Reflections on ole’ boxer?
Last night and Friday night I had the pleasure of spending some time with a friend of a friend who was a former boxer; having hung up his boxing gloves. Unlike many a former boxer he is quite a nice bloke who now does something non-boxing related. The most impressive thing, of course, is that unlike someone like Ali or Tyson he has lost none of his mental faculties. He does however have that dry sense of humour so prevalent outside the West End of London. It does rather remind of the infamous Maine sense of humour. I am going to introduce my beloved Kim and her family to the humour of Tim Sample (and friends) as not did he used to work with a distant relative of mine. His mother knew my Grandmother Dodge rather well. A fact which he told a whole bunch of autograph hunters the last time I saw him live.
