New in town.

Subject: New in town. 2/4/2012, 19:15

Just joined in.
Been lurking a while though.
I was at 7 Armd Wksp
9/12th Lancers LAD
2 RTR LAD.
I must have upset the bloke who dished out postings to get that little lot.
20 miles between postings, must be a record.
Hoping to bump into any one from back then who i knew or knew me.

Nice to be here

Malcolm cheers

You may be lucky Mal, got more chance than me I came from such a small group they are probably dead or can't read lol!

Subject: Re: New in town. 2/4/2012, 19:28

If i don`t find any old friends, new ones are just as good and welcome.

Subject: Re: New in town. 2/4/2012, 19:29

Welcome Mal, there are a few Donkey Wallopers on here!! Going on my experience of Movers Les, definitely the latter. Laughing

Subject: Re: New in town. 2/4/2012, 19:32

Either that or they have got themselves lost.

Subject: Re: New in town. 2/4/2012, 19:36

You are probably correct there Shelldrake, unfortunately the units I served in were so small, I have only come across 1 from Marchwood (and as he is Welsh it probably takes him a long time to reply with the translations and all that) 1 WRAC Sgt from Dusseldorf ( who I converse with on a regular basis) and 1 guy from training, what a motley crew lol!

Subject: Re: New in town. 2/4/2012, 19:53

Tell us a little bit more about the WRAC Sgt, Les. Laughing

Subject: Re: New in town. 2/4/2012, 20:01

Well Shelldrake, with the unit at Dusseldorf at that time we had 2 WRAC personnel that were available to help with Families, (overnight stays, flight delays) and this just happened to be one of them, very nice Lady, she actually recognised me first, to be honest although I remember them all I did not expect that they would remember me, lovely Lady drunken

How can you have WRAC and "lovely lady" in the same post Question

Subject: Re: New in town. 2/4/2012, 23:49

Gordon, quite simple really, if I had photo's of that time I would post them and you would see for yourself, very nice and good company in the bar during the evenings, great times, I know that would not be the same for all but then that works the other way round also, the one I am in contact with is still a lovely lady and a Grandmother lol!

On a visit to Hong Kong we went for a trip on a junk which included a visit to a restaurant well-frequented by ex pats and well known for its delicious food.

During a visit to the Little Boys Room a wrong turn took me to the kitchen. It looked exactly like the one in the photo b! affraid

Sticking my head above the parapet again.

During my time we, at "The Sharp End", never really encountered WRAC personnel.

From what I did see of them, some were gorgeous and some looked like a page out of "Viz" magazine. A bit like squaddies, really.

Wanna see "Gorgeous" ? Take a look at Dutch Indonesian women.

When I was doing my Barracky Bill for Queen and Country some of the kitchens on March Out looked like that. Guess who were the worst offenders? affraid
