Hi to you all .
Nice to see there are so many sunshine commandos still alive , It was hard work giving up chisk, hop leaf and blue all at the same time.Any how Ginge Pinington here F troop Salerno Company, 41CDO , CTC and off couse privat room Colchester( I only hit the sprog once I swear). If theres a run ashore on I'd love to be their,(please no MP's). Went out to Malta for my 40th, the only thing that had changed was my knicks un socks. Patchiville, Surfside, Bannachies, the restaurant in the shit house all still their.Any one know were Tanzi Lee or Yoggie Waterhouse got to. George Hunt , Mac Macalume, Bill Hunter and all the sprogs from 227/226 Troops CTC, sent to Malta because we were to young to go to war ( what punishment, Many thanks to the beer gods)
Mel Howe hows the Austin Allegro (nice colour) did it ever make it back to the Uk?.
So if its bag rats and goffers(hands off Henry Phelps there for the inlyers) at the range up at Golden Bay with Guys in Disguise and a disco count me out , If its a DTS that goes on forever, plenty of hop leaf a cuddle with Mary Rose ( she must be still waiting for me) I'm in.

Cheers Lads were ever you my be let me know when the war stories start I'll be there.

Ps. Who was that C%*# of a Company Commander

Its now official. There will be a SALERNO reunion--12 JULY-SGTS MESS-CTCRM. This is now booked!! Please contact me asap to confirm if you are up for it. There will be accommadation available on the 12th in the mess but numbers could be restricted,although every effort will be made to ensure you get a pit. I should have full details in the next few weeks but we could be looking at 40+ guys,so it promises to be a great night.

Cheers

Billy Court

well done Billy.

Good effort on your part and my apologies for not finishing what I started.

I speak on behalf of Me, Bob Pearce and George Mason in confirming our attendance and even though we only live down the road in Guzz, we shall need a pit apeice.

Any thoughts about placing a notice in the next Globe & Laurel reunion page? There are probably quite a few who are out of the loop and not computer literate.


Yours aye

Hi just found this site put me down for the PU. I was A/Tks but dont hold that against me Humphs

Just thought I would give you an update---we now have 30 bods who have confirmed for the reunion! So it's looking good.
Henry and myself still are waiting on replies from some of you and we really expect to exceed '40'. If anyone would like details and a list of who is attending then you can contact either myself or Henry. We have people travelling from Canada, Malta and Turkey (come on Bri Gates).

Looking forward to seeing you on 12 July

Billy

BZ Billy. Diary booked, can't wait

Hello to all.
Only found out about this site yesterday from ex Royal Dee Irvine (DL & Pilot).
Well done to Billy Court (and others) for jacking up the reunion. Remember 'The Witch' Billy? she sends her regards (only joking)
Why am I not surprised the Mason fish hasn't got a computer! He needs to learn to drive a motorbike first.
Hello to Wurz. I've got some hoofing phots to bring along mate!
I'm still in Her Majesty's finest, having just returned from bashing the bosch sausage side in sunny Iraq.
I get to fly around in Lynx helicopters blowing stuff up these days.
I KNOW!! THAT BONE SOD FLYING HELO'S, ARE THEY MAD?
I'll definately be there for the reunion and if anyone can find Mike Kocher we can get ourselves in the shit big time again. Mind you, I hear 112 days in Colchester is a bit of a breeze these days.
Looking forward to swinging the lamp in July with all who know us.

Sharky

Thanks for starting the ball rolling, I am very interested in the re-union.

Some familar names appearing on the site.

My first troop sergeant every was "if i've got it, you've got it, if not, youre in the shit" "TAG".

Hows Kev Donnavon doing? (get in touch)

Last time I saw Chisk was in 1988 in maidstone.

Wurz, only saw you last year, but your name keeps on cropping up.

I had a recient contact with Monkey Hyland.

Lokking forewards to the get together.

Russ Barker

Oi ! Barker, best you drop Billy a PM and get yer name down, its the 12th of July at CTCRM Sgts Mess. Would be great to see you again and find out how an ugly bastard like you trapped like a bandit all the time.

Kev Donovan has emigrated to Malta and there is only a 5 % chance that he will be there.

When you saw Wurz, were you a 'client' of his?

Please make the effort Russ, it will be a brills PU

After posting the last message I read your profile.

How the f*** did you pass the entrance exam with spelling like that???

Yo Sharky,
I gree with you my spelling is bad.
I was lucky, at the time I applied to the Prison servce they had altered the entrance exam to multiple choice.

I just asked Billy if Sharky was by any chance Steve Ward. I dont need an answer to that now. I think one of the last times we were together was when we were in the drill shed at Lympstone and Eddy was the 1st Drill (do you remember) F****** cold was it not.

Went to Polly Perking wedding in Cheshire he married a Police inspector (female), since then he joined the police himself and I have never heard from him since.

Any one heard from any of the following.

Jimmy Jurrant, Wing McEwan, Bob Green, Steve Willett, Bonkers Barker, Charlie Dickson, Ozzie Ozzles.

I will bring the L/P Saturday Night Fever So the COSMIC boys can perform.

Russ

Ahoy Russ, good to know that you are joining the `clan of rouges` for this re-union!! It`s Robby Pearce on the `Net` at the moment!
The questions you posed about some of the `scpeens` I can answer...
Tom `wings` McEwan will be going to this sesh travelling down for the `advance party` on the friday night with Sess Slieman (our brills 5 a-side goalie) as I understand from what Billy has told me. They will be meeting up with a fair number of other bod`s making an early start to the gathering (me included.)
Mick Tagg was / is a prison officer, I saw him a few months ago and told him of this re-union, but as yet he hasn`t made any contact with Billy or Henry.
Ozzie Ozzles was last seen at RMB Stonehouse a few years back.....as the `provvie` stripy!! I think he went on to CTC after his time was up in the barracks, unless someone else knows any different.
At least now it feels like it won`t be an all `F` or `G` troop re-union!
Don`t forget to bring some `happy snappy` photo`s of the time out there (this goes to everyone who is coming, so have a good look round for those `stich-up` piccies lad`s!!)
Will see you at the sesh then mate,
Be lucky,
Robby.
