Some of the older hands may remember Pete from the Bilibong surf and sports bar in Bophut, a real character.
Passed a few nights ago in Sydney, his wish is for his ashes to rest in a Wat in Thailand. Dang, his wife is trying to arrange that.
RIP Pete. Jim
Was Pete a sandy-haired guy originally from NZ?.
He was originally from Liverpool if its the guy I'm thinking of.
He was not old.
Did he win the european cup with Villa ?
If his name was Peter WitHe he might have done.Quote:

He was fairly well known on the island for many years. Jim
Didn't his wife get trapped under a trapped car and get badly burnt a few years back ? I remember an appeal going out for someone of the same name. Can't say I knew the guy as I don't really do themed bars at all.
That's him, his wife Dang is still having skin grafts. JimQuote:

It wasn't a themed bar as such, just a decent bar by the sea attracting a good mix of folk. Got terribly pissed there one night drinking flaming B52s and ended up back in the Lodge hotel in some disarray, nursing a huge hangover and a rather pleasant whoopsie whose presence at the time was somewhat a surprise.
Happy days. Was he one of the CoCo partners who ended up fleeing creditors.
The yank would have been Kurt, who in fact was born in the UK, the B52s would have been started by bananna Pete or spiky Pete as he was know.Quote:
