Happy Anniversary, I was on the 179 mechs course at Saints in 76
ahh bumpers, though brick buildings for us, the wooden ones were still there if I member correctly.
Messing around with a bumper one evening we split the Lino, just a small cut about an inch by an inch but right in the middle of the floor, panicking our Senior man reached down got hold of it and tore a 6 foot plus section up, he then told us to turn all our beds over and trash the place, this done we all trooped up to the guardroom to sheepishly report coming back to finding our room trashed and the Lino ripped up..
The **** hit the fan and all the courses / other rooms in the block had a week of extra bull nights, we in the meantime were exempted bull nights until they could get the Lino replaced which was a few weeks later
