I remember a very frank interview with Noddy on Midlands TV.
He was discussing his upbringing in the Black Country in classic Brummie tones, when the interviewer chipped in with
"..and where do you live now, Noddy?"
He switched to perfect RP and proudly announced "Ches-shire!"

..in a bloody great mansion, paid for by one song

One of the two best Christmas songs ever.

To oink is porcine.
To howl is lupine.
To bark is canine.
To purr is feline.
This list is asinine!

I got an email telling me how to read maps backwards, but it was spam.

I already fell victim to it on Radio 2 in the car this morning,

Spot the fighter pilot on holiday...

Sent to me by a friend who spent many years working in logistics in the British Army...

Just as well he didn't mention that the VC10 is f-ed in Hawaii and the Tristar is f-ed in Miami, as even the Army might get a tad suspicious.

We once went tits up with the VC10 in W. Africa (Banjul?) on the way to Ascension with a load of fresh food on board for them. They sent out a C130 with spares and engineers and to take over the task. We were there for three days lying by the pool with cold beers as the C130 took three runs to take our load. Every time they came back in the late afternoon the air was blue. I did buy the captain a few beers. We both left on the same day for the UK. Just after we got airborne the C130 captain came onto the radio and said that we should have paid airfield fees before leaving there was no agreement with the UK in place. I was not informed of this. He said that they wouldn't let him take off unless he paid for us as well as him.

After the unpleasantness in the Falkland Islands our troops were told to stop referring to islanders as "Bennies" so our troops began calling them "Stills".
The islanders referred our troops as "When I's". But the local island radio service was persuaded to read an announcement about the startup company "Southern Hemisphere Island Taxi Service".

That's absolutely freezing

That those degrees Kevin??
