Jim your dits are a delight and unsurpassed on here....... what about a book? Do not know anyone better to write such a tome who was so prominent in what can only be the heyday of the Band Service. I am sure HM would be up for a copy!!

I think that we could shift a few copies on this site too Dan. Excellent idea.

Put my name down. I'll buy one.

Better still, we could do with an archivist to take all our favourite dits down and make a chuffing good read. Deli, have you got any spare time at Blue Band editorial ?

I've already thought of making a book out of dits and selling it with all profits going to Service Charities. They tried it on another site but it died a death. Col Jims and a many others are worth of being placed somewhere for posterity. Books are expensive to produce but we could do an EBook (PDF) and sell it as a print yer own!

Yup ! The easiest way, would be for us to just print the entire contents of this forum, then ditch the chuff.

Hmmmmmmmmm, that would leave a few dits then .

Will you two stop tapping each other up!!! Your smooching is hardly likely to encourage Col Jim to write his much sought after memoirs. Maybe admin could start a Blue Oyster Room where you both might be more comfortable!!!!!........ LMFAO
