Suppose he means "all over the place"?

I say "as you were", usually to myself when I cock up. Say again of course. Nichts Verstehen (sp?), Ich weis es nicht (sp?)

I just can't understand why people look at me in a daft way when I do it? Shocked

Cornflakes still get called "Soggies"- (the cooks used to hot milk on them in the winter).

Underpants still get called "Shreddies"

Like Teabag, I still use "As you were".

Bits of radio procedure still crop up but that is partly due to it's usage when I was on the Ambulance Service.

Trouble is, Gordon, we can't, (don't want to), let go !

Tank Commanders were never lost in QOH. When challenged they allways said "I was following a contour line".

Yeah right, one that led straight into Schwindebeck !

I hadn't realised how many army expressions I still use.

One of the most descriptive I've ever heard is "Kit Check", to describe the result of someone throwing up.

To the puzzlement of most civilians, I still say

"Stand Slack",
"Out of Action"
and that old favourite-"Buckshee".

Hmmmm....it's been many years since I hung around you lot, and learned how to speak the sort of English you all insisted was "English" so let's see if I can figure this sentence out....

"I was really really drunk last night, shit-faced, and woke up this morning with a girl so ugly she needed two bags over her head..." the only thing I can't figure out is what Gopping means...do I even want to??? affraid

Ich bin forlorn....

Now, not sure of the real spelling of "forlorn" auf Deutsch (it could be verloern (an umlaut over the 'o') as I think of it) but I find it interesting the similarity between it and the English word "forlorn" also meaning a bit lost, but emotionally lost....I found a lot of German words were very close to English or at least Old English but then the two languages do share the same roots....

And just how in hell do you "lose" 60 tonnes of vehicle????

(patting down one's pockets)...I know I had it here a second ago....! tongue

You are on the right track Stephen !

File "Gopping" (a word that emerged in the late 70's),
under "Generally disgusting".

Most of the words that describe a remarkably ugly woman could all fit under the title "A five pinter".

We must keep these things simple if we can.
