Well guys the movers have been and taken all but the fridge and a matress which will be collected tomorrow with my garage full of tools ;D
Tomorrow and thursday I close out the last few things with work and then drive though Germany, Holland, brussels and france to dunkirque where we jump on the ferry and kip the night in Dover somewhere. Saturday we drive upto Aldershot and move into our new quarter.
I'm driving the miggy with the boat strapped to the roof and the wife is driving the Jag. Needless to say a full complement of fluids, tools and typical spares are accompanying me as the car was layed up for several months until last week.
So if you see a silver miggy with a blue dinghy on the roof, honk away!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cheeky get! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Well we got another spouse visa which I found out the army will pay for as she needs one for my posting back to the UK so good news there. In getting this one I found out the original advice we were given over the phone by UKBA was pish and we could have gotten ILR back last year. I was right whilst accompanying me while I serve abroad she is still considered living in UK, we both are hence paying UK tax and NI. So I feel a letter of complaint coming on ::) ::)

As soon as I finish the seats above the water tight battery compartments (electric motor :y) and finish the sails off I'll be up there in a jiffy. Are there any launching fees on bala?

I am upset to leave germany actually, I never thought I would like this place so much. We could learn a lot from them as they have so much just so right. That said I am moving from a junior captain's job to a more senior one and I need a fresh start (some things are better said in person around a bottle of wine than on here :y) and the job is a goodun as I will be in charge of the comms for an entire medical regiment :y
I still have a few more years until I get my first look at major so I ave to keep plugging away :y

It sounds like you got plenty space for beer. Just turn the boat right way up, and fill her up. Remember the bung in a boat has 2 uses, one to stop the water getting in, and two to stop the beer running out :y
Plus on the long journey back, just run a pipe from the boat down to the drivers seat :y :y Only trouble is if you get stopped by the police and they ask you how much you had to drink, and you say " about 3cm", they ain't goin to believe you ;D ;D ;D

Welcome back to Blighty -- you'll see what a mess we are in when you get here !!!!! And don't think you will feel at home listening to your mother tongue spoken in the streets -- every one speaks Polish these days :D :D :D

Thanks for all the support, I doubt I am going to like it too much, I am a staunch patriot but there is something that labour has done that just makes me hate living in the UK. 12 more years and I retire to Hawaii :y
