You didn't need a dumb list to know that!!

I did 10 years in the service remember….there are some perks to it. Actually I have the RAF and RN to thank for 7 of them.

I thought you were just in the navy. I didnt realise you did RAF time too.

Search and Rescue. Then with the defense cuts they were disbanding the S&R squadron so I transferred to the RN. Handed in my RAF uniform and brylcream in on a Friday and picked up my Navy uniform and vaseline on the following Monday

I'm guessing this was written by an Australian due to the bias for Bridges, diving and Sunsets in Australia.

If it were not for the faux pas of not following the link, I would say, "you're the man now Dog". In my best Sean Connerey accent, of course.

You bet your sweet ass. $18 too.

Stereophonics on Sunday
Grandaddy and Superfurry Animals next Wedensday
Radiohead and Supergrass on the 23rd
Hot Hot Heat on the 25th
Interpol on the 29th

Of course, class has started for Smackette so she may have to back out of a couple. Wanna come?
