The whole crew
The Dog’s 40th: it was a night none of the residents in South Woodham Ferrers will ever forget - mainly because Scott boomed out thumpin’ house tunes until well after 3am.
Del-boy, Mark, Scott and Andy: Germany 1995
Happy times - when we all had a lot more hair.
Scott, Rob, Andy and Mark: Somerset, October 1978
Many of you might not know that ‘The Harlow Branch’ met on the Essex billiard circuit in the late 70’s. Andy, Scott and myself were all pro-players. Rob was the local enforcer, while Del-boy ran a numbers racket.

Still competing, but in a slightly different format of the game - here we are shortly after winning the 2009 London Open Pocket-Billiards Championship. But I digress, this post is all about the Dog’s 40th birthday celebrations…
One of Scott’s presents was a Spurs shirt bearing his nick-name….
…the other was a number plate, bearing his nick-name. Don’t ever let it be said we don’t have class in Essex…
Scott’s birthday cake, with a football theme. Funny that…

The Barrel and Martin showing us all how it should be done
Me, shortly before dropping Fiona. Unfortunately, there isn’t as much of the old magic as there once was…
Martin still showing us how its done…
I can’t think of a suitable caption for this photo….
At about 2.30am the familiar sounds of an old 80’s Frankie Knuckles tune kicked in.
It’s good to know that as long as we’re fed some Chicken Biryani and regular Stella Artois then we can still keep going until the early hours!
