Re: Messing

I think Melchett01 has summed it up pretty well - better than I did !!!! It's all about the constant erosion, the constant battling over the pathetic little things which - to an outsider seem trivial - but to us freezing our bits off or having to ' obey ' downright ridiculous rules is important. Melchett01 is right when he says that the things we used to enjoy about mess life made up for the rest of the crap.......not any more my friends. My last Mess AGM proposed buying ( from our contributions of course) a nice silver C-17 to display on function nights. At approx £700 it semed a bit steep to me, considering we still pay to use the washing machines and dryers - £1 a wash and 20p to have a gnat fart on the corner of your hankie !!!!! And yeah, Confucius - think I will be taking your advice - they can take me to court if they can find a piece of paper with my signature on it.................until then .......where's me angle grinder....?
