Alright lads, it's Basher 'ere. 'ow you doin' then? Good? Lucky you! I's been incapacip...incorp...inpacacitat...I'm on light duties; excused sitting down coz I got a boil on me b....coz I got a boil! H'anyway, the Old Man; the Colonel that is, 'e's orf to Scotland again for a wargames maneuvers....wassit called..oh yer, Claymore, up in Hedinburrah. One of the other drivers has driven 'im there as I'm excused because of my...h'ailment.
So 'e's off wiv the advance party and I gotta travel up wif the main body along wiv the QM. The Old Man says I can travel in one of the 3 tonners standing up in the vertical position to, as 'e sez, ease my predicament. 'E seems to find it 'ighly amusing that I got a boil on my....where I got it...and that I 'ave been excused sitting. Sez I am now h'officially allowed ter lie down on the job now for a change; cheeky beggar. Any more of that and I'll drop 'is blinking suitcases and 'is over night kit will get smashed. 'E'll get 'ell of Mrs Colonel if 'e goes 'ome with his fings stinking of whisky.
H'anyway, before 'e left, 'e told me to get this note pinned up on the notice board in RHQ for the attention of all them as is attending the manouvers in wasname..oh yeah, Hedinburrah.
