to Tom McGuinness
Hi Tom, Firstly we were so sorry to read about your accident, just wish we had heard sooner but by the sounds of things you have your head well above it now and being the fighter you always were and always will be you will over come this, the only thing is Margaret is a bit miffed about your chair you have the Porche and she has the Dell Boy Special.
I think you must be a bit confused it is Johnny (Geordie Jnr) who is in Aussie land although we have had a couple of trips visiting them. Unfortunately we are still in sunny Livingston same house but with plenty changes to it.
Still working away nothing else for it, I will give you my e-
it was great hearing from you please give our regards to Jackie, hope to hear from you soon

his name.He said Tam McLean passed away (the big C) Coackie is now ordained as a minister,he paid
a visit to Mary Hamilton looking for John.She
sent him packing (I guess you still dont argue
with Big Mary).Your pal was asking for any info
on old Skidmore,Ive not heard of him since late
70s,have you any info on him,
By Davie Howe on Monday, October 10, 2005 -
Hi John, regards to you and John Begg. I'm glad to hear that he is still around. No doubt John is retired and looking after himself? He is one of the good guys. Sorry to hear about Tam McLean and, as for Coackie, I think he was that type of person anyway!

Adam,
My house is in Livingston but have to stay at the college in Kincardine during the week. I have just less than two years to do here then I will go back on the beat hopefully back to West Lothian somewhere. The job here is great but it's not as strict as the Army and the probationers are classed as students so there is a lot of academic stuff to teach. Are you going to come up for a reunion when the battalion get back?
Terry,
Long time no here I'm doing well got two kids now which take up all my weekends.
Rab,
I'm not really working for a living as the job is really easy here compared to working on the beat but it's a great laugh with lot's of drinking involved. Speak to you soon.

Hi Sandy
We infantry did this as well as doing our main job you lot specialised at this. So you should have been better at it.
My father was a Yeoman Sigs(bunten tossers ??) in the RN. HMS Spragge ( Destroyer group) his brother was also a sparker on the HMS Indefatigable.
On my passing out parade at the depot he was asked by the CO what he thought about me joining the Army He said " He could have done a lot better by joining the Navy!!!!Nice start to my career.

Any suggestions?

What can I talk about ? I can't find anyone from 12Pl. "D" Coy Malaya 1955/1957 I have either upset some of them or they are all dead or perhaps not too good on the PC. Does anyone out there know ? Can anyone even from another Coy. who knew of me please get in touch.
Thanking you all in anticipation of an answer.

Hi ADAM
Good to see your still on the go.
As for Manchester I would do anything for a quiet one, no doubt you know I've got the neighbours from hell making life a misery but still trying to get it sorted by the law.

On a more serious note,
The Environmental Health people are going to put in recording equipment.
But here get this, they can't do it until the neighbours are informed that it's going to happen.
Whats the point? they will only stop for as long as the equipment is in. Still at least i might get a weekend sleep.

Sorry Dick the old grey matter is seeping oot ma ears these days, Remind me.
By Dick Davidson (Dickdavidson) on Friday, October 20, 2006 -
WULLIE,
I was 3 platoon, my plt sgt was big Tam Patterson. Ronnie Kane and Ewan Black were the full screws.
Anyhoo we were out on patrol on the Border in a hiding position in the Caledon Estate. I was on the L.M.G when a car burst past heading towards the border.
All of a sudden LT (fluffy) Scott went tearing of after the car, only to head back at twice the speed chased by a herd of cows. Of course it was smuggling and not terrorist activity.
The end result was we had to mind these cows for the weekend hence the nickname "the cowboy platoon"

I remember it now as if it was yesterday some laughs on that tour, Like stealing the chogies tick book, I wonder who done that lol. And tieing bacon strips to his door handle so he couldnt get out,
By Dick Davidson (Dickdavidson) on Saturday, October 21, 2006 -
WULLIE.
Now who could that have been? Maybe the "Swamp Rats" pmsl.
I remember wee McMahon on the front VCP belting a big guy in the belly only to discover he belted a belt buckle result a broken hand.
Do you remember wee Hammy "cows eyes" ? I'll never forget Canada when Ronnie Kane told him to tell the Tankies to move up during live field firing.
Wee Hammy didn't know about the tank telephone and was stood behind this lumbering beast of a chieftan shouting f~~~~ing move would ye.
Or when him and Ronnie were in a trench with the 84mm and Hammy let one go without even thinking about the backblast.
All I remember was the trench collapsing and two heads sticking out the dirt. lol
Oh and by the way me and wee Cush still wrote the best song to come out of NI, when i'm famous he's in for a lotta dosh pmsl.
Yours aye
Dick
