memory lane again

i thougt all american bases had gone upper heyford near banbury where i used to live went years ago 

One evening we were on our way home come to a T-junction and the traffic lights were on RED, waited a couple of minutes then we seen double-decker buses driving through the junction one after another, we counted about 25 or more before the lights changed and there was more behind them. It used to be an RAF Base, now it is NATO. We always know when something big is going on, because they usually have 1 or 2 Dual Rotator Wessex Helicopters come in to land on the base. The Wessex helicopters come from Fairford, bringing VIP's in by air, usually people like the PM or President, when theres meetings over here.

Then about 3 miles away we have another Airport for private planes and training pilots. If you're in to that sort of thing you see quite a lot going on, then it's normally on the news. We seen one Wessex Helicopter lift a old Jet from the NATO base, to the AIrport back last year I think it was. The same airport was used when we had the 2007 floods, bringing in water by tankfulls.

I guess it is all because eveything near us is within just a few miles, NATO base, probably a 5 minute walk, the Airport then you got the GCHQ base in Cheltenham, for Europe - that place is huge! It used to be that big that they had two huge parts either side of Cheltenham, now it looks like a huge flying saucer, the building is round and probably about 5-6 floors above ground - some people say it goes down in the ground by 3 miles, not sure if that is true though. They used to have nuclear shelters below the ground years ago.

Mmmm I do live a sheltered life, deep in a fools paradise.

You've still got a milk man Les, that's insane, you must be imagining it. I'd get on to your mental health team if I was you. Ducks. 

We're all fools George and that's what leads us to paradise. 

Like St Paul

Do you mean the rapper St Paul? Sorry there isn't one. 

>> Les throws a 1 litre of full cream in a carton at Georgia, wheels away as quick as "Speedy Gonzales"<  looks back and see's georgia does have white hair!! hehehe looks="" back="" and="" see's="" georgia="" does="" have="" white="" hair!!="">>

Lends a touch of gravitas to our Georgia, wouldn't you say?

Who said I need gravitas, you're so presumptios! Sheesh I'll give you both some gravitas. 

I imagined that when you threw the carton of cream at me that I accidently tipped you out of your wheelchair and didn't call a nurse! And also gave you jelly for dinner. Beat that! 

Obviously not enough cream. Hay, Les! Got any more cream?
