Thanks for the comments, I've a few more additions yet. Chris, if I remember rightly the floor at Keogh was parquet. I had the pleasure of bumpering that on occasion.

This is just getting better and better mate, love what you have done so far, hope you used Kiwi on them boots and not klear !!!


Later mate,

Steve

Yeah because Klear turns white if it rains IIRC......however, Morello was the weapon of choice when I was in BAOR. Can't beat the good ol' Kiwi & tap water though.
Carl, I did the First Aid Instructor's course at Keogh in Sept 1981 but I honestly can't remember what the Gd Room was like - I do remember the accommodation was dire though! But seriously, a great piece of work & striking in its originality too. Me likey

Cheers,
Chris

It's not changed then.

You were lucky.... I spent six months in a paper bag in a septic tank.

For the record, kiwi polish, water and clean rag and a lot of elbow grease were the only way to get a good shine on your boots. Everything else was just cheating.

Paper bag, you were lucky......... we used to dream of living in a paper bag.

Carl love the coffee stains and I can't wait to see Steve's phone, I bet it actually rings

Cheers Ken
