18 years on and still posting on a military forum, I sense a little bit of denial here
I think I spend time here because I enjoy the wit and repartee . . . I also quite enjoyed my time in the RAF, the people, the aircraft and what we did with them. Nostalgia's not what it was.
There's not a lot of entertainment around and the TV is full of repeats. So taking the opportunity of pointing out that the view is much better when the head is extracted from the @rse is good fun (for me anyway, and it's only my opinion I'm responsible for).
