The difference is a tiny fraction of a second. We were in time, trust me. One hundred sixteen beats per minute, lofties ;)

Oh yes, see the front-left guy in our division? Daft bugger collapsed in the heat and smacked his face up. Silly sod had been told a dozen times, if you feel faint go down on one knee... not much sympathy as I had to carry his sorry arse around Dartmoor...

And, yes, when you arrive you're told to reset your watch to Dartmouth local time. The valley is in its own little warp bubble or something. Transport is largely in the form of rowing boats and the steam railway...

Have a butchers - most every officer in the Italian Navy was invited, and they turned up in this:

Just let the French win, eh?

Post by: diamondgeezer on June 25, 2005, 05:26:50 am: Nah, although the new entry got pinged for T200 the WAFUs are staying behind for a lovely week of intensive maths instead. Personally I'd rather have gone, I wanted to be driving the VIPs about in picket boats. Oh well.

Oh, and apparently during the battle recreation they're going to have 'red' and 'blue' teams so as not to upset to losers, that is to say the French and Spanish...

*shows aldo the door*

Btw, you know passing out parades are real? For when soldiers are given honourary discharge, etc... I passed out of my cadet unit in high school in year 12, for instance. Yeah, I know, poorly named. ;)

Post by: diamondgeezer on June 25, 2005, 11:10:03 am: Well, the full name is the Passing In/Passing Out Parade. The new entry become college juniors and the final phase seniors pass out in to the Fleet. And then, as Aldo said, there's bloody Al Rabah who just plain passed out like the idiot he is.
