FOH Member Deep Dive - Episode #3: Ken Gargett

[MoeFOH]

Grab a cigar/drink.....give yourselves 90 minutes.....and listen to this drivel 

 

[Chibearsv]

Brilliant

Everyone's favourite moderator by farr as in the wine. Ken if you don't think AFL is the greatest game in the world watch Friday night's game. I reckon Dianna Ayala might agree with me. FOH WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU ! You are amazing  !

[Puros Y Vino]

Excellent video.  As a fellow moderator. I know Ken. But I don't really KNOW Ken.  This was an excellent synopsis on the enigma that is Ken. I absolutely loved the growing frustration on Rob's face as Ken's story was meandering between the North and South pole on that one story early on. 😁  Good ribbings all around.

Great stuff,  I particularly enjoyed:

Ken: "Auction's are a great place to take girls"

Rob: "Did you use a paddle?"

Considering the amount of smut and double entendre you guys have churned out in the past, I really enjoyed the fact that came out innocently and unintended, and also met no reaction.

1.25x though is my advice! Otherwise you'll need a second cigar and pint!

[Cigar Surgeon]

Great stuff.

Ken, -5C is a lovely fall / spring day.  The poor buggers who watch CFL up here attend games below -20C.

[Ken Gargett]

good lord. people actually watched this? 

thanks for the very kind words. i have not watched it yet so i am thinking that someone must have done a brilliant job editing it, if you can watch it.

Great interview, and I just realized this Ken is the same Ken who writes for Quill & Pad. 🙂

I’ve been into watches far longer than cigars, have been reading your work over there for years and years. It’s very cool to be able to put a face (and a, ahh, personality) to the writing.

i know bugger all about watches so when the owner asked me to contribute, i thought he was crazy, but he lets me write about the stuff i love. 

if you have been reading for a while, you might be interested to learn that Ian, the owner, was originally a sparkie up in Townsville. about sixteen planets from France and Switzerland. i met Ian 2nd half of the 80s when he drove a truck i was on for about seven months through Africa and Asia and we became good mates. he was a brilliant tour leader. we kept in touch. ian married a Swiss girl and decided he needed to do something in Switzerland. so it was clocks/watches or chocolate basically. things called blogs were just starting so he thought he'd give watches a go. and now has that incredible site. from nothing.

Great Job Ken! I really enjoyed your life story and I am sure more could be told if there was more time. Part 2 Deep Dive in the future maybe? 

[cnov]

Really enjoying the deep dives so far. I'd definitely go for a Part 2!

Basil died in a horrific manner? How sad.

I've been enjoying these deep dives. I was curious, and it wasn't covered, but will you ever revive your Kenfessions site @Ken Gargett ? Have missed those pairings and reviews.
