Reunion 2011

Will everyone that intends going to the service at the NMA on the 19th please let me know as it seems that we need to know the numbers for that day, as you may know that members of the Blues are going to be there this year to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the forming of the RHG as well as ourselves,

I am in touch with Ian Taylor from the North Staffs Branch and Capt Peter Thellusson who have taken on the position of organising the service for the 19th, it appears that Capt Thelluson has notified the NMA of the day because of the high ranking officers that will be at the service, it also appears that Ian has received some paperwork to be filled in, upon reading the papers it seems that there may be a charge made by the NMA, we are hoping that it will be owing to how many members will be attending on the day and that we will be within the limit where we will not be charged as it is not certain what the numbers need to be as of this moment in time, when I know more which I hope will be when I have met up with Ian and Capt Thelluson at the NMA within the next couple of weeks.

who is the graffiti vandal of Ipoh.

Just treated myself to an excellent book. if you are into landscape design. it called the vertical garden. (from nature to the city) by  Patrick Blanc. he is an international renowned .Professor and artist .he also has his hair dyed GREEN ! who plants the facades of building with a sort of hydro-culture method .his book is well worth the 32 quid. TO THE POINT in this book I came across a photo of a limestone rock outside of Ipoh &showing through the chinese  writing  was english containing the Foxtrot word it looked like white army paint as issued by the "Scorpion's " tech stores. so come on who is mea culpa .own up so I can raise a barrack damage against you  to pay for me to go and remove it. Frank

How long has it been?

Well it has been quite a while since I made my appearance on here and so many things have happened. In no particular order, there has been a wedding, a granddaughter, floods, cyclones and to top it all, the water restrictions have been removed in Brisbane..we have plenty of water now.

Anyway, hope you have all been behaving yourselves...lol..but then that's a silly thought, knowing you lot...lol.
