As a Singly doing Q over Christmas in RAFG we blew the extra Christmas budget on stuff to make it more enjoyable like Video rentals, sweets etc, stuff the Christmas decorations the budget was for... but one guy managed to whistle up a newspaper Christmas tree similar to the items he used to make in primary school..
We were sorted, we had a tree with cut up page three's on, stacks of films to watch, lots of sweets and stuff.. and our favourite duty cook whistled up some stunning Christmas fare..
and then the Station commander decided to visit the troops working over Christmas and saw us all sitting watching TV, our wilting Newspaper Christmas tree in the corner.. He was not impressed and sent his oppo off to the Officers Mess to bring back lots of goodies, a proper tree and decorations for us... saying when the QRA permanent staff Sgt comes back after the hols he would have words.. oops
