The sun is shining, I've got the weekend off and I've just had an e-mail from a Dutch mate in which, amongst other things, he says 'do you remember the night you got stuck at Bugonjo (sp), and the Nederland Army nurses ......'

Oh, yeh.

And his bit of the Dutch airforce is good this morning, too.

See?? When would an accountant or a city banker have the chance to recall those sorts of memories. Another glorious day in the Force.

Don't worry - back to normal tomorrow I promise.

I'm remembering the Friday we got a w/e leave from Eglin AFB, and after a couple of hours on the sand at Fort Walton Beach, we went to a club called Daddy's Money. Those American gals really showed their appreciation for our English accents

Airborne Artist,

You've just transported me back over 20 years to when I had a two-month detachment to Eglin AFB, living in a condo in Fort Walton Beach. The memories have cheered up my Friday. Happy Days!

Well its Friday and a beautiful day it is too.
My motorbike's out the shed and I'm gardening till end of next week.
It was payday not so long ago and I am presently a weekend millionaire. I'm going to spank some money on beer and girlies with the boyz tonight and, compared to the rest of the public sector, I've a little bit more to be thankful for.
Even the fact that I'm off on det next fri for a couple of months isn't getting me down.

Today is a GOOD day.....
....but a lot can happen in a week.

1.3VStall - I was there in 84 - perhaps some of the ladies who entertained us were eagerly awaiting people like you to follow through.

Not a good thing on Friday, or any other day for that matter!

TFIF - somewhere there's a pint of nigerian with my name on it [and, hopefully, someone else to pay for it!]

It's fantastic-

The sun is shining.

I finished clearing yesterday.

And don't start work for a month!

Yay!

Talking


Wow,
one of our Sqn Ldr Blunties must read these boards, as he has just popped out to the local village to bring us all fish and chips!

The two Flight Sergeants on Ops are suspicious!

My workshops have churned out some kit Marham needed urgently in record time and earned plaudits all round, OC QBIT's given me some cheques to present to one of my lads for GEMS suggestions, we've planned a Lean event aimed at improving capacity and flexibility rather than cutting manpower, more than half a team's cried on for the RAF Plate quarter final within a day of the date being fixed, there's a do on in the rugby club tonight with 2 live bands that looks like it's going to be a cracking success, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, God's in His heaven and all's right with the world...
