Camlobe,
Ref the Pen Club, have we met??
I remember nights in the Pen Club (84-88) when;
We used to wheel the jukebox back to the block for the all nighters,
When the fans competitions started to get serious at fan speed 4 (I whimped out then).
When Butts stopped it at 5.
When Butts got back onto solids.
When the APC pengys were given their
proper island arrival briefing.
When we used to ride our 'peds to the bar.
When officers had their own bar to go to.
When Fingers made the best flip flop sarnie on the island, for a quid.
When Costas used to shout 'Tosstey rrready!' and it sometimes almost was.
When we used to hold our July 5th VC night to annoy Olive Harvest, dressed in inside out NBC suits, tin AK47s and cone hats made out of reed beech mats.
When JJ decided he could jump off the roof and land in the bush outside the Pete's Gopping and very nearly made it.
When we had proper Summer Balls.
When Ratboy finished the US recce capability in the region when he beat up the TR1 pilot.
When it used to open up for us on the QT at 06:30 when we came off ops and we were asleep by 08:00.
When we'd each almost polish off half a demijohn of 6 month old Keo cocktail brandy.
And then take on the world.
When Brian Deeley made 3 of us move out of the block and live in trenches on the sqn for 1 week for
getting caught fighting there.
Good nights.
Its 'Charlies' now, or something equally toss isn't it?
