That Hornblower in the middle looks as young as he did 10years earlier.. 
Mind you, it's amazing what a tache and beard can hide... 
He did OK on horn for someone who joined up as a trombone player..

| Hornblower |
Nope Billy - you'll have to give me a clue. 
|

| RAB |
Oh what a perfect day for fishing.... 
|

| townsergeant |
No clues, as Ken Mettyear used to say! Actually, the odd one out is me........ The other two joined up before 1970!

Re: A couple of pics to see........
Aaaarrrggghhhh! Duelling banjo's. 
Is that an escapee from 'Deliverance'? |

| Hornblower |
I have to say that I'm not impressed with that middle person's uniform - and he hasn't shaved for a while either...
Is it yer Dad Billy? I last saw Titch in Trago Mills, Liskeard. Have to say that I still had his 2nd horn parts ringin' in me ears. Not in the same way that I had yer sea-dad's notes ringin' in me ears either, Billy

Trago Mills?!! Legendary. I always tend to bump in to people I knew from school when I go there...,probably why I avoid the place at all costs!
|
||||
| Hornblower |
Definitely a place to avoid if at all possible GF... Trago Mills and male hormones don't mix - IMHO. 
I somehow didn't pick up on you being Cornese...
(That makes two good things that have come out of there...)

Born in Pompey, grew up in Somerset, spent a lot of holidays in/around Plymouth

Well - I still love pasties and Frank Lloyd!! (The latter in a manly 'Did you see the match last night' sort of way.) | ||||
| 2nd Clarinet |
Phew! Had me worried for a moment......

At no point have I mentioned anything about liking it down that ar$e-end of the country....
Used to like Plymouth til I was about 16 and spent a week in a flat in Stonehouse - kind of put me off the place a bit! 
(best point out that my dad's work had rented him & his team the flat as they were down there for 6 months playing with submarines and I just fancied a free week's holiday. Not the best plan ever as I was too scared to go out after dark and there was a lady in not a lot other than a fishnet bodysuit walking up and down the pavement outside my window every night) It's a wonder I'm the well-qdjusted young lady that I am really
|

| Hornblower |
Me used to live in Stonehouse too GF, but I never saw any 'ladies' in fishnets!!! (I'm a good boy, me) (Don't listen to anything anyone else says on this forum!)
Actually, I remember looking for a lockup around Millbay docks and kept driving round and round a one-way system. I feel certain that the 'lady' standing on the corner was expecting me to stop on one of my circuits. Bleugh  (as Jumpig would say)

I'm all lost down memory lane now....where's the mind bleach?! |

Hornblower!!!!
Stu... Please remove that 'Signature Text' from your messages. It reminds me of TF and all the associated memories of serving under him. B#@t$%d! |
||||
| Hornblower |
Bob - I was thinking of changing it actually.
But you have just given me the perfect reason to keep it.....    
Tooooo easy! 
(Got bored adding all the funny emoticons so just this... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Oh, me belly hurts
|

| 2nd Clarinet |
SHAME ON YOU!!! SHAME ON YOU!!! 
To even think of using anything in connection with 'THAT MAN' - SHAME ON YOU I've read lots of your postings where you have mentioned TF in a negative vein, and lots of people on this site will never forgive him. SHAME ON YOU!!!
|

| RAB |
..You can talk Bob....(but you knew that)
Your signature makes you look like an ashtray sandwich, bordered by two of the finest liquorice stick chappies I have ever had the pleasure of being pi$$ed with...
|

| 2nd Clarinet |
Et tu RAB? Or more aptly, Judas Iscariot, Vidkun Quisling, Benedict Arnold, Tokyo Rose, William Joyce . .. |
||||
| Hornblower |
You're (note correct usage of apostrophe) gonna have to wind yer neck in on this one Bob - unless you can provide proof of my 'dissing' TF. I think you'll find that I've been quite respectful, as I am with most people actually... As a matter of interest, I thought he was well ahead of his time and had some quite good ideas. So, get digging and see what you can come up with in regards to my being negative towards a DoM. In the meantime, ITMA! stays. (But not in the vein that you mention - it's homage to another one of me bosses, this time not quite up to DoM status though.) |
