    Forgive me for stating the obvious, but if the Crabs hand over at 1200, and you pitch up at 1600, you won't be having tea & stickies in the MR section at all; there won't be one. You may perhaps be an ex-crab, having tea & stickies with some ex-mates, in the ex-MR section, but above all, you'll be a guest in an Army barracks.

    Interesting perspective you (ex-)crabs have. I was posted to RAF Upavon - the location, at the time, of the oldest RAF Officers' Mess. A fact that crabs used to remind me of all the time, although why, I don't know - I was a lancejack at the time. In retort, I pointed out that it had in fact been an RFC mess prior to the existence of the RAF. Now Upavon is Trenchard Lines, an Army camp, and the Mess has nothing remarkable about it all. Just a standard WW1 building.

    Perhaps the RAF should just "Fuck off back to where you fucking came from you usurping bunch of fucking big girls fucking blouses".

    Crabfat wanker.

    What's happening to the ex-RAF Kinloss RAF Regiment flight? MPGS on redundancy?

    Oh, and the Flt Sgts, ohne Warrant?

    Is Astatine a source of purely Olympics-drivel or can we tempt him into this arena? A wild comment about RAF closures being the cover for Soviet-era mutant gorilla experiments might prove more entertaining?

    I have been invited along with all ex KMRT members to a farewell tea and sticky bun do at the MR section to mark the end of Kinloss MRT, a team that has not only been part of the fabric of the station since 1944, but also of the Scottish highlands and part of my own life since 1965.

    Now I need some advice here from you army types.
    When I drive through the main gate present myself at the guardroom at around 16.00 next Thursday it will no longer be an RAF station, and I expect that my station visitors pass will be issued by a soldier of some description or other, so can you help with these questions Please?


    1. As all soldiers are members of the master race and heroes to a man would it be frowned on if I asked for autographs?

    2. If that is permissible should I only ask the ranking hero, or would it be OK if I just asked the entire gate guard.

    3. Could I ask them to pose for a photograph?

    4. Will it be seen as disrespectful to address them as mate, flower, china, or petal.

    Point 4 is of vital importance, as the last thing I want to do is give proper soldiers and members of the greatest army in the world, a bad impression of ex RAF chaps.

    However this may prove impossible as the little tea party may be somewhat trying, there will be a lot of ghosts there, and so when it is time to hand in passes at the guardroom some may be feeling a little tired and emotional.

    I fear that it is a possibility that certain gestures and comments could be directed toward the new tenants, but I will try to ensure that as far as possible, on my part at least, that this is restricted to a simple “Fuck you, you fucking shower of fucking arseholes, you fucking gormless army cunts, you. Fuck off back to where you fucking came from you usurping bunch of fucking big girls fucking blouses”.
    Or something like that.

    This would probably be accompanied a simple V sign, I think that I for one will draw the line at mooning on this occasion, its vulgar and could excite the soldiers in a sexual way, something I would want to avoid.
    Your advice on the points I have raised would be appreciated.

    I would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance to any members of 39 RE Regiment that may be on duty in the vicinity of Ex RAF Kinloss guardroom, if a lack of recognition of your ranks, and status as master race hero’s does not quite meet the standard you the rest of the best army in the world are used to, forgive us but we are only ex crabs.
    The guy on the gate will know you are an ex crab as you will still be sporting the pink lipstick from rest of your shirt lifting chums, now feck off back to the hole you came from you ex crab twat!
    If I should die, think only this of me : that there's some corner of a foreign field, That is forever England. The Soldier, Rupert Brooke.

    Autographs? Just turn up in your frock show the lads your arse and you will get all the autographs you want. Then again you knew that already didn't you? and if you are truthfull it's why you are going in the first place you cross dressing pufter.

    Well well. I do believe we shall be at the same bash? We have been invited by RN chums. I have a sort of post card thing with my name printed on it. The Doris has another one. With her name printed on it. I anticipate no problems on the gate.

    The traitorous Jacobite scum were part of the Scottish Highlands for a while and we fucked them right up the arsehole at Culloden. This is just an invite to a party.

    If you do get past the lads on the gate, would you watch my car for £20 cash? Thanks.

    Kilo, just tell them how great a hill walker you are. I am sure they will be really impressed. I know I am.

    You will be surprised to see that the Guardroom is not full of policemen and 'infantry' airmen. That is because guarding a barracks is a core skill for all soldiers, not a career for failed pilots.

    Anyway, have a lovely afternoon. Tea with an RAF MR reunion must be like getting kidnapped by the paramilitary wing of the Ramblers Association. You dull cunts.

    But to answer your original question, no need to fawn, we all know we are better than you. And so do you.
