    Email notification help!

    I'm really sorry, but I'm having a lot of difficulty with this feature, although I used to use and enjoy the old PM system (any chance of having that back?). Would it be possible for you to message me through the 'Conversation' system. Then I'll see if I can reply to you. ...

    School and college sports

    Yesterday's 10 mile hike over extremely muddy fields and through woods certainly evoked memories of the obligatory 'cross country' yomp at school.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Yesterday a colleague expressed surprise that I was not wearing a military sweater. I had to explain to him that the Guernsey is very much a military sweater, with a long and honourable association with the Royal Navy. I was surprised that he didn't know this.

    Email notification help!

    Similarly, I am not clear under the new system how to reply if somebody starts a conversation with me. This happened to me just before Christmas and I could not see a reply button. I feel that I have been rude. Could somebody explain how it now works? Otherwise all the changes to the site are...

    Experience of service in the Armed Forces

    One of the things that was enjoyable about the Corps was the combination of rules, structure and tradition on the one hand and dry and sometimes coarse humour on the other. This is an unusual and I think valuable combination.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I've taken a day off WPs to wear a Navy Guernsey. Glad the weather's more seasonal and can't wait for the even colder weather next week.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    One of the dilemmas when you have as many WPs as I do is not only which colour but which model to wear. For example, I have 4 different types of Navy: patchless, standard model with patches, patches and epps, patches, epps and pen pocket. I have opted for the latter today!

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    An elderly gentleman born 1911 (died 2005) with whom I often used to take tea used the words 'guffle' and 'flatulate'. He would talk openly and frequently about his emissions and as he was a very serious and even humourless person and otherwise very correct and proper, the effect was hilarious...

    I like it and might adopt it, with your permission.

    Best Manly Sweater

    Very nice. I had a Tibetan sweater like that about 20 years ago and loved it until it shrank and/or I expanded.

    Very nice WP and really suits you. What is the badge that you're wearing with it?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Like many people, I have been complaining about the unseasonably mild weather and the persistent south-west winds bringing it in. I hope for a change to cooler or colder weather in the New Year! However, you are further south than me so it is probably worse. I have been able to wear jumpers...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Yes, I like the RAF blue and wear mine quite frequently. The Dark Grey Mix is a good colour as well.
