do you remember when...

I wish they'd had that arrangement with the RAF... Shouldn't really complain, though, 'cos I also brought back £300+ worth of onyx, two Seiko watches and a car stereo radio, with a few miscellaneous goodies that they waived through.

I was stopped at Akrotiri when I went for a day visit, as he thought I was passing the Seiko chronometer to someone on the island. He only shut up when I handed it to him and told him to return it when I came back later.

The amount of tobacco that was consficated was phenomenal - every few months a large crate would arrive with contraband fags and baccy that we were told to share out amongst ourselves.

I was with the Fleet Air Arm. It was amazing what could be fitted behind an Ejection Seat or into an Aerial Photo Pod.

Perhaps its why we were referred to as 'The Senior Service'.

I remember when they used to charge a deposit on bottles. As kids we used to pick them up and collect 3d apiece. Nice little earner and it kept the hedgerows tidy.
I wish they would do the same with drinks cans. The hedgerows around here are littered with them. The kids would make a fortune.

I remember when no one gave Leicester a chance of winning the Premiership and look at them now.

Seriously OldBlueFox, congratulations, well deserved and I thoroughly enjoyed the game last Sunday.

It would be a phenomenal achievement if they made it. However it's not over till the fat lady sings. I wish she would get a move on, my nerves are shredded!!!!
