Puma Reunion 2008

obnoxio f*ckwit is being lazy by refusing to start a new thread.........

He's also organising the 2008 Puma reunion - 28th Nov - usual place.

If you don't know where that is you don't need to know blah blah blah.......

Ususal stuff - meet up with loads of people you've been trying to avoid for the last 12 months, listen to how important senior officers really are blah blah blah.....watch obnoxio f*ckwit sweat etc....

A whole load of blah blah blah really

Wouldn't miss it for the world!

Excellent - another opportunity to catch up with everyone who's been avoiding me and blah on about how important I am..... although I probably won't make it until the evening, by which time everyone will be slightly out of focus.

Can just imagine it now...........
old HC1 Pumas smoking cigars, leaning over the Mess fire, trying to keep their joints warm whilst waiting for the grand entrance of the HC2 new boy.
Lots of sniggering and snide remarks with macho displays of cabs downing tins of hyd oil.
Other cabs being reunited with their 'wendy house' which they had lost years ago and others plotting to spoil the Puma reunion until the old crocks realise that the new HC2 boy also does not have anticipators...................
Happy Days

Think it's already pencilled in as part of our work-up - much like obnoxio's replacement made it a requisite part of our OCF a few years back!

Jim, sorry Cim, said

.....watch obnoxio f*ckwit sweat etc....
You'll be lucky because

a. I'll be 500 miles away and

b. At the end of November in the particular location that is 500 miles away it will be f*cking freezing and nobody will be sweating until at least March.

Y'all have a nice time.

And no singing.

Well not that much...

I flew one once in Belize and it scared the b'jesus out of me (and the old moustaschioed gadgey next to me - Ged?)...blades went the wrong way 'round and it had no anticipators, unlike the Clingon. Landed on that Caye near the Blue Hole....oh those were the days (esp as Cim Jartner was my (Ops) Bitch at the time!)

Me too

Missed last years but will definitely be at this one.

Can't wait to spill into the RAF Club reception looking all nice and Air Force-like at midnight again.

Where is it again? It's all a bit vague.

Could someone please PM me the time & place, I'm off that day.
As it will be my "first time", should I expect an initiation???
(I can bring my own XG284!)
thanks,

The 2008 epic.....

Just returned from the thrash in Londinium.....well that's a lie actually as I'm now enduring the following day's hangover......well done to all who attended from far flung parts of the Empire....a bloody good do - looking forward to next year's event already. Didn't see Cartner but I expect he was on the floor at the back . Nice to see the Puma spirit is alive and kicking. Well done Roger Small and Reg for Issue 2 of SH Songbook - epic etc or should I use the code and say '101 mateys'. Many thanks. Cheers and stay safe!

A great night except for some thieving Gypsy taking my song book from my coat pocket. God to meet up with old mates again and some new ones. See you all again next year.

Regards to all, wasaloadie

Thumbs up

Thanks all, "a grand day out"!
Love the FRC format for the songbook, good to have the brevity code in, my favorite page is on the back of the "amendment request"!!!
Well done Roger & Reg.
