032 - Emma Rowley
The last of my facebook friends at the dinner. Emma is marrying the brother of 031. I've met Emma a few times and she seems a really nice girl. Had a chat with her about MND because she has worked with patience on her ward who have the disease. Hammers home exactly why I am doing this quest
031 - Jonty Williams
So this is the guy who is going out with 030. I know what you are all thinking, 030 could do better.
Jonty has been a friend of mine every since he started working at Keele Hall when he was 16 years old. We have both since left Keele Hall but remain good friends.
Good lad, although his estimation of facebook friends present was a little off the mark ;) and it looks like we have taken this picture in hawaii

030 - Emma Louise
So the exact situation I was looking for had arrived. I had
been invited to join a dinner that potentially could have up to 8 facebook
friends attending. This could be immense. Turns out it was only half immense as
there was only 3 at the dinner who were facebook friends. The others were
either not there or refused to have a pic because they were in their work
uniform - named and shamed Tasha Grocott. The day did get more immense when I
was offered some homemade apple pie that was incredible.
Anyway, one person who was there was Emma Louise, another
Keele Hall employee, although didn't work there when I did, she has ended up
going out with a good friend of mine, so I know her from that really. Nice girl
and really grateful for the pic :)
029 - Gary Strang
So the night started by meeting up with 002 and her other half to go out for a meal. I grabbed my bag, and 001 asks 'Why are you taking you bag?' to which I replied 'It has my facebook friend t-shirt and board in, because you never know who you may bump into'
How right I was. After a lovely meal, we then went to my old local pub where, to my amazement, sat in the lounge area (the posh bit) was another local poker legend. Gary Strang.
A few things I should mention about this picture. Firstly, I was a little bit drunk, and secondly the photographer (001) was a little bit drunk, and this led to the flash not being put on the camera, and me saying the pic looked ok. It was only when I sobered up the next day when I reaslied the picture was a little bit dark.
Really good sport to have some drunk guy in a facebook friends t-shirt harrassing him on his quiet night out with the missus , and let me have a picture with him.

028 - Julie Holloway
Long term partner of Mr Millennium Driveways himself 028 http://www.millenniumdriveways.co.uk/
Again, as with 027, I class her as a great friend, such great company on a night out and some would say better poker player than 027 ;)
Happy to call 028 a true friend, it's just a shame about the top

027 - Kev Bloor
This blog comes with a disclaimer. I can only apologise for the shamless plugging in this blog.
First of all I have to mention how good Millennium Driveways is. Me and 001 had our driveway done by Millennium Driveways, as did Lisa Wade and 005, and I have to say it is perfect, and I can't speak for Lisa Wade and 005, but they were very happy with it too (not ours, theirs).
So for all your driveway needs, please visit http://www.millenniumdriveways.co.uk/ and tell them the nutter that's trying to meet 730 people sent you :)
On to Kev 'Millennium Driveways' Bloor. I started playing live poker many many years ago, and their was a small group of local poker players that used to meet every so often and play poker against eachother. Hopefully over the course of this quest I will meet up with most of those players again. Kev Bloor and his good lady, Julie Holloway (who you may see in a moment or two) were two of those poker players, that are no longer just poker players to me, they are good friends. We have shared trips to Dublin, blackpool, nottingham, meals out, meals in (yes I do still owe you one).
If I take something out of playing poker (and it isn't usually money) I will take their friendship. Absolute legend, and, mark my words, Kev will win big at some point. He is that good.
But in the meantime, go buy a drive off him http://www.millenniumdriveways.co.uk/
