Westie....relax....salute the Empty Bag concept....even when it is a Windbag....father knows best and all that. Ever notice the sharpish replys one gets when it is the "Home" team that is the object of the banter? Our retort afterwards arrives at ...."OOOOOOH! ATTITUDE!" as they get all grouchy and hurt sounding.
So...go with the flow...Westie....slide that long slender blade between the ribs....they love it actually.
I did the "Army Officer" going to an RAF Officers Mess thread at Arrse....got some very proper, polite, helpful replies....with some very light banner....then admitted the truth...."American Army Warrant Officer" going to an RAF Officers Mess, thanking all for their guidance.... and instantly....all bile and bitter....funny what might have changed between posts.
Any idea what that might have been Chaps?
