Well the landlady who happens to be none other than my sister Lilo Lil...so I knew all about the shenanigans and the lock in,she said pete had been extremely boastful of his pistol,and would be extremely surprised if it was powerful enough to fire anything but blanks.
I do think my privates should be more choosy where they display and discharge their weapons....where is pte Gramps is he in the latrines again,,or attempting to raise the flagpole and fly the flag....The plot thickens

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 14:15:54

What else would I mean?

Pete Thu 21-Jun-12 14:11:08

jeni do you mean a petard...don't think so and certainly wouldn't fancy being hoisted by it grannylin !! Could be nasty...Must remember not to mention my pistol on here again.... wink

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 13:49:26

Has he got one? Pete do you have one?

Grannylin Thu 21-Jun-12 13:40:24

.....or hoisted by his own petard grin

Pete Thu 21-Jun-12 13:39:58

grin

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 13:36:40

grin titter!

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 13:13:30

Ladies, ladies! I think a little more decorum or we'll have GNHQ breathing down our necks!
We might also be deleted on grounds of sexism!

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 13:02:26

Yes - especially if it goes off at half-cock...confused

Ella46 Thu 21-Jun-12 12:56:00

I hope he keeps his pistol in its holster! grin Could give nellie a nasty shock!

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 12:42:52

A licence to thrill...? grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 12:38:17

And keeps his 'pistol' polished and presumably loaded? I trust he has a licence for it?grin

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 12:33:03

Anagram...nellie will put Pete in solitary confinement when she gets wind of a rival...grin

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 12:27:06

I think nellie may have competition in the form of the pub landlady, soop! That Pete's a bit of a dark horse on the quiet....hmm

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 12:19:48

Pete Seems to me that naughty nellie put you and Gramps through your paces. Did you pass her rigorous kit inspection! grin

Pete Thu 21-Jun-12 12:16:51

gramps The fog lifted now so get yourself home for a Full English smile Don't use my pistol much but it's kept in good order by regular polishing. Only just made it to the pub, as there seemed to be lots of 'goings on' around the mill. The Landlady was about to close up, but said I could have 'a quick one in the back room' Well one turned into a few (think she was impressed with my uniform and balaclava) ....Woke up under the pool table........all in the line of duty grin

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 11:58:37

Ps Forgot to mention Donald would he be the regimental mascot?

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 11:57:19

nellie Pete Gramps...I'm so enjoying these escapades. I'm wearing a huge grin

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 08:27:51

You can get arrested wandering in the dark in a balaclava it leads to all sorts of misunderstandings,especially in the dark.
Any excuse to go a.w.o.l. And head off to the pub.
Ahh a new recruit pte gramps....we have dads army...don't panic cpt mainwairing.
Hope pete took his balaclava off in the pub.
Donald up and out early for his paperound,he delivers up by the old mill by the stream found evidence of some malarkey amongst the bulrushes.

gramps Wed 20-Jun-12 23:31:14

Hi Pete. I'm still rambling around in the dark - tripped over a courting couple earlier, don't know who they were, but NOT any one I recognised by the language. I think it was foreign, but I understood the general gist of it!!
I hope this fog clears soon, I'm starving and thursday (or friday) without me "hardtack" rations!!
Be a good bloke and use your very pistol, if you have one! Ta muchly!!

Pete Wed 20-Jun-12 22:14:34

Can't believe it......I'm at the 'old mill' by the stream...and no one is here !! Head is boiling in this balaclava.....Think I'll head off to the pub and catch last orders, getting sick of these bats now.... smile

nelliedeane Wed 20-Jun-12 21:02:09
