Do you sleep with one eye open on said ham radio?
Well no, but I do listen to Three Counties on an old SqueezeBox Boom while I'm reading in bed before I turn the light out, if that counts smile

Everyone makes mitsakes, don't be too hard on yourself. We're a team here don't forget and that's what separates us from mere civvies. They just don't understand the bond, the camaraderie, the brotherhood

I followed this, this morning. My son took the photo as he was as bemused as me.

"Working dogs in transit" not only in Engliish, but French too!

I often carry "working humans" in my car, does that call for some stickers?

The observant among you will notice the amber beacon inside the car :-o.

Mounted above the rear seat it totally obscured the internal rear view mirro!

Pity the driver wasn't more observant otherwise he would have noticed that his brake lights weren't working.......

Inspiring words!

I haven't read anything that moving since the famous 'Sleeping with one eye on the phone' speech. I believe that is now a standard text at school for all children to study. Some say it is pure poetry, others that it eclipses the Churchill 'Fight them on the beaches' speech. I know that many people around the world have begun have sober and friendless Christmases in honour of the North West 4x4 Cowboy....

In any case I can only say that; I, Jingle Dingle Winkle 100, will remember your kind words.

Blinking back the tears and ending transmission.....out.

I'm welling up, like a builder at the end of DIY S.O.S just thinking about that speech :'( Do you think we could get it set to music like they did with that sunscreen speech. We could use Ross Kemp for the voice....inspirational truly fking inspirational they could play it over the tannoy at the Monster Truck shows to get the St Johns Ambulance boys motivated!

Why does it have 'in transit' when it's quite clearly a Peugeot?

I always give a long beep of the horn when I pass cars with those stickers to show I've acknowledged their warning stickers.

The dogs love it as they start jumping around the back and the driver always waves with one or two fingers as is the way in dog circles. Sometimes they gesture for me to pull over and have coffee but I never have the time. At least that's what I think they mean...

Right, been saving this one and need to out myself.

I'm actually a deputized member of the Gray County Militia in Pampa Texas.

I've so far avoided going on maneuvers with them but apparently, if called upon, I need to get all camo'd up, ride around in a huge 4x4, wave lots of guns around and hunt down, er, probably "Turrorists", Mexicans, Hillary supporters or zombies whilst chewing baccy, which as we all know, makes you a sexual tyrannosaurus.

Got a badge & card & everything biggrin I'll post a picture of it when I get back next week.

I know this is the lounge where a bit of piss taking is to be expected but to accuse someone of being 5ohmustang is a bit beyond the pale.

You'll have to sleep with one eye open and have your 4x4 on standby for a rapid exfil just in case now!

I smell a rat, because what you should be saying is:
I'm currently held at RS24+ but apparently, if called upon, I need to go tactical, deploy by AFV adopting a hostile stance and engage in Seek & Destroy ops against, er, multiple threats whilst chewing baccy which, as we all know, makes you A1G1Z1 should any passing Splitters fancy a bit of Zulu Alpha.

And who do you think then has to stay awake once the 4x4 rapid response team are deployed, we count them out and we count them back in... The frontline guys get the glory but it's the back room team on the radios, checking gps positions, updating Twitter feeds and coordinating the RRVs (Rapid Response Vehicles) that are the real heroes, we just prefer to remain anonymous. I don't even have a 4x4 so I can't be deployed to the frontline, that's real commitment.... I

Here was me hastily making my way to an emergency in days gone by - a dog had been reported as being off a leash on a local footpath when the local bylaw clearly states the requirements in the relevant passages of Section 2A, note 123.665 subsection Walter.



Unfortunately an old war wound has meant I've had to give up driving on the front line, so these days I have to offer so called 'Back-Seat' support from base (the spare bedroom). But it's still a valuable, (if at times thankless), role.

Roger, Out.

You sound like a goddam oath-breaker to me!

You make me sick with your liberal attitudes.

I'm a firm believer that people expecting 4x4 rescue/extraction should only he assisted if they have the proper insurance.

That known Muslim and Kenyan born traitor Obama wants to give free 4x4 rescues to every illegal immigrant in my beautiful adopted country - he's an oath breaker!

We need to arm ourselves (more than we already are, if that's actually feasible) and take on those that want free Assustance with freeing their cars from mud at a major event! That's real freedom right there, not giving free assistance to those in need....

Am I doing this right?

Out on my mountain bike in local woodland yesterday, and I found their training camp...

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3354791,-0.89234...

...Fort Walter* - and those open areas were chockers with older hatchbacks and six-man tents. The atmosphere was dripping with the scent of unwashed bodies, and I swear I could hear the sound of "Dueling Banjos" drifting out of their 'headquarters' (which looked like equal parts shanty town and extreme fly-tipping). I didn't stay too long, as the sign said...
