New Friend

I  have a new friend at the gym. His name is Ian. The picture here shows Dan, not Ian. Ian is 69 years old. Pretty fit!! Wirey even, and in the gym everyday, every morning keeping fit. He's ex RAF. Trained in radar. When he demobbed he took a teaching degree in Maths and then in Mechanics. I'm hoping that Ian will let me take his photo so I can put him on my Blog. He did a teaching degree in Bristol and taught in Bristol and Chepstow. He has a daughter here in Chepstow who teaches English. She has two small children. We have become bosom-buddies!! We crack jokes. We empathise and sympathise. We swap stories. I tell him a about an event in my life and he comes back with something equally wierd or obscure. We both do the Goons, Tony Hancock, Tommy Cooper and Les Dawson !!! All the time, by the way, doing press-ups, squat-thrusts and bench-presses!! It's great!! I save up one-liners for him......which I bet he's never heard before. Every morning .......as I drive to the gym...... I think.........what shall I hit him with today?!!!!!
