I once played pool against somebody who'd played pool against Jimmy White.

Schaaf was very polite, but is generally not known for being a chatterbox. I'll update this page as soon as I find out whether it was double or triple-glazing, but you may have to wait until the New Year, assuming he's prepared to divulge the information. Customer-confidence and all that.

I don't want to pester him over a relatively trivial matter, trivial to him perhaps, but extremely important to everybody else. One thing I did learn is that Schaaf has a massive telly, which I assume he uses to watch football. I'm wondering whether Schaaf signed the windows on a one-year loan, with the option to release them at the end of the season.

offlineMemberFor my part, I think Schaaf's judgement must be called into question if he has gone for anything less than triple. If the wind is in the east, it can get pretty parky over there . And if I had the money at my disposal I would be going for something with a favourable R-rating , perhaps in excess of 0.60 K•m2/W (2 h•ft2•°F/BTU).

I only got paid if they went through with it. Still, he was ace in the Wicker Man so I wasn't too annoyed at him.

offlineMemberI can confirm that Schaaf opted for double-glazing, but was not satisfied with some of the work and has called our friend back. Schaff requested him specifically which is no small compliment. I was also informed that Schaaf's daughter is "sehr nett" (very nice).

Just found out last night that a mate (not posh at all) gatecrashed a party with the soon to be Princess Diana. He tried to chat her up but said she was a "Stuck up Cow".
Oh, and Isla St Claire was in the same restaurant as Alan Moore with another mate serving. Aparently Isla said "Is that Alan Moore?" and when they told him he said"OMG, Isla St Claire!", apparently he is a big fan of hers. Honest, you can't make this stuff up.
There must be a link to Haile Salsie there somewhere.
