and ends in "anMonnery"!
Do I win a prize? (and no, I don't want his trousers!)

From what I remember, they blew back in the rear skylight on the coach only to be lobbed out again!

Who got lobbed out of the back of the coach deep in the New Territories and STILL got back to Prince of Wales block HMS Tamar (Hong Kong) before the coach? (To a rousing cheer because the Beast of Fleet Band, complete with hump, knew he'd been thrown out, the tw*t)

Sorry this has nothing to do with Australia 88, but it had to be asked!!!

Hang about, if memory serves me correct we never crossed Sydney Bridge on the FMB 1988 tour. I remember Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart and Perth, but did I miss Sudney? Surely not....Booty :O)

Ahhh, that wasn't the FMB tour then, that was obviously a different one. I knew I drank a lot, but I thought I would have remembered Sydney......Booty :O)
