Ye gads, I thought we'd captured a Neptunite for a moment.
Melchett, arouse the men

and form a press gang (you are still number 2 in the VBI chart, closely behind Collingrad!).
Pass the Glenmorangie and set sail for cold water.

arouse?? did I hear someone mention arouse? Dear me....in my day we did that on our own in private. We didn't need a VBI to help. Try rousing them instead Jos its much more civilised

Aaron, you are right again; after all it is a submarine baseand i am NOT, EVER going to try and arouse a submariner.

Yes, Isn't Faslane a lovely, nay charming place. The Subs, the missiles, the dockies and the pikeys! Don't tell anyone, but I'm on RDP until July!

:smt006
Greetings from the foggy North and blooming cold it is too! I thought I would write and let you all know that Neptune Band members do exist..cos there is me for a start and a few say 30 others of us and we are not a bad bunch really!! Not bad at playin music either. This is my oooh 16th year in the volunteer band and its not bad, so if your visitin Neptune ( although why would you want to do that and I work in the place!!) please do come and visit our band in the Off site centre which is convieniently situated for us accross the road at the Ardencaple Hotel at Rhu!!

Hope everyone on the banding front retired or not is doing well, by the way has anyone see Tim Smye Rumsby???!

Best wishes
Gillian
