    I have my book. Those of you who do not have THE book are dead to me.

    ..........however, I have a complaint for the compositors as, clearly, there has been sabotage. I was led to believe that the QUALITY FAMOUS PUBLISHED AUTHOR was a fine figure of Scottish manhood: clear of eye, firm jawed, clean limbed and with all his own teeth. But there, on the jacket, a substitute photo of what can only be described as a posh pikey, a tinker ne'er- do-well who seems to be more than on nodding terms with the Devils Buttermilk.

    The QUALITY FAMOUS PUBLISHED AUTHOR(pbuh) must be outraged. Or pissed.
    The pen is mightier than the sword - until you meet someone who has knowledge of simple chemistry, metal forging and ballistics.

    Be warned: I bear malice.

    Aw, that is a shame pet lamb.

    Moving on, how many times have we discussed your church attendance? And the fact that you have problems in your life whilst those of us who attend church on a regular basis do not. Because we are right with Jesus.

    Everybody else has got their book. Everybody else attends church on a regular basis.

    You have not got your book. You avoid church and tell me Jesus is a load of made-up bollocks to gull The Workers into a false sense of security. Who is laughing now, bookless Heretic Communist?

    Tomorrow is Sunday. Do not disappoint me.

    Fcuk me! How to respond to this thoughtful, well presented and insightful post?! Well, I shall resist the obvious response and just say that,

    a. Scottish - Check

    b. Clear of eye-Check, well at the mo for sure, but, well fairs fair, there'll probably be some bloodshotedness and batter come the morn.

    c.Firm Jawed - Check. Doesn't seem to be that loose but tricky to tell under my Cat Weasel like face fungus.

    d.Clean Limbed -Check. Definitely clean of limb and everything else. Had two showers tonight to wash the fcuking half fcuking gallon of fcuking gearbox fcuking oil out of my windswept and flowing fcuking locks that I got dosed with when extracting a fcuking gearbox from a Fiat fucking Punto this afternoon.

    e.Teeth -Check. I'll have you know that every tooth in my head is my own. OK?

    f.The Rest - You never did meet any Wagtails, Groundhogs or Snappers in real life did you? Your description in the last part of your post would be accepted as downright flattery by anyone I served with in the ADU.



    aaaaannnnddddddd now!? You can fcuk off!!

    Enjoy the book.

    REgards Rab.

    Ubique ya bass !

    PS. My hair always looked really smart. When I was wearing my bone dome!!

    PPS Why the fcuk did Badges from the units we worked with not like us? Cnuts! Obviously!

    PPPS or PSSS?! The QUALITY FAMOUS PUBLISHED AUTHOR is most definateley not outraged!! But...HIC!!!

    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    Trouble with your instructions, Mr. The Duke, is that there isn't enough time in the day to love ALL my neighbours and go to church as well. Thank heavens it's only a small village, but all this loving is very tiring you know.

    And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
    Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.
    They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
    If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
    And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
    Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
    Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
    For today we have naming of parts.
