| [quote="Shelldrake"]Just had a hard night in the Caravans behind The Bustard, Old Boy.
Last time I was in that area all the OPs were camped opposite the pub, in bivvys.
Two things I remember. Eating enormous mushroom sandwiches, picked from the surrounding fields and lying in our gonking bags listening to a bunch of Fijians from 7 Para heading back to Rollestone camp, howling like banshees.
God those buggers can drink ! | |

| Les,
Further to uploading your picture (when you have registered etc) When you have browsed for your picture in Photobucket, then uploaded it etc, you will see this : --------------------------------- YOUR PICTURE --------------------------------- Email & IM oooooooo Direct link oooooooo HTML code oooooooo IMG code oooooooo IMG thumb oooooooo --------------------------------- The IMG Code is a large picture & IMG thumb is what it says. Choose either by placing mouse cursor of the one you want, click then go to you out message in the forum and click 'Paste' and thats it. Your picture should appear. You can confirm by pressing 'Preview' before you send.

| I like it John Boy. On ebay there is a complete set of Gurkha band minatures for sale - just type in Royal Signals on ebay. They are a bit expensive but don't come anywhere near the expense of a real band, even although the Gurkhas are on equal pay. | |

We were watching "The Dambusters" at work one day (about the same time that Sharon Stone's leg-crossing demonstration appeared on video) and everybody was on the edge of their seats, waiting to see if the dog's name, "Nigger" had been edited out. Has it happened yet ? | |

| In the June edition of BBC news for Lincolnshire, commenting on the remake of the Dambusters currently being carried out, they say the dog will be renamed 'Digger'Another name suggested by Sir David Frost (the Executive Producer) in talking to the Daily Mail is 'Nigsy'. A name sometimes used by Wing commander Gibson.
Talking about the name 'Digger', anyone serving at 7 Signal Regt might remember 'Digger'. I do and he liked beer & kitkat chocolate. (useless info) | |
