Re: Tripoli

Have to confess Malc. that I never actually did a guard duty at Trip Dist.! Maybe it was because I was 'A' sqdn. clerk for a while and they forgot to stick me on the list when I moved out? Seemed to end up as either Bill Garbutt's or the gaffer's, (maj.BCL Tayleur's) signaller. or, quite often, noth...

Re: Tripoli

Well Bodge. Nice to see you still about! Have to say that, other than Tripdist HQ, it never occurred to me that there might be other camps in Tripoli! Cheers, Syd.

Re: God Save The King

Well Arnie, Must say that I don't think, for one moment that Charles is anywhere near as 'woke' as you seem to believe. So he talked to the trees? So did Clint Eastwood in 'Paint your Waggon'. Have you never hugged a tree? Maybe you live a more sheltered life. I truly believe that Charles will prove...

Re: God Save The King

Suspect that like a many others, I just tuned in to the BBC coverage, but found to my surprise that, for much of the service itself, I was in tears! Whether this was because my wife of over seventy years, isn't here any more, maybe it was the sweet faces of the child choristers. Perhaps I'm just a s...

Re: Heading back...

On the other hand BIll, if Russia had accepted that Ukraine has the right to exist as a nation in it's own right, then the question would not have arisen in the first place.

Re: RiP etc.

My wife & I were married just two days after Princess Elizabeth became our Queen, only four years older than us, it seemed at the time so unfair that, not only had she lost a beloved father, she should be thrust into such a task so young. A few months later (might even have been April 1st.) and ...

Re: is anyone still alive

HI folks. Well I think I'm still here, but you can't be too sure of anything these days. I'm fairly certain the lady referred to, is young Bluebottle, and, funnily enough, I was just thinking of emailing her to ask that very question. "When might the book be published, Bluebell dear?" If I...
