Ickle Til,
Cant say where or when or why it ended up in the paper, but names I can do all bar one. L/R J o Neil, Jim Mason,Brains Welstead, Dave Hough, WHO on earth can the next one be????? (my ickle Til) the next one the face is familiar but he name escapes me, and last but not least Joe Baggs. The one I am not sure of is it Trevor Rowlinson????

I don't know what they're saying but, by the look of the curtains, it's at your house.
(Nice tie by the way, I bet it is still in your wardrobe)

Where 'have' you 'had' a colonel?
|
Hornblower
|
YUP!
Knew someone would ask that, just didn't know who.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, let me think...
...Colonel - me:
lights down low:
soft military (!?) music on the lo-fi:
drinks:
gentle laughter:
eyes meeting and lingering just a little too long for the circumstances:
both looking away, just a little too quickly before risking another look...
Naaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh - never had one of those!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe I'm can tempt a certain Drum Major though. The grooming process has begun.

Yes and will action accordingly!
Time is a problem and let's face it, the internet was put on this planet for one thing and one thing only...
Ah - so little time, I really must retire soon.

That's what Geoff Hill used to call himself when I was an instructor in the Wing when he was Chief Instructor.
|

Is that Geoff Hill the Euphoniumist?
|
Mr Bass Trombone
|
It could be but on the other hand it could be Geoff Hill the Cellicist

An absoloute gentleman and of course a "scholar".. 
Geoff was the closest resemblance to the human species of any SNCO I met during my service....
And before you start whingeing DAN, you were a Junior when I knew you...
|
Hornblower

Ah, so it is the Geoff Hill I knew and respected.
Good bloke that, we got on well at BRNC.
(And as you time honoured gentlemen that know me well enough would know - that wasn't the usual state of play for me.)

I will always remember one of his favourite sayings when he used to stroll around the Band whilst stood still on Divisions or the like. He used to say, "Just relax inside your suits". Simple thing I know, but it did help..
