- Gentlemen, that reminds me....
Radar Pages Humour
Gentlemen, that reminds me....
(Or,
Pull up a sandbag lad, I wanna tell you a story!)
We all have a tale to tell; the pathos, the agony, the humour of working with radar, life in the services, odd assignments etc. If you have something we can all get a laugh from please send it in and I'll post it up here.
Enjoy....
Thanks
to my colleague Terry Andrews for forwarding these...
