Cor stone the crows... Everybody in the team is called Brian!

You've heard of it a million times,

but until now, you've never seen it.

The most famous snackbar in the World!
It's in Alloa.

My friend told me that when he got married both he and his wife decided that they would never to go to bed angry at each other. They've both been awake since last Wednesday.

I was tempted to add this to the book thread but...

I just finished reading a book about Stockholm Syndrome. I didn't really like it at first but by the end it had really won me over.

Now I'm reading a book about an immortal dog. It's impossible to put down.

I recently picked up some books from the remainder bin.
The Politically Correct Book of Acceptable Humour was excellent. I got three copies as they were cheaper than the normal blank exercise books.

Irony is the opposite of wrinkly.

The five most important men in a woman's life:
Doctor - says "Remove your clothes"
Dentist - says "Open wide!"
Coalman - says "Do you want it in the front or the back?"
Painter & decorator - says "Now it's up how do you like it?"
Bank manager - says "If you take it out now you'll lose interest"

What was it called 'Taceval"?

Nooo, it was published by the Royal Marines. Harry would not have understood it.

PN - Was this the book you were thinking of?

I found an old copy, printed by a chum at Maritime Books years ago. It's a notebook really as it's blank inside.

Yup, that's the one

What's an Airforce?

airforce not Airforce. As PN wrote - it was compiled by the Royal Marines - not difficult with blank pages. Published by Maritime Books in Liskeard. The art work was done by the inimitable 'Tugg' Wilson.

Excuse my ignorance, but could someone please tell me how come sailors named Wilson are always nicknamed Tugg. The origins of most nicknames, if not obvious, can usually be guessed, but I've drawn a blank on this one.

Apparently there was an Admiral Wilson in days of yore who repeatedly ordered a battleship to carry out procedures for entering harbour as it was having some difficulty with it. In exasperation after several attempts he finally offered her Captain a tow - or tug(g) - into harbour.
