It seems like you've got a talent for making friends.

I do now.

Not so much when I was younger.

I was a bit harder to connect with when I was younger.

Yeah, I think I've developed that skill.

I had to.

Yeah, I had to develop that skill and I enjoy it now.

I've nearly practically forgotten everything I learned at university and school but, yeah, I'm a real people person now.

I can get on with most people and, yeah, I enjoy having that skill.

Yeah, there were all kinds of characters at the Queanbeyan Bolo and it was a good place to just go sit and be and have a beer and feel comfortable and warm for a while and just have that companionship.

But also there were just some people there who were kind of wonderful.

in their unique ways.

Like, when I first got there, I said to a fellow, I kind of thought it was a bit of a downhill place there for a while, but then I just kept meeting these colourful characters.

I met a fellow there called Bill...

And he joined the Royal Navy in Britain when he was 15 years old and he started telling me his stories and I thought, oh, I think this guy is pulling my leg a bit.

But I went to his 80th birthday and I met all his friends who were called...

Darvill and the Gurkha and all this kind of thing.

Well, I was always like a lower division squash player.

But even at the lowest divisions, a good competition squash player is always going to be pretty tough to handle for just a social squash player, which I'd been previously.

So, yeah, I got some dreadful hidings for a while.
