Funny how you remembered your history so fast - better than hearing it all again eh?
Some are born smart and some are as bright as a lighthouse in the desert but good for feck all. I would fall into the latter category in the regimental history questions.
Were you a 4th by any chance GD, i thought that sorta driving would have been a regular thing for you's, or was it left and right yous got mixed up with
No mate, as the 4th were amalgamated in 1922 I think you could safely say I wasn't around then. anyway their motto was Quis Seperabit.
No that motto is the immediate predecessor of Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense. You might recognise that and if you don't may I respectfully suggest you look at your capbadge LOL
Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam!
Well first choice would be to slap the driver on the head the second choice would be to slap the driver on the head and third well i could be a sarcastic bugger and ask a passerby for a push
DOH! So thats what he meant by all that and here i thought he was only jibbering about a pile of nothing. what size of a tea flask had you got, sounds like you were partial to a brew or 2 or 3 or so. ive seen lunch boxes like wheelie bins but never a tankie friendly flask, if i had 1 of those theyd probably load it as round!
Actually what you're suggesting did happen to one of our tp sgts. One of the other loaders shoved the flask up the tube for a laugh. Because there was no obturation it went off weaker than a penny banger and who do you think was the wallah who had to file the number off the spare round and bury it? No not me - my oppo LOL
You can't beat a BV - but not on ranges unfortunately.

bet it was a right laugh, i had a cracking big thermos flask it was something you'd see on the under carriage of a plane, it was a cracking big thing. Took up more space than my rifle but we had great brews, until 1 of the guys decided to be funny and put it infront of the track saying that it would stop the tank from rolling forward! lol as if! lol well the driver who i shall not mention drove forward and left my flask mangled!
A day of dehydrated and hungry tankies because the buggers didnt bring food. i would have ate the crotch of a low flying duck i was that hungry. Although we did return early with so called mechanical problems
Do you not have a BV anymore and do you not get rations on short trips?
Yeah we do but as you know the rations arent exactly filling. Been through every type of sauce to mix with them even resorting to closing my eyes and picturing something different to no avail. im gonna stick the ration box up the barrel, maybe even get a secondary explosion from the treacle pudding but hell life goes on.
No matter how bad you are there's always worse.
