Hi This Is Me.

[asf]

Hello Everybody.

Just a feqw lines to introduce myself. I've checked into the forums as a guest several times now and thought it was about time I joined up for real.

I first joined up in 76 when I joined the RE's as a junior tradesman at Chepstow. Didn't like it and left for a civvy apprenticeship but immeduiately joined outr local TA Bn (6RRF). 3 years later joined up full time (1RRF) and did the full monty and finally left in 2001 after many, many happy years of fun times, scrapes, booze fuelled "When I" sessions and good ole' hard work.

Very sad when I left, found it very hard to be a civvy (still do) and now refer to myself as a retired serviceman. Tried driving for a living as I'm ex MT PL, money in NI for drivers is a joke. Did fibre-optics and computer network installation for pre-release, hadn't been invented in NI when I left hence the attempt at driving.

Finally a shining light appeared on the horizon, the RUC were recruiting again albeit with a name change to the PSNI. Iapplied and much to my surprise I was accepted and joined up in Dec 2001. I'm now serving in Londonderry and enjoying it. Money's not bad, mates are ok so it'll do for a while. Trouble is, and I'm sure most of you have experienced this, people who have no forces background have no sense of humour, either that or I have a twisted one. However I am having fun educating everyone.

Hope I haven't bored everyone.

This is me.

Andy.

Welcome Andy,
Understandable that you miss the humour, where else can you find quotes like "It's always funny till someone gets hyrt... then it's hillarious"
The humour on here is top draw, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

"It's always funny till someone gets hyrt... then it's hilarious"

Picture the scene.....Three of us skived off an afternoons footie for a couple of pints up Union Straz.... Afternoon turns to evening and all three are shiters.... Run out of dosh so with the last pennies get a bus to Stonehouse, There is Sharkie, Bungy and myself all on the top deck.. a bit of nuisance with the conductress and told to go down stairs and wait for the stop at the bottom of the Straz opposite the brewery. Sharkie starts fooling around doing a Pole Dancer routine on the rear stage of the bus. the kind that had a pole at the rear near side.....so he is now pirouetting round the pole as the bus enters the bus stop lane....Not noticing or not registering the swift approaching lamp standard, Sharkie hits it at about 30 MPH.... Out cold and face down on the pavement.... Leaving Bungy and I curled and creased up on the platform pointing at the lad on the ground... For this epic display of pole dancing he received a fractured Jaw a broken nose and the loss 5 teeth..... Though the last laugh was on us.. He Missed a particularly vicious Spearhead Ex* and a long cold exercise in the Breacon Beacons.

* The only Spearhead Ex that nearly went all the way... The usual notice, all RA's returned to barracks, Load up the 3 toners, Lynham and embark on VC10's Taxi out to runway.....Reveup the engines..... down the runway and STOP! all back in the Lorries...Crab bag rarions..... Hey Ho back to Guz......Someones Bastard's Idea of fun!!!!
