ARmy Rumour SErvice

Funnily enough neither appear in these accounts - but then they are staff reports

David - thanks both copies safely arrived out here in SEA.


A_S you have done a cracking job stringing what were first-class funny forum posts together into a side-splittingly cohesive narrative that must have been a daunting task producing a 240page book.

As the WG Razzman may now possibly say "GLEAMING WORK A_S" - especially as the mess silver has been cleaned!

In reading it in one sitting a few queries occurred to me.
1. What happened to your Para mucker you did your course with?
2. Have you excised the post when lads got Stumpy all excited on the disco floor - if memory serves me right there was a wonderfully funny scene of the lads leading him more than on?
3. I fully intend giving my extra copy to septic friend, but I wonder how DavidBOC takes to it?
Not all septics have the understanding of a Jock serviceman's sense of humour.

Bunnygate was hoot [new, I believe from the original posts], but The Tube baiting The Snappers whilst the Argyll had the key had me in howls of the laughter [after the fourth rereading] as did [again] the ball-clenching episode in the Kesh which is good as Tom Sharpe's doberman ball-bighting scene with Konstabel Els in Riotous Assembly.

The Memsahib, who came in at times, incredulous to see tears of myrth about a book about a dog called Stumpy; when read passages coldly summed up her Asian thoughts, "That dog has a dirty mouth!"
Stumpy I'm sure would not disagree, nor would he be embarrassed by such cultural misunderstandings.

A_S I wish you much success with the book, and thank you for ending the seven-year long wait - as well as putting to bed the spurious post some years back, saying you were dead!

You have done a great service to the memory of a four-legged mucker, as well as the Royal Pet Corps.

Hoping for further editions that may perhaps have a glossary and a map of Norn Irn for the uninitiated.

Cheers,
Rhodie

Just finished reading the book. Brilliant read mate! Well done!

Fantastic account of a handler in NI. Your description skills are superb, the Para 'HATS! EVERYWHERE!' incident literally had me in tears from laughter in a public place haha! And your little tangents though irrelevant at times, I would not have wanted it any other way!!

To show my appreciation, I will not be sending you my underwear. You already belong on some kind of register. But instead, the remains of the egg banjo i just consumed!

Roll on book 2 in 2020!

More is to come, but as it is only in preparation by the author we have no timescale - but I will update things when we get nearer to the date.
Please don't nag or whitter - I just don't know how long it will take, nor what form it will be in.
I would particularly ask the kindlers to remain schtum!

And the bloody ad: Foxtrot Oscar!
