Champion Crouch's Corner

Welcome to the home of Crouchy, Champion Crouch, Crazy Legs, The Messiah, TC, Timmah!, Timbo or just Tim ... whatever you want to call me!

The objective of this site is to keep family and friends in touch with events in Sally & my lives. This is especially relevant for times when we are not able to keep in regular contact. I suspect this site will become a journal that gathers dust like leather photo albums and I laugh to think that my children and grandchildren will look at it (oh dear - some of this is adult only and cringe worthy).

I spent the majority of my first 20 odd years living at 27 Canons Parade, Forestville. Eventually, my brother and sister (Danny & Sacha) moved out and after the loss of my father, Mum & I moved to 2/2 Dudley Street, Balgowlah (1999). Mum had a gutful of city life after 4 more years and moved a couple of hours north of Sydney and a bit inland (that is where Mum met Col who is soon to be officially part of the family). I moved in with my sister for a year until my partner (Sally) & I moved to London (2004-2005).

Sal and I meet in 1997 (while working at Flemings, Supermarket; our first date was to Berry Steet Tavern!) and we had never lived together until we moved to London. After a year away from Australia (most of it spent living at 258 Lillie Road, Fulham), we decided to return downunder. We now live with Sally’s family (parents Howard and Diane and brothers Chris and Stuart) while we get everything organized and there are only few considerations with our first Sydney residence – (i) it must be within walking distance of water (be it the harbour or the beach), (ii) it must be within 1 hour of work (most likely the city), (iii) and if possible, within an hour of the majority of our friends & family.

Besides travel and family, other special people and events get a run on this site.

• Mates from school,
• Basketball mates (our team, the Sentinels have been playing together for nearly a decade and two dozen seasons),
• Soccer mates (the small but proud Forest Killarney club),
• Cricket friends (that same proud Forest Killarney club),
• Sal’s friends (who are sometimes, often mistakenly referred to as the “Davo Crew”),
• Work friends (GrainCorp, Hornbill and hopefully Ericsson in futures days),
• ... and others.

Who knows what adventures are to come ...
