Does anyone have any stories about past or present Tenerife characters?
As it is my intention to depart these shores after many happy years, I look back and wonder... what ever happened to? You know the person I mean, the one who made you laugh, the one with the big story, the one who came into the bar and everyone listened to his or her latest story, the one you knew was lying BUT you listened anyway. They were thr ex millionaire, they ¨knew personally¨the person in O.K. magazine, they knew the guy who had won the lottery or better still it was them. O.K. I´ll start, Darren Ormisher, where are you now? god you were great. I think I had more fun with your stories than I did in bed with my missus, Did you really think anyone thought you boxed for England? Were we really supposed to believe you were on Man Uniteds books but gave it up to work in Santa Barbara?? Come back 1995 I was fit and healthy.
Come on beat that forum!!!!

haha - I used to work with a bloke like this - but in the Uk. Charlie was his name, Army, Navy, Police, Social worker(?), mechanic, electrician. I was 19 and working security at Centre Parcs - he was 28 and amazingly with all his skills and experience was doing the same job as me.... Must have liked the poxy wage and laid back atmosphere... Find these clowns everywhere - better to be pitied than scolded and great for a laugh!

When i opened my bar almost 4 years ago we had them all in, the ex footballers, the ex movie stars, the ex racing drivers, everyone we had in was famous, but in reality the only famous people we really had in were Chris Kamara, Adam Proudlock (ex Sheff Wed, Norwich and Stockport) and Andy Todd! And we also had an ex Blackburn Rovers player from the 60's who i am ashamed i can't remember his name for which i apologise should he be reading this forum.
Bless this Island. Everyone is a film star or something and everyone can do whatever you need them to do, if you have a job in your bar for an astronaut then you can guarantee everyone on this Island used to be an Astronaut! If you have a F1 car needs taking for a service then that bloke stood at your bar used to be an F1 driver and could take it for you. Get my drift?

Name some characters!! for those of us on the island for a number of years, David Tiplady...Is it true he buy/sold a caravan, I saw him drink a bottle of bacardi one night, not clever, but I couldn´t do it. In his time a legend
Andy .I remember Beachcombers manyyears ago when the Middlesborough boy had the bar. I was there the day of the 1 million peseta bet!!
Next to my boat were two loons who would bet on anything, I took them to Beachys for brekky, the footty was on( not my beloved everton) it was a Sunday, they bet 4000 pounds on a spread bet and it went down to one result that would have returned in excess of 600,000pounds, they went away hacked off with a profit, a full days booze and food, and I´ñve never seen them from that day to this
