Ied: Improvised Explosive Device. Out here they don't use normal land mines but they just strap a load of explosives to a triggering device. Fortunately for us they don't have the capability to do much damage to our vehicles.

Cracking update Glyn. Nice to see you in DPM.... need a pic of you draped over the bonnet of a WMIK (preferably wearing a leather hat and some riggers) to complete the set. Whistle

Look forward to catching up on a lane somewhere on your safe return Thumbs Up

Glynn, not sure if I missed it but where are you based? I'm just finishing up my 11th months in Kandahar, no Landy for me though NATOs budget only extends to a Ford Ranger.. Piece of Dog Looking forward to getting back to take my baby for a spin, guess I should also say see the girlfriend.. Rolling Eyes

K9, No Burger king, Pizza Hut or Subway anymore mate Septics General saw to that. Even Timmies has moved. All change these last couple of months. Though we do now have a KFC.. Thumbs Up

Timmy's donuts are lush!!! Am currently concentrating in my transition to civilian life....two job interviews next month...

With BK, Pizza Hut and Subway gone I may have had a fighting chance of doing a tour and losing some weight instead of piling it on! Wouldn't rush to the bookies and lay any bets on it though! Laughing

Glyn's been quiet of late, not posted for a few weeks, even sent him a 'pm' last week. Anyone heard from him? Know he's tour ends next month! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

K9, dont you worry Timmies nuts are still available they've just moved over to the Canadian compound. Though I pity anyone who drank their Coffee in the first couple of weeks as they Censored their water connection and connected to the nonpotable water line. Yum..

So who were you out here with?

Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Could have done a new line in DIY Chocolate Toppings! Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter



Me I'm Crabfat, Blue Job, Brylcream Boy,

For the last 14 years when I've been away I've been travelling in style...been here there and everywhere either with VC10s or for the last 7 years on the C130s.

Of late I've been on the 'Classic Marque' on 'Bargain Bucket Airways!' Rolling with laughter If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
