berni Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 unless you are into d*gging etc i'd keep well away from the Birdlip view point. I bet they all wondered what on earth was going on. it is not a place i have been to after dark but i have heard all about it. :angel: next time anything like that happens watch how you bend over. :whistle: Apparently there is a special code you can flash out with your headlights :-o to let others know its all clear to start. chuckling at thought Berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainmilitary Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Your welcome Rambo hope to see you all next year. We are starting work on it as soon as I get all the dust out of my eyes, ears and places you don't want to know about. Thank you for coming. Pete and Yogi would like fairy cakes and I will have one of those big chocie cakes you had. The danceing girls are booked. :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainmilitary Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Your welcome Dougy glad you got home safe, did Dave get back OK? Pete has not stopped talking about his ride in your FV432 all day. One of the young lads got in the front before Yogi and ajusted the seat with out him noticing. Thanks for making the trip and hope to see you all next year. You never know we may be poping over to Kemble for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Nice to see you all enjoyed yourselfs. I thought you was all staying sunday night as well and returning Monday. Well Ian, the truth being was that the duty Range warden (cant remember his title) caused a few ruffled feathers :n00b: also on the sunday there was up to 4000 walkers/runners on the plain doing a sponsered walk/run many of which got a good coating of dust by persons unknown :dunno:, and with local disputes being fought over it was decided to break camp on the Sat PM. but after a 35(+-) mile off road drive i belive we all thought that the weekend was complete as could be and with rain in the offing it was best to head for the hills.

plainmilitary Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Cool to see you on board Cris It was the new land warden that stuck the spanner in the works, he has now been demoted to sh*thouse attendant :rofl: :rofl: At the end of the day Steve was only doing his job. The big cheese that turned up was the RSO ( Range Safety Officer ). I rang Bob Burgess today at Westdown camp and he is still a bit bemused with the whole incident. After all the hickups early on the rest of the weekend went off with no other probs apart from me not packing my sleeping bag and freezing my chadds of all night, but im a man I can handle it NOT. Like Ash said what with rain inbound I think we timed it smack on. It rained most of monday morning with some heavy down pours. Good time was had by all with no break downs apart from me and Yogi having a nervous break down Saturday morning. All the guys at plain Military says hello :wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddington Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thanks Tony & team for a good w/end,it was certainly a good crack :-D especially seeing as hardly any of us had ever met before.Certainly the words dust & orifices crop up in most conversations about it. :rofl: Tony I promise to try and fix the "Norman Collier"intercom system on the 434 for next time :whistle: and you can tell Roy in the pub the 'gnome'will return. Anyway look forward to seeing you all again somewhere.Anyone coming to Kemble please call at our tent for a cuppa Cheers DaveP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plainmilitary Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Nice article Jack got it spot on old chap. Did you keep a log or have you got a photogrphic memory? Can I just say that Dave and Dougys vehicles are FV432 & FV434 not AV. Thought I should say something before Dave smacks you around the back of the legs with a wet fish. Dave seams to know alot about fish :rofl:. What are the dates for Kemble? we will be there for the day, not sleeping in that tent again.
