Left behind - one pair of black socks.

Anyone claiming them?

If they're sort of blackish/greyish and bobbly or black and thin with an N on they'll be mine. Bin them, I couldn't cope with the stress of watching another item of clothing flitting across the planet.

I had word from the front line today now you mention it

Umm and dont go through customs with it in your hand luggage as it will set alarms off after it went out on a couple of jobs with [CENSORED FOR OPERATIONAL REASONS] and took a load of [CENSORED FOR OPERATIONAL REASONS] Donkey [CENSORED FOR OPERATIONAL REASONS] which then obviously affected [CENSORED FOR OPERATIONAL REASONS] biscuit tin [CENSORED FOR OPERATIONAL REASONS] Sack cloth and restraints.

I dont think they skiffed it though

I used to feel guilty about buying all that crap at government auctions rebadging it and selling it back to squaddies at an inflated price :smt002
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
