Just as a matter of interest, Hammy's birthday is the 11th December. How do I know? I was with him last week - and his wife ("I'm never gonna get married me") and 2 girls, 12 & 10 (ish).

(He don't look anything like the Ham in the picture - bald as a coot he is.)

drat.........I thought I was in with a chance there. At my age, you get what you can. 'Hornblower' sounded an interesting proposition.

LOL!

Yeah, you're dead right Boots, I do like 'em small - good ol' memory you got there!

As a small point of interest - I was quoting Hammy above when I said: ("I'm never gonna get married me")

He was adamant that he'd never get married and now has 2 girls to his credit, I met them just before Christmas too.

Anyway, I'm getting married (for the 4th time) in Prague next month, so you were right about me being married too!!!
Damn...

(And yes Booty, in answer to your as yet unasked question, they are...)

Oh dear oh dear , what long memories we do have. The 'chunk-blowing 'incident was at colours in Gibralter I believe, following a very active (and I must confess , somewhat blurred) night at various establishments. I think we wound up at the Hol e in The Wall .
Beano was actually quite impressed he said he'd never seen anyone chunder at attention before ( I was actually just trying to miss my boots.....).
It was all them JCs that did it !

You were lucky I could remember that one Geoff. I normally ended up in a little cell of my own and missing Colours. Twice I was a visitor to the Gib Jankers. Not all my fault you understand. I blame Goldy (God Bless Mate) and Gilly for getting me into trouble on the two ocassions. In fact I have a claim to fame of being on the last RAF Comet out of Gib. I shouldn't have been of course, but the Ark left without me as I had a date with a Magistrate which I couldn't possibly wriggle out of.....Nice to hear from you mate....Booty :O)

Ha ! Got 'im ! (plus confirmation via PM's Cheers Mark 'n Aaron) How are you Twink ? The clue was the bit about always being got into trouble by Gilly ? Then I remembered a certain duo getting into hot water when they paid 'Appy 'Ermes a visit one day..............mind yer fingers Royal !

Aw that's cheating that is Geoff. Ah HMS Herpes, yeah Gilly and I got about a weeks 9's for that little incident. I could never deliver a decent Irish accent, and giggling going back down the Gangway was a bit silly. Ah well, all part of lifes rich carpet. Nice to hear of some of your exploits in the junior service Geoff. Keep posting....Booty :o)

There was even a Subbie in the loft with that party Geordie. If I remember rightly we used to have about three friendly chefs. The Ginger haired guy was Mick Robb, there was also Frenchy (Don't mention NAAFI Manager and oral $ex) and a Welsh guy called Gerry Arthur. All gave excellent food, even in harbour back in Guzz we used to have Fillet Steak and chips. Good times indeed......
