Was just saying, Ted, because I noticed from your profile that you were in the MN. I was in the RN and, like you, in the communications branch, but in Electronic Warfare.
My father and two uncles were all in the RN.

They married three sisters, in Plymouth, before WW2, and one of the sisters was my mother!

Sorry, off topic!

Three brides for three brothers! Wow! That's brilliant! (They were brothers I assume.)

There's a movie there somewhere, Ted!

Sorry, no, the uncles were not related, to each other, apart from being in the RN.

They only became uncles, of any produced, after marrying the 3 sisters.

Re: Have You Ever Had A Worm Put Down Your Back?

Ever had a worm down my back? Oh, yes several in fact, and a handful of maggots during a lake-side barny with a so-called friend when I was about 10 years old. Mind you, he came off worse, I pushed him into the lake and he had to go home all sopping wet.

Re: Have You Ever Had A Worm Put Down Your Back?

I once got smothered in red ants, I must have been about three, saw this terracotta frog on my Grandmothers neighbours path edge & picked it up, not knowing it was hollow & full of a red ants nest. I screamed & Gran, Mum & Mrs Passey stripped me down naked & dumped me in a bath, after brushing off as many ants as they could. I had been bitten all over my body. I have never gone near red ants nests since.

Thankfully yes, it got the back of my shoulder. That'll teach me to place the garden chair directly under the guttering along the edge of our roof. Favourite pigeon perch

Re: Have You Ever Had A Worm Put Down Your Back?

Worm? Nah. But a hairy caterpillar fell of a tree down the back of my shirt. Bloomin' thing was toxic and gave me quite a problem for over a week (not in the UK)
