Grand Military Tattoo

A · Grand Military Tattoo

Are we going to go?

It's Sat 2nd September, and as well as Pompey band, there will be the RN Freefall parachute team and fireworks etc and even the RAF Central band which will be about as muchfunas sticking a fork in your eye with a massed bandy thingy with pyrotechnics (and I do love my explosions)

£12 quid unless we can convince the booking office that we are all schoolchildren.

greenfairy

I can act like a schoolchild if it'll help?!

And don't ask me about September, you know I can't plan things in advance

A

Well, no. Might be fun though. Skegging the essence men in uniform and watching fireworks.

greenfairy

Note to self: don't skim read messages as you could get the wrong end of the stick

Ahem.

Oooooh fireworks. Now that's quality entertainment

A

What end did you grab then?

greenfairy

Best we just don't go there. Ok?! At least not in public

Apricot

Don't think I can go gotta stay home like a good lil girlie

A

Aw bugger, isn't worth going then!

General Melchett

Cheers Deli, thats my monitor redecorated in an interesting new colour called hint of coffee!

A

How do you know I wasn't referring to the crabfats?

General Melchett

Crabfats in uniform? At the weekend? Sounds unlikely.
Can't vouch for them being essence either........ Not in that silly uniform.

Not like the RMBS, Tasty tucker, soft beds and a uniform so smart it's got a PhD from Cambridge!

A

I have to say, I didn't find the crabfats particularly alluring.

As for you modest booties, everyone knows I'm partial to a pongo!

General Melchett

We all have our crosses to bear mate! If he wants get up on a big horse and try to do a Beat Retreat good luck to him, I've stood next to a Life Guards Horse that threw its rider - not nice....

greenfairy

I'm partial to anyone who'll have me.

Doesn't seem to be helping me though

This is a grand military tattoo as well!

General Melchett

Knock-knock,
A couple of questions please..... I have not been able to get in touch with your glorious leader, well Craig.
When does he handover?
Is he on leave yet?
That is all.

I Thank you!

A

Leave, I'm assuming starts next week, and I'm pretty sure the handover is the first week of September.

And you're not the only one who can never reach him, it's all of us!

A

I have often wondered why this is so.

Unless he is addicted to sex chatlines.

greenfairy

Stranger things have happened. And he's probably run out of beautiful people.

General Melchett

I bet he loves rehearsals with you two, I bet you've aged him and sent him over the edge a few times too. No wonder he's always out with Scarlet!

greenfairy

Us?!! He shouldn't act so ridiculously cos then we'd have nothing to take the p!ss of.

He's gotten decidedly more grey & wrinkled since October when I first joined though

A

He asks for it.

Sometimes literally.

A

Apricot

A

Thank the Lord

A

So who is up for this?

greenfairy

Having checked the fixture list I'm available and up for it

And yes, my phrasing may be somwhat facetious

A

I hope Ants is well enough to go.

greenfairy

Randomly - we need one of these for the next time we go to the pub!

A

Oh Lord no, my luck is notoriously bad!

Apricot

oooo, maybe not, if A didn't get it, I would

greenfairy

It would be an interesting experiment as to which one of us self-confessed bad luck victims actually does have the worst luck

Apricot

and you actually want to try it out???

greenfairy

It's only a chilli. And an excuse to eat chocolate.

Apricot

but I don't like chilli's! swop you for the chocolate - one chilli for a bucket of chocolate (which of course I would share with my friends)

A

Erm, we missed it.

greenfairy

Meh, no great loss!

Apricot

oops, but then I wasn't going anyway!
