He can't remember his service number - rubbish! It's indelibly etched on your brain for eternity - the amount of times you had to blurt it out spluttering in the gas chamber!

Since when was this a point of note? Are you some kind of pizza walt?

Cooking is not a personality trait laugh
Supermarket pizzas are spectacularly bland. Cardboard topped with something pretending to be cheese.

It takes minimal effort to get some kind of base (I use flatbread but pittas or standard pizza bases are also good) put some tomato sauce on it, cheese, your selection of toppings (chorizo and chilli for me), so on and so forth, to produce a pizza that is full of flavour.

Bland food reflects a bland personality.

You mean you don't harvest the tomatoes yourself from your kitchen garden and have the flour ground freshly from wheat grown on your estate?

Agreed. If you can't remember your service number then you didn't serve. It's like saying you can't remember your birthday.

Exactly! I can still remember mine clear as day C039175C.

I remember with the gas chambers you learn to say it as quickly as possible. Still doesn't reduce the burning though.

Ah, now I know when my birthday is, it's just that I can't always remember how many of them I've had. biggrin

It's more akin to being unable to remember your own name I reckon. FFS even my wife knows my army number off by heart. She wrote it on a little blue envelope enough times... hehe

Not walting IMO, clearly a US car and no attempt to apply hi-viz, UK style markings etc.

Often see those parked at comic-con and hired out at events, nice earner

They are hunting the brazilian virus spreader.
This would be an ideal task for any recently retired or furloughed walt. With a bit of thought they could search from town to town knocking politely on doors asking people if they have just come back from a brazilian
imagine if a bunch of walts got together and successfully found out who this virus carrying person was
They would be due our thanks and a medal
