Sad news indeed. Many a Poo Poo Platter was had in the restaurant of the Hotel in Cooks Corner.

No more staying at The Atrium, at least I won't get bit by the parrot again. Remember the night down town after all those white russians, when we told the waitress we only had $5, never seen someone go so pale.

I can remember helping to expand the vocabulary of the parrot in the Atrium on a visit there with 120 Sqn many years ago.

I also remember staying on base once, where in the SNCO accommodation there was a VIP suite, complete with tv and dvd player and a water bed. The air eng happened to be the lucky person to get the VIP suite, so naturally it became the party room. He never did get to sleep in the bed for the two days we were there as someone had turned the temperature to max.

Westers loved that Parrot!
It was always nice to have the Co drive from the base to give you the rates in the Spa - ahh the white russians, checking your very blunt dinghy knife at the door to Joshua's, tryin to save a young Sarge from a very large mistake at least 250lbs. Then calling on Stbd Beam the next morning to find him sitting naked on the crapper throwing up into the rubbish bin.

Anyone remember the Barking Spider?

Barking Spider eh, took a few showers to get the beads from the gay table-skittles/curling thing downstairs out of my hair. How did they get there in the first place?

S_B - remember how she never left our side and nearly ran the town out of milk... Remember pulling Taff from his bath the next morning? Or was that another White Russian night?

CL - Made Pratty dry retch in the corridor I recall. I think I actually killed Roger_That.

Never actually shat myself at Brunswick. Hang on, err, oh yes I did .....

and so another base bites the dust...

I fondly remember driving a long-long way up to Brunswick from Massachusetts to visit the air show, to find the star exhibit in the static park was er... a Nimrod!
