Harry bright idea, 
buy or loan a computor that plugs into your car, get a eight year old kid to sort your car out! PS buy a stock of lollipops. 
Norman Ingram:
Harry bright idea,
Hiya,
Norm, that could become reality the repairs in the future may only need a certain button on
the computer to fix everything difficult maybe for me but a piece of cake for a kid where as
you say Norm a lollipop would be ample payment, the next possibility would be to show a
chimp what to do and your paypackets would only need to contain peanuts.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry Sack of peanuts cost about £40 stick to the sweets.
I went for a drink with Bagdad Bill Thomas and Alan a old Carlsberg Mechanic who came on driving with us, he had not seen Bill for over twenty years. Bill said he never took many photo’s for once when on early trip , him, Terry Taylor, they had a camera in Yugo taking pictures of the mountains, and they was pulled up by police and secret service and accused of taking photo’s of important intallations, bill said here is the camera take the film and you will see we are telling the truth, They lost the most of the day for the agent said they speak the truth release them. But Bill never took a camera with him again.
Went on the net and found out about the the two main camps I was in in Germany, first 31 Armoured Wksp was outside Rotenburg which was inbetween Bremen & Hamburg it was a German fighter squadron and in 1958 when I came out in April I found out it was gave back to them,my other place I was attached to lad to 29 Field Ambulance which was at Clive Barracks at Hildesheim about 20km from Hanover. Being at the Reme workshop I went to nearly every army camps in the BAOR to do pre inspection of army vehicles. When then needed a mechanic at the medical corp, I volunteered to join Lad at 29 field ambulance it was a small group of RASC drivers, polish,drivers, and three REME mechanic’s. It was smashing, own bedroom,get up have breakfast on our own parade at 8.30am a short march to the garage, life was sweet, use to play snooker against the medic’s colonel, regimental sergant major and segants, corporal’s and private’s, I won so many times I was handicaped, I had to give 60 start to the worst player’s. Then my dream world was shattered a new drill sergant was posted to the medic’s and he had a word with the Colonel about us parading with the rest of them at 6.00am in the morning, it was killing my lads after a couple of day’s, I was made sergant unpaid due to Sergant Dewar being demobbed, I told the lads I was giving the nod by the Colonel we was having a stand too at weekend to move out at 24 hours notice when playing him at snooker. So this was my plan, to make sure some of the vehicles did not start, the lads was too keen over half was out of commission. Colonel had me in his office and ask me why this was, I said I can only put it down to the new drill sergant, every thing has changed and upset my men. He call in this 4’ 6" scottish drill sergant in his office and said you have all of the medic’s to drill, leave the LAD REME & RASC alone, they are invisible to you , understand. " YES SIR" after marching out, I saw him outside, he said in a sarcastic tone, you are no Sergant, your just a grease monkey, I said in a mimic scottish voice Aye ye maybe right, but I certainly got you by your goolies, smiled and marched off. Next call out every vehicle was 100% well a couple of hickcups but we sorted them out.
Was hoping to get a few army buddies to reply, might not be silver surfers or trucknet visiters.
When I was on the Middle East, I used to buy silver and gold in Turky , and the several times I went to Saudi I picked up two gold wedding rings, a few bracelets, with other items I acquired in Uk. Last year we went to a pawn shop jewelers as asked for a price, my wife and I was very surprised when we was offered £ 1769, I made some good purchases in my younger days.

Hiya,

they tell me I can be heard miles away, I went to have my eyes tested on thursday, I told him I wanted my glasses tweaking for they could not do them last year as my lens clouded over, but since then I had it zapped a lot clearer but, reading and on the laptop makes it harder to see, it seems my eyes are working against each other. But was told my new glasses would sort it out. Just waiting for them to phone me to tell me they are ready.

I had my eyes tested last Monday Norm. Got cataracts on both eyes, but still got goo sight. The optician gave me a letter for my Doctor for a referral to an opthalmist to see if the one is ready to be removed, but as its on my lazy eye, it probably won’t make much difference. The one on my good eye hasn’t deteriorated, so doesn’t require treatment yet. When I can’t read the small adverts in the paper will be the time to sort it.
Cheers Dave.
get to your nearest specsavers dave . i took the wife last week and she has cataracts starting , they referred her straight to the hospital for removal , apparently you don’t have to wait until they get bad now , they can remove them at virtually any stage . cheers , dave

I go to Boots Dave, previously trading as Dolland & Aitchinson, usually pretty good. When I see the eye surgeon I shall ask about my other eye, and see what he/she thinks.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Methinks the old saying about playing with your willy at a young age you will
wear specs in later life well I made a deal with the optician as a youngster I
asked him if I wore glasses at an early age could I do it a little bit, and there
you go still wearing glasses as an old man but with 20/20 vision. 
thanks harry, long retired.
My opticians told me my left eye I had a op on is so good I coul drive with it,I told him it’s not my eye sight that stops me driving, it’s my bloodly legs, whats a matter with them, oh they have lost that loving feeling.

There’s me lived a pure life, but eyes need attention, and legs are knackered, so Harry’s theory goes out of the window Norm.
Cheers Dave.
Hiya,
