the only time my boots looked that shiny was the day I was I was marched into Colly.
Steve funny you mentioned that, Pete Bailey every time I see him says " I remember when you escorted me to Colly." He's got a better memory than me mate because I can't recall it !
What did you get Colly for Steve ?
Fire away I have all night
I don't suppose was involved
just borrowing a telly from the naf Tone. We only took it as an after thought, we were actually tunnelling our way into the store, and hit metal, so we thought we would return the following night with the cutting equipment, and foolishly didn't want to leave empty handed. Just our luck a civvie cop was standing under a tree having a smoke at about 2 in the morning and thought it was a bit suspicious seeing some blokes carrying telly and contacted the gestapo. I learned a valuable lesson that night my friend. Always look both ways when yer nicking a telly.
I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.
steve never did colly but a good mate did and he and a few of us did the palace bks hilton tour that was fun
was like a health resort Billy, no booze for 56 days. Well, about 50 anyway. Just near the end, me and Chalkie got told to report to the officers mess to help out at a function. Couldn't believe our luck when they gave us white coats and made us drinks waiters, think we must have had a slurp out of every glass we took out. Probably two of the few people to wake up in Colly with an hangover

There can't be many blokes that can say they went on the lash in Colly. Thats a pretty exclusive club mate.
was a rare good night mate, we also took advantage to get some decent scoff. I remember some officer asking me something and I couldn't speak cause I'd wedged about half a dozen salmon vol-ay-vents into my gob on the way to the table. I just had to grunt and nod my head. It probably confirmed his opinion of airborne soldiers.

The day I was elevated to the lofty heights of Lance Corporaldom,I was informed I would still have to do the duty of waitering for the Sergeant's mess do I was already down for.That night myself and Adam Corneille,also freshly promoted,were told we would be in charge of the wine waiters.Big mistake,responsibility and drink not being something that sat easily together with me!By the end of the do I had to be carried back to the block,and my future as a JNCO hung in the balance for several days!
my best boots did time in Colly with Combat Harper and I got 14 days ROPS in NI for dozzing off on the ghost stag. Got told it would have been jail but they couldn't spare me!! yeh ****ing right they couldn't!! was lucky though as it was the Para Reg who did the honours at the time (74 )
Best boots were no problem taz, me and chalkie were in the same room as a Guardsmen, who was only to happy too bull our boots for us as long as we let him be friends.
