Re: Young and old.
Mr Strange told me that he would not give me any spocial treatment just because we had the same name, strange that.
But life boat drill on the canal.
there we were pulling away when one of the lads caught a crab, a big one.
He almost fell over the side and the officer was not impressed shouting at him, ';get out of this boat you fool'.
Not being the sharpest knife in the box he got up as if going to step off the boat.
It was only some of the lads holding him if not he was over the side.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Hi Victoria.
i know your kind, you would have stood on the beach in a sexy pose, and the blokes would have saved themselves getting back ashore, your medals easy peasy.
