Now Gordon, I know I'm sticking my neck out here but what the hell, there's bugger all on the telly.

I've got to ask, what is the AAS you list on your "Battle honours" ?

Oh I'm in for it now !

Harrogate brat school, brum

Or to be more official

Army Apprentices School (Harrogate)

My dad went there in the early 60's! Bloody hell small world....he was a "fitter and Turner" no not a cook

I think your dad was probably at Arborfield, handler..Harrogate went all Royal Signals at the end of 61 when the last REs passed out.

Thank you for that Gordon...what year were you in Singapore? If thats not a personal question.

I was at RAF Changi from Dec 65 untill June 68.With a couple of breaks at Tanglin

LOL I was there from 1970 -1974

74??? It closed down in 71 and was handed over to the Singapore Air Force when Britain withdrew from Singapore

I did not know that. I was only about 1 when we where over there LOL born in 1969! We came back to Australia in 1974 from Singapore.
Sorry didn't mean to make you think I served over there

Oooops,,Me that should be sorry....I thought you were an old git like the rest of us on here

Just get me tin hat and flack jacket out of storage

Naw thats OK cobber , Iam only a young whipper snapper of 41
My mum fondly remebers her time over there and she said that she went to alot of memorable parties with the Brits that were there, my dad had transfered over to the Australian Army by then. My sister was nearly born in the back of a red MG being taken to the military hospital there.
I can still remember the geckos though!
Cheers

Don`t tell Teabag,He`s paranoid about that sort of thing.

Lord, what is it about you guys and the Welsh???? LOL

As for all the birthdays happening....I just had one (ugh) and am now officially past my mid-fifties. 57. Yikes. Never ever thought I'd be 57!!!!!

Whenever I look in the mirror, which I now try to avoid, I am constantly shocked at the old man peering back at me. See, to me I'm still in my 30s or maybe 40s with some hair left and only a hint of grey shooting through the sides....now? Far less hair (unless one counts the stray tufts I trim from out of and off my ears, eyebrows, and nostrils) and what hair I do have (I keep it buzzed) is cloudy day grey.

And, I find, I am being called "Sir" an awful lot by individuals I see as peers but are actually a good 20 years my junior. Ugh ugh ugh.....ahhh well, time marches on, doesn't it? Meh.....

News story here in Tasmania ,Welsh Pig Racing . Not sheep at all but pork! Oh well they race camels and jack russells....anyone for ferret trouser racing
