The Mess would light up when Ian walked in, the strongest man I ever met, and his heart was as big as the rest of his muscles. Rest in peace shipmate.

Some of the comments posted above reminded me of one of my favourite pieces of graffitti: Seen on a wall in Limassol (Cyprus) shortly after the Turks had invaded the island in 1974... The Yanks had resolutely refused to stand up for the democratic rights of the Greek Cypriots in the UN:

Leroy, please do away with the formalities.
My father was Mr Barrett, I am Dave, but thank you for your courtesy.
My wife hails from a long line of Canadians, I am a new arrival, of 5 years.
My lineage spent their history kicking ‘Roman, and Norman Arse' (to use your vernacular), hailing as we do ...

You seem to be handling this one quite well on your own Andy, but I will stick in my few pennies worth anyway. Seeing as it was from Nova Scotia that the Acadians were sent. As you rightly say those French that would not swear allegiance to the King in 1755 were deported south,"Ethnically Cleansed ...

That bit about lost kit reminds me of the time when 40 Cdo were being flown ashore.....forget where, but it was hot and dusty. When they were flying the TQ of A coy's trailer ashore it started swinging, so the pilot cut it loose, dropped in the oggin, never to be seen again. The TQ duly sent in his ...

I guess John D would be more familiar with the words commonly used in his era!

Well Done Andy,

For creating a personal thread for leroy, I'm looking forward to hearing how the new 'super race' intends to complete it's conquest of the free world. I was a little surprised that leroy didn't think of it himself.

How the hell did you manage that Harry, are you one of these Jedi people that Rob was on about??

More importantly can you do it again, only this time I think you should concentrate 'the force' on leroy's erstwhile god... George Dubya....
