Jock,
A Most excellent one.
Also, Kiwi has attoned for his brash conduct and youthfull sins on this board...and you can pass sentencing when he gets back from his walkabout. on Monday. Be severe by all means but short of capital punishment..
Look for 'Apologies to Jock' in the 'Others' forum...if you haven't yet spotted it. You're dishing out too many ideas...
Charles went off to sulk, couldn't take the 'heat 'n hits', I guess...At least you kept your sense of dour Scottish humour....
Charles, if you're reading this here's 'le message suivant pour nos amis d'Outre Manche':
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RESPECT ON THIS BOARD BETWEEN ANCIENS or others except for 'el supremo y sus moderatores'. Most anciens don't want it and more than anything put up with wannabes like Kiwi with a large pinch of salt, mate !! We're just a bunch of e-ragheads looking for a e-piss-up....
Like in a FFL platoon, you might hate each others guts but you still have to occupy the same floor area, work together and eat on the same table and the same pan. It only gets serious when one of the crew goes down for real. It ain't going to happen here to anyone so we're laughing all the way... Only orific-ers can walk away... (that's 'M. l'officier' to you Patrick). So, get back in 'ere and muck in as an equal.
Next 30th April, I'm going to leave the following post on a RM board:
'Birthday greetings from the most ferocious amphibious company in the world, that's in the French foreign Legion' and - run for cover...Start the whole thing off as a joke or kind of....
Keep us posted on the FFL-RM link-up ASAP in any case.
