McDreamy....the only time I went, I was also seeing a handsome submariner! He was the flyhalf in the navy team that beat the army. I think it was 1995? The man seriously had the body of a god...shame that he was actually very dull Ah well, it was fun whilst it lasted.

McDreamy · 10/03/2008 12:22

that's pretty much why we didn't last - oh and that he forgot to tell me he was f married

Lol!!!

Notyummy · 10/03/2008 12:27

Git! My one wasn't married...just dull. Staring at someones chest and abs only gets you so far in a relationship...eventually you have to have a conversation.

McDreamy · 10/03/2008 12:28

So just the army to tick the LL and you can call yourself TriService

SammyC · 10/03/2008 12:29

Yes but he was incredibly handsome I dumped him as soon as I found out, was hard seeing him around the mess though little shit!! Met DH later that year

VanillaPumpkin · 10/03/2008 12:30

I have only been once and I was girlfriend of RAF rugby player (current dh) and friend of Navy Officer and Navy ...er....Matlow??? Apologies. My Naval knowledge is not what it should be .....
We got hammered!!!! Then went back to student friends house. Someone started smoking gear though and so all the lads had to hang out in the garden . Was great fun though. What an atmosphere. Enjoy!

OOh sorry about that not sure what happened there....did I tell you he was incredibly handsome?

VanillaPumpkin · 10/03/2008 12:32

!!

McDreamy · 10/03/2008 12:32

Namechange please then LL - TriServiceRabbit?

Notyummy · 10/03/2008 12:34

Def a uniform thing going on there LL! I have been married to both the Navy and RAF, but never had any dalliances with the Army. Flirted outrageously with a Queens Royal Lancer once, but never actually did the deed!
