Does anyone really want Darren as a partner?

 Iron Man Darren Miles odd man out?  First he is partnered with Mark Litton, then he is partnered with Fricking Peters and finally with Bedlam himself Mr. Richard Bellm.

Both Darren and Richard have what is best described as unorthodox shots.  Good luck to both. 

Here are thoughts from first Richard and then Iron Man.

How do you think your team will do in this year’s Calcutta?  Who do you think will win it all?

Jonas and Philp look tough to beat. 

What is one team you really want to beat in this year’s Calcutta and why?

Jonas and Philp because if we can do that ……

Who is your favourite and least favourite hockey team and why?

The Leafs on both counts for the endless comic relief I get from their fans

Where did you grow up?

In Southern England

Describe something that happened during Covid that left you scratching your head?

People driving alone wearing a mask

 

Who will you miss most from this year’s Calcutta and why?

  1. Gary Long

  2. Brent Hurtubise

  3. Mike Donnelly

  4. Norm Crook

None of the above _ Ray Pozzo would make things interesting

 

Provide a name and brief description of a series you enjoyed watching on Prime or Netflix?

Really Liked the 4 part Monty Python retrospective and the new release of “Glass Onion” is brilliant.Both non Netflix

 

What are you looking forward to most in 2023?

Figuring out retirement

How do you think your team will do in this year’s Calcutta?  Who do you think will win it all?

Richard will carry us in the first couple of matches but will wear out from the burden in the third round. 

 

Bob Parsons and whoever his partner is will take the day.

 

What is one team you really want to beat in this year’s Calcutta and why?

Although I love the guy – I can’t lose to Andreas – he just picked up the doubles racquet!

 

Who is your favourite and least favourite hockey team and why?

Favourite – Leafs as I am a masochist. 

Least Favourite - Montreal – see my team above…..

 

Where did you grow up?

I never did…….

 

Describe something that happened during Covid that left you scratching your head?

Everything that happened during Covid left me scratching my head.

 

Who will you miss most from this year’s Calcutta and why?

a.      Gary Long

b.     Brent Hurtubise

c.      Mike Donnelly

d.     Norm Crook

 

Gary – as I feel bad for all the lonely chairs in the restaurant that will go without a dance partner. 

 

Provide a name and brief description of a series you enjoyed watching on Prime or Netflix?

Gary (never wrong) Long and his Majestic Adventures in Far Away Places.  Basically, Gary with a GoPro strapped to his head in various locations around the world allowing the viewer a window into the never dull Gary World.  I have only seen the live action trailer to date – it was very strange but you can’t stop watching.  Can’t wait for the first episode being released in late January.  I believe the title is “Gary Checks the Plumbing in Thailand”.

 

What are you looking forward to most in 2023?

The Leafs winning the Cup!!

 Nice shoes

Here's a pic of Richard trying to make a shot from outside the court.


Iron Man in happier days.  Lots of gas required to cover 80% of the court.
