Hmm what's so special about today. Well nothing earth shattering. Only today is my first day as a civvy since I took the Queen's shilling in 1977. Six years in the regular army, twenty-two in the TA and thirty in the cops. EEK! (I've had to update my profile)
Well that does mean that for the moment (and rugger permitting) there is now time for some serious gaming. Huzza!
There is a major match on today and my little cupid friend sums it up quite nicely.
See you all soon in the blogsphere. Thanks for popping by.
ERIN GO BRAGH!!!!!
Lorcan.

ReplyDeleteThe "major match" you refer to is I presume "egg-chasing", the one pleayed by men with funny shaped balls - enjoy !
ReplyDeleteSpot on. I did enjoy it but not the result :-(
DeleteEnd of era stuff! Enjoy your freedom!

ReplyDeleteYou, more than most, have earned your retirement! Bravo Sir.
ReplyDeleteThat's a long time, I was only 4 in 1977, enjoy your freedom, im looking forward to some avbcw batreps
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming that the 22 years in the TA and the 30 in the police were simultaneous. Otherwise I can't make the numbers match the date!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope you enjoy your new free time :-) .
