Retrosexuals from days gone by
A lot of adoration does come the way of the current line up of the Retrosexuals and because of such Retro-mania I thought it was time that some of the under-appreciated former members of the merry band that is The Retrosexuals to get the air time that they deserve…
BULLET POINT if you don’t get a mention then you obviously have never been a Retrosexual
First up…
Laura Baxter a.k.a The Baxter or Lou
Laura was actually one of the fabulous four that started up the Retrosexuals and if I remember correctly it was actually Laura who told us about the pub quiz in the first place, so you could be as bold as to say Laura created the Retrosexuals. She has recently not come as often as we would like but there is a seat waiting for her on her return!
Becca Dean
Poo Bum Poo Bum! Becca joined us a lot last year and was amazingly great in offering lifts home for us walkers (me, Kev and Paul) and always offered a smile! Also, she will always be remembered for having the best trampoline in her back garden that me, Kev and Paul played on at her birthday party!
Debs
Debs (She’s so cool that she doesn’t need more of a name than that…she’s like Bono or Cher) used to work at the co-op with the Baxter and joined our merry bunch almost from the start. She used to keep me company as a smoker in the team and was always sharing her rollies with me. Also, her cousin is Gav Moss and she dressed up as a cowgirl at a fancy dress party so how could she not be cool?
Brett
Brett was Debs’ boyfriend and we used to rely on him for the difficult weird questions about art that he seemed to know. Brett was always good for being a round and also joined me and Debs as the smokers. Brett is now the manager of Zest nightclub in Ipswich.
Jilly
I’m not really sure how Jilly came into the pub quiz team, none of us went to school with her or went out with her, she just arrived one day. I think she went to church with Mark and Paul but I’m not sure. Jilly was very useful when it came to questions that needed actual intelligence.
