Mornin' old 'uns.
Caravan roof cleaning this morning, before the rain comes along.
Just about my least favourite job.
Have you thought about taking it too a hand car wash, the guys around here do a caravan for about £20 roof and all.

Good morning all. Getting up in a minute, take dog for a walk and then.........whatever takes my fancy.

Off out at 1000hrs to get my new tattoo.
Seen my next tattoo. As an ex squaddie who's seen combat, albeit barely (our patrol was fired upon at XMG and we gleefully filled the air with lead by way of a response, no evidence we hit anything though) I'm entitled to wear the Punisher skull, and a union flag one seems good. Inside right forearm perhaps?

Good morning folks, sat in the cafe at Ullusthorpe, out early for a short ride before the day gets going.

We were outside the town, there wasn't a lot to hit. The odd cow, perhaps. We were a bit twitchy as the week before another patrol had taken fire, and a lad took a round in the receiver of his rifle, which saved his life, albeit it left his chest and hand pretty smashed up. One Shot Paddy was operating up near the border with a suspected Barrett M90 .50 rifle, and the big ol' half bore round slices through flak jackets like they weren't there. So when a round thumped into the ground by our feet and we then heard the boom of a fifty cal we just went rock and roll in the general direction of the horizon.
I've never been back to NI, and we're advised to inform PSNI of our travel plans if we do, but a mate of mine wandered up to watched the sangers being demolished about 15 years ago, and then went fishing! British squaddies still arent popular near the border, so he's got bigger stones than me.
@Dirk You were part of Op Banner?

With a view like that, it is a pleasure to take Molly for a walk.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
