Nickname muppet dose anyone know were any of the Chatham buglers are now. Not very good at computers just learning my worlds greatest son has to do it all. lesbryan Hi mark keep at the old puter it will all come in time Hornblower Hey Mark - I remember you. You were there when I left in 1977 and were still there when I got back in 1981. Trawl through the early threads mate and you'll see all sortsa names popping up at you and photos of Chatham bulgers too! (All with clothes on) Stu Thorn Siegfried Welcome Mark admin Hello Muppet, I was your relief at Chatham! The only other Fleet Bulgers on here are Tommo and Mac. There are others but they don't post or register Aaron Aardvark Hello Muppet........Im a bit disturbed that Deli was your relief. mark peers i know some of you probably all of you just got to work out all your nicknames on this forum no some of them such as stu hornblower and admin and errol ill sus the rest out in time Rachael welcome Mark! - i'm fairly new here too. Hornblower mark peers wrote: i know some of you probably all of you just got to work out all your nicknames on this forum no some of them such as stu hornblower and admin and errol ill sus the rest out in time Mark - have a look at your keyboard. Done it yet? Take another second... Just below the K & L keys (just to the right & below) you'll see another 2 with little arrows above what looks like a full stop on the right-hand one and a baby tadpole on the other. The one on the right actually IS a full stop - which is why it looks like one. The other is not really a baby tadpole, it's a comma - sometimes used to represent a pause in speech. Usually, when you take a breath in real life, a comma is employed in the written word to show it. Women don't use these in real-life speech because it gives other people a chance to get a word in edgeways. Us men however, do use them. (See, I put one in there - ooh and another!) Sorry mate - couldn't resist! Don't let me put you off, you just go right on ahead and put what you like. The important bit is that you come back often and get your dits out for us all.

Never mind if you don't remember me. When i find it , I'll email you a photo taken in Esquimalt, just after I was promoted. My mess was a very social one, along with the other two fwd gunners messes. An awful lot of beer was consumed, even though we had only 3 per day. You used to come for "tins" in our mess, with Al, Steve Grant and Sproz. If you don't know, Sproz sadly Passed away some time ago. If you look at the obituary section, you will be able to read the posts.        The Royal Marines Band Service On-line Community Forum Index -> Introduce yourself Page 1 of 1
