There not called crab air for nothing you know

 

A joke for all you sailor boys out there as we all know about the golden rivets

 

Camilla bought new shoes for her wedding which got increasingly tighter and tighter as the day went on. That night, when the festivities were finally over and they retired to their room, she flopped on the bed and said, 'Charles, darling. Please remove my shoes. My feet are killing me!'

 

Her ever-obedient Prince of Wales attacked her right shoe with vigor, but it would not budge. 'Harder!' yelled Camilla. 'Harder!' Charles yelled back, 'I'm trying, darling! But it's just so bloody tight!' 'Come on! Give it all you've got!' she cried. Finally, when it released, Charles let out a big groan and Camilla exclaimed, 'There! Oh, God, that feels so good!'

 

In their bedroom next door, the Queen said to Prince Phillip, 'See? I told you with a face like that, she was still a virgin!'

 

Meanwhile, as Charles tried to remove her left shoe, he cried, 'Oh, God, darling! This one's even tighter!'

 

At which Prince Phillip said to the Queen, "That's my boy, once a Navy man, always a Navy man!"

As do I, as part of my naval engineering apprenticeship we went for a look around the REME base at Bordon to see how the "other side" does it. We had a fabulous day out on the tank training ground

Oh god yes, please don´t remind me of Bordon.

 

I try to forget Bordon...not the town, just the camp.

 

I was there in 83 before i got posted out to Germany. I´d just finished my apprenticeship at Aborfield and spent most of my spare time underneath my Audi 100 Coupe S or driving it away from Bordon....

 

Does it still exist? (the camp not the town)

There's defo a pattern forming here

[Mk2Jo]

Vista ..... I can see the tanks from my house as I live towards the back of the tank training ground

 

Oldbus ... yes, the camp is still here although a lot of the RAF have moved out now and the army will be leaving in 2010 (ish)

 

It's okay here ... I only moved here in the late 80's because I couldn't afford to buy anywhere near home (West End, nr Woking). I had never heard of Bordon when I first moved here

[4parajon]

My dad spent a few years living in West end, him and his wife taught at Gordons so occasionally I'd drop by up there. I've always struggled to work out where one town/village ends and the next starts in that area.
