Rather difficult to fire a 550mm torpedo from the shoulder or hip but a few of us sub boys did shoot a 20mm sniping rifle from lower north gun battery in early 86

I can't beat you Jimmy the Thug, but I can equal you. Served Emily Hobhouse, 1975 to 1980, torpedo rating. Brian Isham.

Brian, Jimmy has a habit of hauling me off to some far town for him to meet up with some sardine mate of his from when he was playing down under.
Perhaps there is a road trip in the making.

Come on up. Winter weather is great here and we have a (previously military) range a few km's from my house in the bush.

I collected a Russian submariner watch that your dad gave me a year or two ago

Old age and brain degredation is getting the better of you Jimmy, my old man died about 20 odd years ago. You got the watch from me (and if I remember correctly, collected it from my son as I had moved to Mpumalanga). 😂😂

I thought about that after I posted. You qualified about 10 years before me and the lightbulb did go on but before I could correct it the site was in admin mode.
But snorting did suck out the good brain cells

Its the wine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, the wine did his memory, got box's of wine stored at my place from The Thugs mates in C/T. My mates, think I am a wine collector thanks to the Thug.
Mind ya, if the Thug should disappear for some reason someday, selling his stock here at my place should be a worthy exercise.
