Midges are our friends
and remember midges smell your fear...................
looks like a good weekend thanks for the pics
You're just teasing me with those pics Jason, I'm definately NOT missing the next meet, which needs to happen soon.
Looks like you guys had fun though and saw a few air guitar shots, are your knees bruised without your drum Tam?![]()
Scaramouch Scaramouch Will You Do The Fandango!!
Midge Canny Get In!!
Your right Scotty, you saw a lot of air guitar going on, you even missed our Tams rendition of AC/DC with his clothes thrown to the 4 winds, sobered me up quickly that did, but it was really funny if im being honest mate. Only thing missing was the Jaegermeister, although Ally did bring his 160% proof absinthe, not good let me tell you, although like all the other trips it was completely finished by the end of the weekend. A good laugh a usual. Im sure we will catch up at the next meet.
It's better to burn out than fade away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a quality weekendJason sent me a pic of Tam doing his 'rendition' so I got a wee chuckle at that.
Whens the next meet???![]()
Scaramouch Scaramouch Will You Do The Fandango!!

Aye, it was good to meet friends old and new. Shame about the weather though. Cameron enjoyed himself.
Trying to put a parachute up in a howling wind is fun (not).
We'll be back for the next one.

Aye Richie was cracking on the pipes eh!
It was great to meet some new faces!
I don't think anyone will forget Tam and Ally "dancing". lol.
George liked the wee knife I made up for him. Hopefully it will serve him well.
Jason - you're not wrong mate - it could quite easily be a swimming pool by the the time I finish it!

Was great to meet up with the usual suspects again, as usual the wit was flowing almost as quick as the overproof Absinthe and Rum!
Some great pics here that bring it all flowing back, Ally and Tam......crazy as ever......Jason managing to tell me the names of just about everybody I went to primary with and Coln winding him up about being "scum fae the schemes", finally getting to hear my good mate Richie on the pipes nearly brought a tear to my eye to accompany the lump in my throat and the pride in my chest!
Haven't laughed so much in ages, even had a grin to myself when the cargo chute lifted off with about 8 of us hanging on...
Pity about the weather and the deluge of MB'ers but the company made up for it as usual!
Hopefully I'll manage to squeeze another meet in before leaving the UK, whether its Comrie or further north..
If it does turn out it was my last meet, then I'd like to thank you one and all for the warm welcome and camraderie that I thought I'd never find again when I retired from the Service.
You have all been great and I'll miss you all!
Gaz ,we Will need ti get another meet organised before you go mate , and make it a full weekend this time ..
Yip am up for that ! you cant leave without a meet to send you off to oz Gaz !

Did anybody come across a pair of yellow handled scissors? They are missing from my kit and I know they were used to cut the paracord lines on the chute.

Another good laugh of a meet, I really enjoyed it. As did Pauline and Amy.
Eric, I was last to leave and did my usual check-up of the area but didn't see any scissors.
Tony.
Aye , Comrie was a good meet , great to see people and to be welcomed back like an old friend and also to meet some new faces.
I'm also glad you lot liked my wee pipes , but I hope you realise I was p****d as a laird at the time and playing was difficult
I've been ill since Comrie and this has been the first time in days I could muster the energy to post a reply.
Weather could have been better yes but the company could not have been better.
Hope to see you all again in the near future.
Oh , and I'm looking forwards to Andy's fruit bowl being finished.........need pics.
FOUND: - two wee plastic cups. Found them in the boot of my car today, must have been forgotten in the mad rush.
I think I know who these belong to but if you have lost a cup or cups I have them.
Cheers

I concur with Jason and Gaz's idea of a wee meet before you go Gaz and maybe we could all arrange to come a bit further north since its in honour of our wee cuddly toy soldier.
If how ever you are too busy with all your planning for your big move mate then it has been a pleasure meeting you too mate, even if you couldnt handle being a real man living under the water and had to make do with bang bang guns for a living. It is often strange when you first leave the forces and most people miss the constant, 24hrs on tap mates that you have in the services but any one who is as friendly and funny as you, will always attract like minded people as well as, dare i say it stunningly handsome ex submariners like myself.![]()
