Mellis works on more than 1 level now then don't it

M Ellis

But suppose it should be Maj or MAJ or Maj. Ellis

So that's

Ellis

Whatever

Quite a way up the officer rankings too - so Jim should have been 'throwing one up' for ages!

Jim! - Jankers for you my boy!

Heard a few funnies from a mate at work (ex Guards) re new recruits n stuff, were talking about the rights and wrongs of beasting etc can only remember one atm though (well that can be published on here!) ....

"I was in Baghdad when you were in your Dad's bag!"

Didn't like the bit about having to clean up the desert when they pulled out though!

Well, i managed to get to the bottom of the whole crap handling thing: dead wheel bearings and a different tyre on the front and the back. Never realised how much difference it could make! Just need some decent weather now to give it a thrash and see how it really stacks up against the old SP.

Watch this space!
