Hello all,

Had a good weekend with the lads they all send there regards and have said they will look at the site, Dave Fowle did is best to get me shit faced again, He wanted to buy a bottle of Glen Morange from behind the hotel bar but it would have cost £80.00 so we went back on the shandy ,Dave as a great Zest for life and is always fun to be with. all the best to everyone out there, Geoff

Hi Geoff i thought it would have been the other way round and you tried to get Dave rat arsed.

Glad you had a good weekend who have you tried to pressgang onto the site Geoff.

Ron Taplins name has surfaced heres hoping that he joins us on the site along with a few others ,

well take care and hello to all our members.

Our Ray where are you ,you haven't been on for a while hope you are fighting fit all the best Our Clive

Still here our Clive , Geoff you should have treated yourself to a bottle of Old Pultany Sir Robin Knox Jonstone's Favourate tipple or a Clynelish or Balvenie hic!

How hard did you twist our A/T RSM's arm to put a post on our 66C Website I hope you made him take the Queens Shilling when he was ratted?

I will be out for a sail at the end of the month but looking at the pressure charts at every port of call there wont be a shortage of fresh water but as an optamist I think the sun will be out.

Still no Iranian gas in our pipeline only Nitrogen funny old world and now the Foreign Office have declared the UAE Terrorism Level "HIGH" our friends Al Khyda not getting paid off enough so I will be looking under my bed for funny objects

Bye for now.

Hi our Ray, tell you what, I'll do you a swap, you send me your petrol at 80 pence a gallon and Ill send you fresh bottled water for the same, lol, well when you go sailing don,t forget your cam, take care

Colin

Steve Yeomans, I know you are out there so how about adding a few words and if possible some old snaps of our time at Chep. I've just about exhausted my supply of old Kodak Instamatic pics, they are all on the site, there must be more out there somewhere. Colin has done a great job getting the site up and running but, there are still several names from the past missing. We will be meeting up at the BOBA reunion in September to reminisce over a few beers, it would make it a much better reunion if a few more of the old faces turned up.

All the best Steve, hope we here from you.

Paul

Evenin' all,a question for Mike Ellis,where were you in Mexico where you did the underwater bit as shown in your photos?We are to the Eldorado resort in July,I can scuba but her indoors can't so would like to try the air fed helmet if possible;grateful for any info.

Hi Mal

We were staying in Cozumel and the place was called 'Chankanaab' which is a National Park where you can swim with Dolphins, which are right next to the Snuba dive area. It cost 60 dollars and you are down for 30 minutes at about 25'-30' deep. I can't do scuba because I tried and could not manage to use the regulator/demand valve. My Wife has sinus problems but always wanted to try it, got the pictures but must say I did enjoy the views. The helmet weighs 70 lbs so you climb down a ladder and they put it on as you decend. They also do Snuba in Bavaro in Dom Rep. Hope that helps you, also there is plenty of info on the web.

All the best

Mike

Hi Our Colin have you had a look at Ron Macdonalds photo of the pipeband 66-69 on Friends Reunited I think the Drum Major is Juppie?

Icebox still going strong

Two fingers now Stu you will make our Clive Jealous he problems putting one finger in the right place LOL.

Keith,

I wish we had had a bit more time in Canada to do the tourist bit. As we went over for my daughters wedding we were based in Saskatoon for the duration. Would loved to have hit the Rocky's. Daughter and Son in Law have plans to return to Blighty next year so will have to try and visit Canada as a normal tourist.

Are you based in Canada or have had the good luck to have worked there for a while.

Regards

John

Ray, Whats that a bash at the green latern, surprised thats still open , what about the ice box and the hole in the wall?? Great memories of Hameln.

glad to see a lot of the guys play golf, great game in fact I,m on the greens (thats golf greens not cabbage or sprouts) on wednesday, business of cause!!!!!.

Hi John, I see you were in Saskatoon, glad your trip went well, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick are the only Provinces in Canada that I haven,t been to at sometime or other.

Best Wishes to you all......Keith

Hello to all,

Stuart thanks for the offer but I think we are sorted I am told that we are playing the Rolls of Monmouth on Thursday afternoon, Dewstow Friday (a warm up for the Boba comp on Saturday), again at Dewstow. Have you thought about entering the boba competition I am sure you would enjoy the crack, although I must warn you its teaming with Bandits , Dave Fowle /Ady Picken just to mention a couple. Rumour has it that Dewstow have installed tethering posts in the car park for the boba lads.

all the best ,Geoff

To all concerned why don't you join the regulars on the instant chat on Wednesday night at 2000hrs and then we can all have a good chat and it will only be about 1500hrs with you Keith so why don,t you join us as well .

I know our Ray can't join us as it is way past his bedtime so come on lads do your best to come on line.

Take care all and see you all tomorrow night ok.

REgards Clive.

Christ Stuart you are getting the hang of it now two fingers as well cheers all.

Our Ray my other finger is still in the hole you made when you went ballistic with your bayonet lol

Come on Juppie what are you now going to do about the Mansfield boys challenge? You might get a Welsh 11 team with our Clive potting a few LOL

Hi John,

Emigrated to Canada in 1990, I live in Mississauga, which is on the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario, married 33 years with 1 son who will be 25 this year.

Hi Keith try this http://www.greenlantern-hameln.de/home.htm

Thanks Len

Regards

Ray

Hi Geoff, glad your sorted. If you need a free round give us a call.

All the best.

Keith,

We passed through Toronto airport on route back to UK, very nice clean and empty compared to Heathrow. Did not enjoy returning to UK, on arrival at heathrow it was raining and rained all day, and has rained most days since. what has happened to the great British summer???? I'm just pleased that the weather in Canada was hot and dry. The canadians were so friendly and helpful, some brits could learn a few things from them.

Stuart, we will have to get Ray initiated into the game of golf. I managed a few games out in canada, had to tee off at 0615hrs nice and cool before the heat of the day. I think the courses out with Ray lack a bit of the green stuff, only used for the greens.

Regards

John
