Re: Troodos story
XX. Music hath charms… One of the problems I had was that my taste in music was far different from that of most of my fellow signalmen. There is one piece, which I remember, was very very much appreciated in the barrack room, "23 Degrees North - 82 Degrees West ", played by Stan Kenton. Fo...

Re: Troodos story
XIX. A long trip One day, we planned a trip to see a little bit of the country, which none of us had been able to up to then. It turned out that there were three of us, only one of whom had a driving licence for Cyprus. We hired a Morris Mini for the job. We set off at about 7:30 and our first stop ...

Re: Troodos story
XVIII. Cloak and dagger One day, I was summoned to the CO, wondering what mischief I had been doing. He explained that I had been named because I was a "ham", with the callsign GM3GUC in Scotland and ZC4BN in Cyprus. That afternoon, a limousine came to pick me up and drive me to a block of...

Re: Troodos story
yes, I have always admired Ustinov and wished I was as clever as he was. I think he was one of the greatest brains of the 20th century.

Re: Troodos story
XVII. In camp This section will be largely a few small anecdotes. In the cooler seasons, we had hot water available on Friday afternoons for the obligatory shower. The guy who dealt with this was a Turkish Cypriot. One Friday, I was having a shower by myself when he came in and saw me in the buff. H...

XVI. Odds and sods This time, please allow me to recount, in no particular order a number of small things. One of the first pleasures was to fill the gap between breakfast at 7 o'clock and lunch at 1 o'clock. As there was no NAAFI, we didn't have a canteen to buy a Cadbury's milk chocolate. This gap...

XV. I'm an idiot Yes, I'm an idjit, because chapter XIV should not be there, at all! The facts described within it are true and correct. But… But, remember the first sentence of it: "Believe it or not, my memory has failed"! That is another story to be recounted. Mea culpa five times over....

Re: Troodos story
Thanks to all of you who have bothered to make comments on what was originally intended to be a single paragraph and has now been divided into 14 sections, with two more still to run in the next few days. I suppose it could be considered as a form of blog but my knowledge of 21st-century English doe...

Having it switched off doesn't necessarily mean that users are in the wrong, even if some of them may be misguided!
