The phone box in the picture, is at Bellewstown still there, as monument😎 Without our modern technology blocking the only phone line on the course stopped the bookies from hedging. Got to love this ""You always like to do things that nobody else can do. It was a massive touch at the time. I went on to buy Middleton House [a stately home] in Mullingar. Very few people would have had more than a quarter of a million in cash in 1975." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nampla69 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Just read the awful news that Dave Barwise aka Barsie is dead aged 39. Loads of BMs on here knew him from Secrets days and Phil's bar later. Think the Pretty Bitch may have introduced him to his lovely wife Pla. Devoted couple. Nicest fella you could wish to meet was Dave a gentle soul. RIP young Barsie at least you'll have plenty of luggage for your next journey. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
