Remember Tom Sparks??
I have just returned from a tour to Torquay with a Bowls Club from Rochester, Kent and had the pleasure of meeting an ex Royal, Tom Sparks, now in his 80s. Tom served from 1938 to 1946 in Palestine and was a fuel bowser driver that resupplied the Recce Troop. When Tom first went to Palestine it was still cavalry and whilst there they were mechanised to armoured cars. He had some amazing stories to tell about the transition. If anyone knows anyone that might remember Tom then please contact me and I'll put them in touch. I truly remarkable Gent. Alabest Tiger

when we Gunners AFV were trained not to use main gun on a ,SOFT SKIN vehicle, just the MG fuel tank under the body .
They had more crew protection than than a landrover , other than a Barrett Rife of course maybe some one can pass it on to Genreal Staff.

THE FACELIFT
A woman decides to have a facelift for her 50th birthday. She spends £10,000 and feels pretty good about the result. On her way home, she stops at the newsagent and buys a newspaper. Before leaving she says to the assistant "How old do you think I am". "About 30" is the reply. "No I'm actually 50" the woman replies happily.
A little while later she goes into the chemists and asks the counter assistant the very same question. The girls replies "28 I would think". The woman replies with a big smile "No I'm 50".
While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting with her the very same question. He replies "Lady I'm 84 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was a lad I could always tell exactly the age of a woman when I felt her breasts"
They wait in silence until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out "What the hell, but make it quick". He slips both hands under her bra and slowly bounces and weighs each breast in the palm of his hands.
"Okay, Okay thats enough - How old am".
"Lady you are 50". Stunned and amazed the woman says "That's incredible, how could you tell". "Easy I was behind you in the queue in the chemists".

IRISH JOKE
Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrive at an Irish border checkpoint. Paddy the Police Officer stops them and says "It's illegal to carry 5 people in a Quattro, because Quattro means four".
The driver retorts disbelievingly, "Officer, take a look at my papers, this car is designed to carry five people".
"You cannot pull that one on me" replies Paddy. "Quattro means four, you have 5 people in your car and are therefore breaking the law".
The driver replies angrily "You idiot! Call your superior over, I want to speak to someone with more intelligence than you".
"Sorry" replies Paddy "Murphy is busy with 2 guys in a Fiat Uno".

His eyes lit up,thought,this is my lucky day,not wanting to lose the moment he embraced her and gave it his all;right there on the kitchen table.
Afterwards she said "thanks",and returned to the cooker.

ESSEX HURRICANE APPEAL
A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) and an earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter Scale, hit Essex in the early hours of today. It's epicentre was in Basildon. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".
The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately ì§™30 worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementoes from Majorca and Costa Del Sol were damaged beyond repair.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were also lost'
Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived.
Radio Essex reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened to Basildon.
One resident - Tracy Smith, a 15 year old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was spraying on me tan and watching Trisha on the telly".
Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Argos and bone china from Pound Stretchers.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels. The most needed items are:-
Fila or Burberry baseball caps
Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)_
Rockport Boots
Any other items usually sold in Primark
Required foodstuffs include:-
Microwave meals
Tins of baked beans
Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew
Remember:-
22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms
ì§™1 buys chips for a family of 9
ì§™6 buys a packet of B & H fags for those still shell shocked
Breaking News
Rescue workers have found a girl in the rubble smothered in raspberry alco-pop. They asked "Where you bleeding from". "Romford" said the girl, "woss that gotta do wiv you".

H C A AUSTRALASIA
NOTICE TO ALL POTENTIAL MEMBERS
Many of you have indicated that you are keen to become members of the Household Cavalry Association Australasia when this was first suggested.
Numerous steps had to be taken to ensure that such a project would have the support and approval from the hierarchy, and that we had a significant number of potential members to make this venture viable. We have received approval from The Silver Stick, Col Patrick Tabor and currently we have approximately 40 – 50 potential members on record across Australia and New Zealand. In order to proceed to the next level we need to do a proper ‘head count’ to show the strength of the potential membership.
I have compiled a ‘Potential Membership Notification’ form and would appreciate it very much if this could be completed and returned to me as soon as possible by all who are keen to become members.
You will only need to fill out the ‘Personal and Service Details’ at this point. This is purely to indicate your intention and to indicate which Regiment you served in.
I am very aware that there are those who would like to be members but do not have access to a computer or email. I have, therefore, inserted a section at the bottom of the form for you to indicate your preference of correspondence (e.g. email or via postage).
You will note that there is no mention of membership fees on this form, the reason being that no membership fee has been set but I can assure you that the fees will be minimal and similar to those of other branches. Many of you have indicated your thoughts on fee charges and I have taken this into consideration. Donations will be more than appreciated as well.
Please do not send any money at this time.
As soon as we receive the completed forms and have a better indication of numbers, a formal membership application form will be forwarded indicating membership fees, details of payment and other membership benefits.
It would be appreciated if this information and the form could be passed on to those who do not have access to computers and are unable to access any of the Bulletin Boards.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely

Crackling
Mary had a little pig
She kept it fat and plastered
And when the price of pork went up
She shot the little bastard
************
Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead
Now it goes to school with her
Between two bits of bread!
************
Even nursery rhyms get modern these days.

CHINESE CYBER WARFARE
This weeks MOD Oracle states that the Chinese are very advanced in their Cyber Warfare capabilities. They are hacking into Goverment computers etc. Who knows they may well be reading this message, so take care what you post on this BB. Just incase they have hacked into this BB, I'll have a large portion of chicken curry with fried rice and prawn crackers.
