Oh by the way I am the proud owner of a dremel and all manner of attachments. :thumbup: shaun

I would imagine that the contents of the mess tin would at times ALSO add rigidity Mr Jarndice :/

I do hope you are not inviting me to sing "BOILED BEEF AND CARROTS or SPAM SPAM SPAM etc" The upside of British Composite (COMPO) rations was that you had no need of the porcelain facilities, the down side of compo was that you had no need of the porcelain facilities!!!I have too many memories of running towards a Wessex helicopter with 1/2 dozen blokes trying to get the h*ll out of it whilst bearing two weeks faecal waste in my lower gut, ever since those most discomforting times I have never felt anything but sympathy for Women in the later stages of their pregnancy, Which reminds me how is your youngest Hermann? :thumbup: shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

MRE's for me, and wild caught Venison. Runs a man out of toilet paper real quick !!
As for the youngest, she is currently navigating the area with a rolling motion as she is just to stubborn to crawl !!
Manifests signs of impatience and grim determination..................... ;)
