Q: How many A&E techs does it take to screw in a light bulb if a Greenie was not available ?
A: Five. One A&E Tiffy to hold the light bulb and four A&E class I techs to rotate the house.
Well, it is nice to see that some of us have not succumbed to Covid 19. I was musing the other night as to the names of Greenies with whom I have crossed paths. I know that greenies are not high in the A& E favourites christmas lists, but let us see if you know any of them:
(1) Brian Dickinson, Knew him in basic training, Penang Gurkhas and 75 at Singapore.Last I heard he became a WO I and then a commission to Captain.Retired and taught reprobates in his home town of ST Helens.
(2) John Fesel, I replaced him in Brunei, he was at 75 in Kluang and other mysterious places.Left the army and went sailing around the world trying to find himself.
((3) Trig Rogers. Was at 75 Kluang went back to Wallop and Greenie Hell. I had one contact two years ago and he dropped off the face of the earth. His e mail was disabled.
(4)Paddy Hammond. Was everywhere including Kluang Jws Sharjah and other unmentionable locations. Last contact he was working for the Canadian Railroads, a bitter man. What happened to him? He admitted to a hostility over HM"s policies in Northern Ireland. No contact since then.
So gentlemen, there you have it, I had defend the Greenie honour with a joke to counter Geordie"s.
I wonder as to how many of you remember me, but Greenies as they say are like cow manure, useful if spread out, but in a heap...they stink !!
This is, after all ( July and August) what they call the "silly season". Yet all that being said, am I the only Greenie on this website? It speaks volumes or have we all faded away with the Ohms, Volts and Amps?
Be well all of you, stay safe.
Bye the bye, any one heard from Magic? Last e mail I got was this time last year and his ticker was not up to snuff.
Regards Fred
