I remember playing footy against some gunners shower in Larkhill. Would have been about 1979-80 I suppose. We won 2-1 and yours truly scored the first goal.

aye. In 79-80 I woke up to this every morning - the Stacs off St Kilda
there wasnt anywhere flat enough to kick a ball, apart from the helipad

Jesus how long ago where you and EO in the army????

In fact, you are wrong.

When I was a soldier, I spent a couple of years at a Royal Artillery base at Larkhill. There was one room at the end of block 3 that overlooked Stonehenge (a half mile away). In those days it was free and unfenced

guess who had that room

That is actually worth thinking about for a moment. Its not just happy days - its brilliant

There must be people in the world, who wake up, look out of their bedroom window, and the first thing they see ?

Eiffle tower
Stonehenge
Taj Mahal
Colusseum
Giant redwood trees
Ayers Rock
Goodison Park


most people yearn to visit, but its there when you wake up

brilliant

The place I had in Paris had a view of Sacre Coeur.



just not in your face. I had to lean sideways out of the bedroom window to see it. 'twas a fine sight on a sunny morning.

Then there was the chap who dined in the Eiffel tower every day. He thought it was a monstrosity and the restaurant was one place he couldn't see it from.

You and Wilmslow ?

Ayers rock and Stonehenge dont have any houses overlooking them. It's a trick question

To wake up to all those places must mean that have some fancy screen saver on their computer?!

He's just a big bully. He pulls the legs off kittens at the weekend as well.

Nasty (shakes head)

My dog pulled the head off a puppy this weekend, now that was yucky. You wouldn't even expect a dog to try and eat another dogs babies

My sister used to be able to see Ailsa Craig from her bedroom window. In fact the street we lived in was called "Ailsa Place".
Happy Days.

Yeah, but they were threatening to set the place up as an internet centre and generally gobbing off about it.

So much publicity was bound to attract attention.

Well they got the basics, UK court decision saying they were outside UK jurisdiction. I was more thinking of the armed invasion by German mercenaries

Not exactly what you'd call straight forward.
