Taff Thomas on Lightnings at Gutersloh was on billet orderly post a bull night.
The then Sgt discip from the Guardroom, "Paddy the Blanket!" walked into the toilets, had a look around, then in his best brogue told Taff, "Thomas, these ablutions are like a shi*thouse!"
Couldn't argue with that!

Whilst doing a course at the much loved ex base in north Somerset (that wasn't good enough for whinging immigrants to live in). I was walking past the square when a cheeky young chappie sauntered across said hallowed ground (do they still have them these days or are they all car parks?), when bellowed from the other side by the SWO was ...." You airman!" the aforementioned chap replied (with a pointing finger...) "You SWO!" and promptly carried on walking away!.
As can be imagined...much merryment and mirth was had by this as the SWO was a well knowned alkiholic and could never see that far to identify said chappy!.:PDT_Xtremez_30:

Reminds me of 'Exocet' on QCS at Uxbridge. A young LACW was cutting across the hallowed tarmac to the mess when a voice from nowhere booms 'YOU THERE, ONLY 2 PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED ON MY PARADE SQUARE, THAT'S ME & GOD. GOD IS ONLY HERE BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE HIM!' Young LACW was a quivering wreck by the time she reached the mess.

A certain SNCO I know, when queried bay any of the juniors as to why they were tidying workshops/sweeping the hangar out would tap his shoulder with 3 fingers & say ' here's 3 good reasons why you should do it '
 
Whilst hiding his rank slides under his hands, a crusty SNCO when challenged over something would say........Would you like to play Rank Poker.......You Lose!!!!!
 
found myself saying this at my new place of work when being told my idea was a bad 'un for an obvious reason...

"Good point, well presented - nice use of colour"

Back when I was in 'super-clerk' training - and no, it didn't involve wearing underwear over our trousers, I remember sitting outside Campbell Block at Hereford with another trainee who decided to gob just as the discip cpl walked around the corner.

Said cpl walked up to scrote and I. I stood up. Scrote looked at cpl.

Cpl "go and wipe that up"
Scrote "I'm off duty"

Cpl looked at me, turned purple.
I walked away before meltdown occurred.

That wouldn't have been the one-eyed Terry Boisell (now departed ex-SWO) by any chance?
 
While holding one finger (you choose which one) in front of somebody who has given a hard luck story, simply say "Ohh look, not even a flicker on my give fcuk-o-meter"

Harsh but fair
 
Q:did you iron that shirt this morning?
A:Yes

Would you like a towel? The backs of your ears appear a little damp.
 
My OC would tell me "Cpl **** you are like a stick of rock, RAF through the Core!" This coming from a 24 year old, wasn't quite sure if he was all there!
 
When some one complains because they feel sick:

point finger, chuckle and say "even your body hates you"

I new that tit at swinderby.


First met him when he was Discip Sgt at Hereford, and also SNCO i/c our barrack block. Day 1 of trade training course, and he approached me (as senior man for said course) with a bill for a pi55-stained mattress.

He pulled me to one side and tried ordering me to pay him the full amount directly (about £18 if I remember) and get equal shares from the rest of the course in the 12-man room so that I wasn't out of pocket.

"Uncle Terry" wasn't too happy when I refused, stating that our course had only been in the block for the past hour and hadn't even had time to unpack our bags yet. He was even less impressed when we found out a few days later that it was he who had soiled the thing himself after a night out on the pop, and rather than face the wife he had spent the night in his empty barrack block!

He and I never did seem to get along after that. Wonder why..... ******
