On the 81, did your mfcs have a heart?
And I don`t mean the sixties ditty from popular Liverpool songstress, Miss Cilla Black of the same title 8)

Give the baby a squeeze from Uncle `Arry

On the 81, did your mfcs have a heart?
Mortar Fire Controllers and to aid them did they use the plastic heart-shaped map overlay?

See, it`s easy really mate :wink:

Ah Harry .. You had me going there matey... lol

Is there really a town called Boredom ??

In 1970, when I was a mortar crewman, in the last Great and Hopefully Last Asian War, I moved up to what was called FDC ( Fired Direction Control ) about 4 months before I left 'Nam. All this really meant was i had a great place to sleep, an M113 ( APC ) ( armored personnel carrier ) without any guns inside ) I had a swell hammock..it was strung so tight another guy had to get me into it,and we had a little brown book with all the ranges etc. in it and last of all, the circular, white plastic deal we called the "computer", as I recall we wrote on it with grease pencils.

I have a good pic of me doing that....but my sons and I have 4 computers in the back room here, and they have jury rigged the scanner / printer up to theirs and I can't get it to work.

Is it possible to attach photos in your posts here ?

Of course there isnt 8)
It`s where Perce(the Army) goes to learn about Electrickery and Mechanical Engineering. The Skool there, is the Skool of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and is known as SEME in the town of Bordon as per SEME Bordon.
As it`s awfully frightfully interesting, don`t cha know, it has naturally and universally become SEME Boredom 8)
Sounds like FDC is the same gig as MFC and
the circular, white plastic deal we called the "computer"
sounds like an earlier version of the heart :wink:

It is not only possible, it is desirable to attach phots here. You need to post them on a free web hosting service and link to that site from here.
Here`s me and my child bride two years ago. I was a finalist in the Mister Trans Dresser Australia Competition. I was resplendant in my Eau de Nill chifon creation by Balmain and stole the show :roll: I`m not gay by the way. I just have a thing about women`s clothing 8)

Mrs Aitch fooled no-one with her Zorro mask and faux moustache :wink:

He could at least have let her have the glass of wine, instead of keeping it all for himself...
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.

We often use those masks during indoor athletics on our sports nights. :wink:
Feeling rather tired of late, I had one of our younger Members stand in for me, as it were. :-?
Mrs Aitch was well impressed with "my" performance 8)
However, when I questioned her about her newly aquired appetite for all things erotic, coupled with her seemingly unsatiable demands at all hours she confessed that she had taken to sleeping in the downstairs guest suite and one of her young nurses was standing in for her :o

So now we just hide in the wardrobe and congratulate each other on our stunt doubles` performance 8)
Saves all that "who`s sleeping in the wet patch" routine :wink:

And it wasn`t a fly, Tab, it was a stick-on butterfly. At that gig, which was a masked ball as per Venice in the seventeenth century, there were people bimbling around in charecter, tumblers for instance, or jokers. One young Peasant girl strode amongst the crowds , planting "tattoos" on the guests, flys, stars moons, etc. She was a raving dyke, by the way and nowt wrong there.

Very erotic emotions were aroused watching her place that butterfly and the amount of eye-contact, etc er, can you excuse me a mo... 8)

Er, what was the question again :-?

This post isn`t about my wife`s chest, btw :roll:
It`s about our cuzz from across the water and his forthcoming quest to visit old Blighty.
Stage two will be to arrange a Forum Piss-up in the Crawley area with our HW friend as guest of honour.
Start thinking about it now. You`ll have a great time and I`ll do me usual abusive phone call from OZ 8)

Who`s up for it? Imagecome on girls, don`t be shy :wink:
