Do we make deductions for time spent in prison?

Hi Umish,

I think Blue left just before I started, he was most probably replaced by Paul Meek, whom I mentioned earlier. There were a few "legends" out there, we kept a book for comments and "stories" I wonder if it's still out there? I think Gareth Murcutt (renal) looked after it for a while. One name that just popped into my mind is Jimmy Jaap, now there was a story teller.

I worked with Jimmy - I may even have been his best man (it's all rather hazy...!) wink

Last I heard of him he moved to Australia. Got any more recent news?

I remember Blue ... fair hair, blue eyes!

But James Jaap! My Goodness ... there's a name I haven't heard for 25 years or more!

[sigh] ... no wonder I'm starting to feel a bit old! frown

More names required? Here's a few more (in no particular order):-

1) Bob Boon
2) Huw Palmer
3) Robin Brown
4) Tony Patel
5) Ian Dickson
6) Uffe Schwender
7) Ian Brooks
8) Derek Mousley

Anyone (else) remember Dave Cooper, or Dan Canty? smile

I can always dip into my names bag and pull out a few more!

Geoff,Bob Boon left Yanbu before you arrived and when he left he promised himself that he would never to return to Saudi, maybe he has kept that promise, trying to remember where I met Derek, but that memory is somewhat blurred.

@Neil

Bob Boon had a cottage in Ireland. But surely he was too young to retire? I have heard Bob "maligned" by a few people over the years, but personally I regarded him as a damned good biomed!

Derek was once well known as a "lab kit king"! But it's been many years since I've heard his name mentioned.

What became of your mate Huw (Palmer)?

Meanwhile, I have heard of Robin working occasionally on the agency circuit here in the UK. I still remember meeting him for the first time at the very same hospital at Jubail mentioned earlier by you and Tony. Robin was with Global at the time (remember them ... Mo Powell?). smile
