Dear Mrs. HF,

It takes little initiative to troll up to any perfume counter anywhere in the world and ask for Chanel no.5 but to spend time digging in some farmers turnip field braving the dangers of WW1 & 2 unexploded debris, well that takes dedication and thought. What more can I add ! What more could a girl ask?

PS anyone who can guess why I am on my own then write the reason on a £10 note and give to me at W & P :whistle:

Regards,

John.

Hi George,

Regret reading this post before going to the loo (Nurse, my bag's leaking again!!!) :whistle:

As this is a family forum and in view of the previous posts concerning where one likes to expose ones bucket I shouldn't say that hanging from the mirror could possibly mean that one likes to see ones chum coming from behind :whistle:

The card round a case of Guinness works just as well but you have to empty the case first.

Glad Dougiebader sent that last message, this was starting to sound like one of the M O's lectures on going ashore in foreign ports :nono:

John.

I think they are punishments for trying to jump the queue for H M V F clothing :whistle:

I knew (not in the biblical sense I hasten to add) some blokes at sea who wore skirts and sandals. They used to say once a queen always a queen :schocked:

Well done Paul, the 24 year old girl wouldn't be Gwendolene from The April 1st thread would it? :whistle:

John.

I remember as a boy seeing a photo of a London Transport Routmaster bus on four china teacups, it's all to do with the distribution of weight.

I am quite willing to empty four beer bottles for anyone who wishes to try the jeep on a bottle trick at W & P. You know me, all heart. :whistle:

John.

No. 6 Monty Python? :whistle:

John.

I think Desert Victory was about the battle of El Alemain and I think I've got it somewhere on tape, It's in black and white and it shows the British troops, I don't remember seeing a yank which makes a change. :oops2:
