ExercisesAnyone remember any interesting exercises?
I well remember one in a place called Totendorf. I don't know who was the most surprised, us in our full battle gear, or the naturists enjoying a bit of sunshine!
Then there was the time we stopped at this place that had a bier sign outside so we thought 'pub'..well you would wouldn't you? it was a hot day so we thought "who'd know?" and slipped in for a swift half. We sat down and and got some strange looks from the barmaid sitting there in all our tackle but we thought, even we are entitled to a break. Asked for "drei bier bitte" and got served quickly. The old dear in the corner doing her knitting gave us a few looks, and the landlord looked none to friendly and sent the kids out. No other punters...then we went to pay and they said "nein, nein"...
"Oh well" we thought and went on our merry way, then found out after it was someones house!!!
Marlene explained to me that her grandad had a licence to sell bier from his cellar and that meant just put a bier sign up and sell it like an off license. Well how were we to know?

ExercisesMarlene, pure jealousy, you joined as I left, so who knows????
Trust me though, Clivicus was / is and always woud be the better choice, unless you fancied a boring Taurean.

Re: ExercisesFunny you should say that Mike. Just before I went to Langeleben I was working at a stockbrokers in London and down Petticoat Lane I was approached by a gypsy (no relation to Gypo) and she offered to tell my future. Well as I was about to embark on an adventure I thought why not. She said "You are a Taurean I can tell my dear" I said "no actually I am a Gemini"...."well," says she "you have the figure of a Taurean..." Whaaattt?? Just before I asked for my money back and told her where to stick her lucky heather she did say the world was my oyster and I was about to meet the man of my dreams. Well actually the man of my dreams at that time was a young David Essex, but Clive will do.

ExercisesPardon me but what is wrong with the figure of a Taurean? I am a typical Taurean, red eyed, slobbering snorting at everyone and measuring the same at chest and hips with with a 'deeper stomach'. Don't go any further co's that a NO.

Re: ExercisesLOL!!!
Well all I can say is does this look like someone built like a bull? This is me down Petticoat lane with my friend on the day I met the gypsy. I am the one on the left with flat cap.

I don't come on too often but am just catching up on news. The only name I recognise is Tom,s, we were at Langeleben at the same time I think, 57, and, what is all this about a NAAFI? No decent NAAFI manager would go near the place in my day. Our NAAFI was Big Shummans or The Deutches Hous, curtetsy of the 7pm (1900hrs) truck to 'slutter. John Fortey

Hello John,
Nice to hear from you again. Are you going to make it to the reunion this year?

ExercisesBloody Hell John, in '57, dependent when, I was in either the 2nd Form or 3rd Form at Hanley High, still an innocent, as I hadn't met Pete Shoreland (Shorep) and still respecting authority.
When you say the only name you recognise is Tom's, is that Tom Neal or Tom Webmaster? I am afraid that my Lanageleben was purely 225 Sigs, I moved down with them from Scharfoldendorf and when I had run out of ways of making money, moved on to Birgelin.
Why are your visits so rare, if I'm not being nosey? If I am, why are your visits so rare? I would think that twixt Tom, JR, Kerby and Paul Croxson you will find a common denominator. In any case Paul will have your name by now and will eke out every item of info that you posess for his History epic.
Please, don't do a runner, you don't have to waffle on like me but the odd, or even sane contribution on a reasonably regular basis will be more than appreciated.
Just go back on the messages on this topic and look at the two young ladies in the 'Hello Dearie, Looking for a Good Time pose'. One of them is Marlene, who you will see initiated this post and a 'Reet Comely Wench', what more incentive do you need????

Young Mike, I meant Tom Neal when I said Tom. And another thing, don't critisize my woffle, or waffle, I am a fully qualified waffler, that's why I was retired early. I have said in other places, but in 57 we didn't sleep in tents but we did work in the back of trucks. The theory was that when our friends wanted to visit us we stayed in the trucks and just drove out leaving our big,and thoughtfully placed poles behind. We were supposed to get a codeword to let us know what was happening, probably to be delivered by our eastern friends. This happened one when I was there. Our shortest evacuation time was meant to be 15 minutes, it took us 7 minutes to find the envelope, on top of a wardrobe as I remember. It was a practice so we all continued in our "induced" slumbers. One early morning when I was bored and the birds were chirping so loudly, and A watch was not finding, or probably not looking too hard, for anything interesting, I tried to start our vintage modesof transport. of the 4, I think, lorries, 2 had batteries but only one actually started. I'm glad to say it was our office wagon but at the time I couldn't drive so I would have to have waited for someone who could. That was when Men were Men and cooks didn't have to wash their hands, well ours didn't anyway but he was a good cook. John Fortey
