Airman Brown

I had a pee next to @Airman Brown in the bogs after the game at Wigan and a chat a couple of seasons ago about Thuram who let two in late on to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It's ok Rick your secret is safe with me and hopefully mine is with you . Well done with everything lately and thanks for all your efforts.

I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away " ;
But it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, wait outside ";
But it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? "
But it's " Thin red line of 'eroes " when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's " Thin red line of 'eroes, " when the drums begin to roll.

WTF?

Perhaps the invite for him to join the Target 20K group was belated realisation that Rick's one of those people you'd much rather have inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in. Fat lot of good it's going to do them though.

Doesn't matter a great deal when everybody is being pissed on by the regime.

Great work Rick, they don't like it up em.

Where's AB gone since the protests? I think he must've been smuggled off by the circus in the back of a big black van and is on the way to Roland's torture chamber in Belgium.

Planning the next campaign.

Anyone seen PL54 ?

Was wondering where he was also. Last comment of his I remember seeing was 'get yourselves organised'...

Ben,

Like it.

First 3 verses are definitely "cometh the hour, cometh the Airman".

But most of the fifth verse feels very apposite to Katrien as well??

"You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace. "
