I knew there had to be thread here somewhere...
The cast: Heather, my daughter, lives in Melbourne. She is being visited by my son Graham, who flew out there a day or so ago. Alistair Hung is a chap who used to represent Essex at chess when they did as juniors some 20 years ago. He grew up in Basildon. The odd date & stuff is because I've just lifted it from Whatsapp.
Heather: "I just got a text from Alistair Hung who is in Melbourne for a bit"
[22:56, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "I saw him a couple of years ago - he lives in NZ"
[22:56, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: 'Asked if I wanted to catch up while I’m here"
[22:56, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "I said yes lovely graham is also here let’s get a drink"
[22:57, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "Text graham to let him know"
[22:57, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "G: funny you should mention it a guy stopped us on the street this morning to ask for directions"
[22:57, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "I thought “that could be Alastair Hung” then immediately dismissed the thought cos it’s clearly highly improbable"
[22:57, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "I asked Alistair, did you stop a couple on the way to a yoga class this morning to ask for directions"
[22:57, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "In the Collingwood area?"
[22:58, 23/12/2019] Peter Walker: "And yes, he did"
