    I love that kind of thing. I quite like it when something is misheard, too.

    My son used to call dual carriageway 'George Carroway' so that's one we still use regularly.

    In the car with Sam on the way to football today, wearing my Heuer Bund...

    Sam: God, that watch is ugly.

    Me: It's a military watch, Sam.

    Sam: You're not military though, Dad. You're 52 years old and you work from an office at home.

    According to the Budget calculator on the BBC website, I will be £251 better off over the next 12 months.

    £336 for me and mine. Believe that when I see it, and even if I do it and then some will be swallowed up by my extortionate London rent which is bound to leap like a salmon way above inflation.

    One of the many life skills taught by the army is how to shout VERY loudly and the gentleman who jumped in front of me in the taxi queue last night found this out. It had been a long day's travel and spending over 2 hours on the tarmac at Heathrow in a plane full of little Tarquins and Tamara's on the way to their Easter skiing holidays hadn't helped. Waiting 30 minutes for bags to arrive and finding a distinct dearth of taxis (together with the couple of Negronis I had in the lounge at Geneva) meant that the self-important twunt who thought that he'd just jump in ahead got "STOP! THAT IS NOT YOUR TAXI; GET BACK IN THE QUEUE" at full, All Arms Drill Wing, volume. With hindsight watching him jump two feet in the air as he was about to grasp the door handle was bloody funny and looked a little bit like the start of a breakdance routine - I was standing just behind him and my ears hadn't popped yet. The taxi driver was a bit nervous on the drive home but it all ended well.

    Although we don't have any snow here in the Deep South, I'm still fed up with winter and want it to go away.

    Amazing! I've just been bidding on a used Giottos MTL8361B tripod on eBay. It went for £242 (£227 plus £15 postage) and I've just bought exactly the same thing BNIB from Amazon instead for £189 delivered.

    What are these people thinking?

    Am I the only one who's seen the new iTrader tab for member feedback, because I can't find a thread about it?

    Nice one Eddie - that's a genuine improvement on the H&V of old. (By the way, I think you can also add it to the "context menu" that pops up when you click on a member name in the sidebar.)

    I was accompanying an officer to the Mess one lunchtime at Aldershot barracks and we were chatting away when, without warning, he shouted at two soldiers manning the gates for some transgression he'd spotted. They jumped to attention - but nowhere as high as I did, he bloody deafened me! (Never knew you chaps were taught it, btw).

    Sad but what was the point in trying so hard all my working life and only end up here.

    Indeed, but the golf was good today. You woud be amazed how far a golf ball will travel at 3000 ft and 32 degrees of heat. Plus you can get a caddie for 200 rupee or £3 in proper money. Had to have a caddie just to carry the two litres of water I drank - without having a pee - like a sponge !

    Internet connectivity from the room is however. 600 rupees and it's not quick.

    Only 5 sleeps to go.

    Seen 2 crows mating near the footpaths on the ground, just behind the fence...and I thought...dirty birds, get a nest or private branch. However I was quite pleased to see this rare occurance, as I've never seen it before

    Next morning one of them was still there...dead

    I thing they were not mating...
