Clive, long time since I was a BOY but thanks for the sentiment. Good to see you back on the board. I'm certain the reason you are missing from the members list, is because Wes doesn't have any details. Drop him or Terry Walton an email and between them, they will fill you in on the details of the OCA and rectify the omission.
Wes, great news reference the R.A. Historical Society. I hope to, one day, have the honour of visiting the Bty History Room. It sound most impressive! Well done to 49 (Inkerman)Head Quarters Bty for keeping the tradition going. What with all the defence cuts, who knows how much longer we will have any form of current sponsorship? But, with this Association at least, the Bty will be represented for a good few years yet.
Tony, did my duty this morning. I hope all of the OCA did likewise? I'm pretty certain that you would because, like me, you know the sacrifices that were made to make sure we retain the privilege of having a choice of who governs us. I just hope that the incoming government, whom so ever they may be, are suitably appreciative of that fact! Though, somehow, I doubt it. I fear it will be the same lot and they will see this further term as some sort of vote of confidence. I still live in hope that the result will be a shock to them or at least a wake-up call but I'm not holding my breath! Oh well, at least it's nearly all over for another four years.
I like the Sgt Maj story too. Reminds me of the Bty parade one morning where we were all ordered to drop our trousers for a short arm inspection. The BSM comes up to the first guy and lets him have such a whack in the stomach with his stick. "Does that hurt soldier?" enquires the BSM. "No Sir!" exclaims the soldier. "Why's that?" asks the BSM. "Because I'm a Gunner and proud of it!" comes the answer. Moving down the front rank, the BSM gives out the same treatment to each man and gets the same answer. Coming to the second but last man in the front rank, he is rather taken aback to see the guy has a pretty impressive 'woody'. Whack! goes his stick, right across the rigid member. "does that hurt?" asks the BSM. "No Sir!" comes the surprising answer. "Why not?" asks the BSM. "Because it belongs to the guy behind me, Sir!" comes the reply.
OK....................I'll get me coat!
