OOOOO Farmer Rowley


Big up to the Lishmanator!

Try this one for size baby. Wallop. Farmer Rowley has finally got an email address for the first time in his life just so he can send you a message to wish you goodluck for your wedding. Apparently this is a combined effort from him and Cow number 10 so, let's milk it for all it's worth!

Alan,

I have put a few words together about all the wonderful and happy memories I have of our times together! It feels a little bit like you've hit the big time and Michael Aspel is tsanding my with a big red book saying Alan Lishman this is your life so I will put it in the third person and hope you guess my voice. So here goes.....

I met alan in 1991 at school and we really became very good mates in third year before being put in the same group for our field study when we started our gcse course work. Being supremely intelligent beings unlike thick boy Sanderson (who was always in a lower number set like one for retards), we were in the same geography and business studies set where we got to know each other because we both knew pete. During these lessons we became good friends, im not sure which way round it was now but i think we used to copy each others work and get up to alsorts of mischief like hide under the desk and sneak Pete into class without Mr Kaye noticing!! We also had a good old laugh with Farmer Bailey.

Out of school we would also meet up on my farm and play sensible soccer and football at west view (I always scored loads of goals when I was up front with him - he was the Sheringham to my Andy Cole), tennis at broughton club and also go and watch pne. Great days if you try and forget the results and wallow more in the experience.

When i was 16 and passed my tractor test i would go round to your house at ingol on the 7740 and tour around. After we left school we would meet up and one of the first pubs we could get served in was the north star then when we learned to drive we would go to peppermint place in blackburn every saturday night where we had to wear white shirts and waistcoats so that we could get in (must of looked older!).

One of the funniest nights when we were out was when pete was driving and you and me were pissed courtesey of bernard. when we were on our way home alan needed to releave himself so we stopped at the side of the A59 as soon as alan stepped out of the car pete sped off. we drove for a few hundred yards then turned around to see alan running for his life towards us!! There are so many stories such as school raves and when dennis came over from holland and we had a party in petes loft and ended up being sick down the roof off cider.

So all thats left for me to say is we have had some good times and i still consider you a good friend even though you now live so far away so all the best for the the future in your marriage to belinda im sure you will be happy together have a fantastic day and enjoy it!!

Love Paul (farmer rowly) esther,daniel,jack and Cow number 10

Blimey - thanks Farmer-rama. He's got a good memory hasn't he although we need to learn on the capital letters me thinks. Some great memories to treasure there. I'll never forget his 7740. Apparently we are now onto the fifth cow number 10 since school which really does make me feel old.
