyone working on it, they probably didn't want any witnesses if someone got tangled up in the mechanism :lol:
