I can't really cast too many aspersions here as Jackie has threatened to return from time to time to keep us on our toes. I guess, in a way, that Jackie is ultimately responsible for bringing me down to Bristol back in 1997 so any complaints about photos on this site relating to ASL..... please pen your complaints to Jackie.Garvey@axa.com
Seriously though, she certainly knows the 'work-hard, play-hard' rule which is very welcome in the tough, competetive area that is Systems Support.
All the best in France Jackie ! - Don't eat too many Big Macs on the Champs Elysees !! (mind you, this beef-war is all politics anyway isn't it ??)
Below are a few images of Jackie's last day in Bristol (for the time-being)........
The Sports Club Bar 17:15, 29th October 1999.... Claire Ackland tells Jackie to 'SIT' |
Jackie, showing the framed photo that millions would die for ! |
"He's not serving me.....I don't want earwax in my wine!" |
Claire, long-suffering camera-hater! |
Okay !!!.... I was tired....what is it ??.... The "sperm and the dragon" perhaps ? |
The collective "Bu**er off with that camera" look from Jackie and Darren Edwards |
Richard Farrell and Jan Packer. What lovely big wineglasses they had here ! |
Darren steals Claire's last potato-skin |
The Jan Packer, "Look at my ketchup stain" pose ! |
...... and then positions the wine-glass for the evening ! |
"No, I don't drink that..... it's German!.... I'm a French Girl now !!" explains Jackie |
While she is captivated, Claire steals a swig of Jan's drink! |
Who took this photo ??? |
"18 months working for me and this is what happens!", explains Jackie to Justin |
"Pssst.... he's a real pain with that camera but I bet he goes like a train !!" |
Andy tries to grease the palms for a job in SSDO |
The "Lambert & Butler and Chablis" still-life shot |
"Hey everybody !! , I'm free from the Servicedesk !!" |
Anne tries to remove Karen Johnson's head |
"I don't mind.... it's all alcohol anyway!" |
Jackie pulls 'Onion' out of her handbag |
Darren doesn't know whether to be scared or just astonished at what Claire's saying to him ! |
Justin, Andy and Jackie |
"She's gone !!..... get her a cocktail!" |
Arghhhh....that Blue !!! |
Claire looks depressingly into her empty glass |
Karen teaches Richard the 'offside' rule in Hockey |
The garlic-mayonnaise that Andy's been eating hits Claire ! |
The 'Karen Johnson - Gone at 21:00' pose |
Fags ! - a damn site better for you than a T-Bone in Rousillon ! |
Anne gives Jackie a lesson on dealing with french waiters |
"Cheers !", exclaims Richard as Justin looks horrified at the froth that Karen's just poured for him ! |
...... A great evening but I was a walking zombie due to the
Chablis Laura being down for half-term !!
All the best Jackie !
