Air fried tin potatoes are so good, brushed with olive oil first...Mmmm...

I'll have mine mashed up with a bit of Worcester sauce on toast then stuck under the grill please.

Brilliant, thank you, obvious now I know. It always sounded like 'Jealously' to me but I knew that wasn't right... I can sing the whole song now...lol...

Ally ally ally oh, in ??????, blue and white army... What is the missing word, I've never been able to make it out..

Got very dry skin, my knuckles get so dry they crack and bleed, probably riding motorbikes in all weathers. I use E45 every day. Game changer. Arms and legs are sleeved with tattoo's so I use E45 on my arms and legs also, makes the tatts look much better, especially as they are 20-40 years old....

Just watched iHostage on Netflix last night, average watch but true story. Loving Blacklist on Prime, 3 seasons in so far.

I right royally f***ed up there, I volunteered to drive a mini bus full of veterans to an event on Saturday forgetting about the football....ah well, my ticket is on the exchange...

I'm a terrible sleeper and I blame it all on the watchkeeping I did for the best part of 8 years. I survive on about 4 hours sleep a night. The Naval Party I was part of in 82 down the Falklands was so small we had to work 1 in 2 for 6 months. 4 hours on 4 hours off during the day and 6 hours...

I was going to say my Grandad, he was always coming home with those little pens from the bookies.....then I opened the thread....

Always Dad but if I am referring to my Dad I always say "My ol man"

We left it late..Mrs was 40, me 41. Had over 20 years of partying and travelling the world and felt we needed a change but didn't know what. Mrs thought she was going through the menopause and had blood test only for the doc to phone us one evening and say "Congratulations, your pregnant"...

The Selecter, always fancied Pauline Black, she looks just as good now as she did back in the 80's. Took my daughter to see them last month. They are always touring. And then there is Madness, love em....

Looks like I'm in the minority of quite liking this away day. It's an easy drive, loads of parking, we usually beat them. Will be on the half way line, 5 rows back....looking forward to it....

That is called Chaff, a ship fires into the air to confuse an Exocet missile and direct it away from its target…. It did work quite well in 82 and probably would have interfered with radio signals for a short time having been deployed. Once dispersed radio signals would have been back to normal.

If you need any help/info on how to apply for indulgence flights and accommodation, give me a shout and I can point you in the right direction. The first time I went back with a load of 2 Para lads, they all found it a great benefit.... It's not for everyone though.
