Hi Greebo - I didn't think you were old enough to know JT Edson!

I was on an aircraft carrier in teh Far East for much of 67/68 - someone was getting the latest JT Edson sent from the UK, and every lunchtime a couple of pages would be read out. I had been doing a dirty job in the hangar and took a shortcut through the living spaces to get to the showers. As the narrator got to the bit about "into the clearing rode Black Bart, feared desperado" a near naked oil covered figure ambled through the door.......

The nickname took many years to get rid of, then a couple of years ago I bumped into someone from my past who remembered it!

Anyway, it's been nice being able to get to the doughnuts while you've been away!


Thankyou Bob
