Thank you Gentlemen,for your kind thoughts. Guard of Honour for his nibs,was a combined effort,B troop 40 Commando and a detachment of Grenadiers.Being on parade with the connoisseurs of bullshit meant we had to be at our best,which was normal for us , so no rusty bayonets or any other disorder.Royal at his magnificent best. :D :D


Aye Owdun. :evil:

From you mate, perfection every time 8)

Listen girls, Owdun only managed to blag free rum off Perce, didn`t he :o
He told `em that every time Royal went to sea(on a canal mind you :roll: ) it was a tradition dating back before the days of the Mary Rose never mind Nelson, that Royal must splice the Main Brace before casting off, whilst underway and once safely ashore 8)
Perce went for it and Mne Wayt duely signed for all those luverly barricos 8)

And so it is Gentlemen, that I now call upon you today, to charge your glasses and please be upstanding.
The toast is, To those two elder statesmen of this forum, Mnes Robinson and Wayt. God Bless Three Badgers :drinking:

Many happy returns Frank and James 8)
If you`d`ve known you were going to live this long, I bet you`d`ve left yerself alone at night 8)
BZ you blokes :wink:
Many many happy returns to both Jim and Frank 8)

Be warned,you Aussie pimp, the Black Spot is en-route to your hide out in the Antipodes.The nip and tuck was neatly done, by a NHS surgeon,Shri-Lankan born. The seven inch scar is quite fetching in it's livid lumpy form,though they do say that it will blend in with the rest of me mottled skin eventually. Thigh muscles shot to fcuk,and the exercises laid on by the Physioterrorists make Oy sweat a bit,but I'se alive,so I suppose 'ats summat to be thankful for,or is it?? :D :D

Don't, whatever else you do, try the ergometric cycles -

Go for a five gear zimmer - with a tray for your pints - and a flower pot,
and a DVD screen, the mind boggles at the opportunities, anchor and chain for brakes - gawd ....

Have they stopped putting the leg in a sling then - in the last fifty years ?
