Ladies and Gentlemen I am Deeply Touched by the nice stuff said about me, but those who know me know that I've been
Deeply Touched for bloody years anyway!!!
Basket Weaving? Piece of piss!! My basket at RNH Haslar was twenty foot high and towards the end of it the trick cyclists were worried that I may have fallen and broke me neck whilst trying to get to the top of it to finish it off!
When I first started posting on here and our sister site I was a tad short and to the point. But over the years I have come to realize that most posters are young lads, young lassies, people who are at a crossroads in their lives, people who have had enough of (in some cases) being the dog bollox at their first career choice, but to a man and woman have no idea about the way of the armed forces (Apart from the Owd and bold, people who have served or are serving). Be it our humour, our way of speech, or indeed our way of life.
I've met up with a fair few of the people who grace this site. Mostly Bootnecks because thats what I was, but I've also met people from other branches of the forces and to a man and woman they have been smashing people.
I like to think that I've helped people with real problems, supposed problems, no problems and the odd Eeijut who was a problem! For me the best thing that resulted from my joining the site was meeting the lady I now live with. Flighty.
She ain't posted in a while due mainly to various things that have no bearing to the site. But thats between her and her god. I've also been invited once or twice to attend King Squad Passouts,
I did indeed attend one but the name of the guy who invited me escapes me! Suffice to say his Troop did the Corp of Royal Marines proud. My problem was once the pass out had finished I ended up in the Sgt's Mess getting ringbolted and ended up staying in a cabin (sorry, really sorry to the bloke who just happened to be in the room next to mine for swamping in his Locker! Well! Me brain told me that I had to leave the room, turn left and left again and Lo and Behold there was the Loo!).
"We all make mistakes! As the Dalek said leaping off the dustbin!!!"
As to the best poster, the best soldier, the best shag, the best......Sorry shag wern't included was it? I'll delete that (Nar leave the bugger!)
Question 1. To me it always going to be the first post by a new member. It lets me know what they are made off.
Question 2. Anyone who wants to meet me (even Stinky!!!!
Joking sunshine! Your getting better as you get older).
Question 3. Anyone who signs in and then does not bother to post unless they jump on the bandwaggon when some poor buggers getting shite for a silly/inane/pointless post (people like that are gutless and to my mind not suitable for the forces. Helping your Oppo should be the most important thing you can do during training because someday they will help you).
Question 4. My last post in the RM Misc Disc ref following though (Shitting yourself!).
Question 5. Anyone whos hacked training. And is considered by their various training teams to be Ok to serve as a fully fledged member of the Armed Forces (Be it RM, RN RAF, Army, your trained, so I will trust you, cock up and then risk me or my fellow servicemen/women then you can stand by for me and the others to get you up to standard ASAP!) As it is I'm
OWD!!! and long past my sell by date so Flighty keeps telling me. Oooo she can be so nasty so she can!!!
Question 6. ME!!!! Cos I'm the best thing since sliced Yaks Butter!
Artist
Anyone bigger and harder than me would be welcome
