Don't know about your recordings but little Guy sounds horrendously dubbed.

Rhubarb01 · 17/01/2019 21:05

Look at little Guy's kit bag!

Rhubarb01 · 17/01/2019 21:05

Now there's a sight to put you off your cornflakes in the morning!

Do you reckon his first name is really Richard/Dickie or is it just a nickname because his surname is Bird?

Major Bird is a real creep.

I do like steamed puds mind you. I like making them too.

Gosh Two Section would be pushed to find anyone to compete against.

Oh here we are in the sexist Officers' Mess. Mrs Cadman looks well annoyed.

Lucky old Guy having his Dad take him for a round of golf - no soft play in the Cadman house.

Nick Pascoe does have a rather lovely voice.

Cringey - Nick and Juliet.

Rhubarb01 · 17/01/2019 21:12

I will admit the voice is nice though, ilove. He always looks as if he's trying not to smile whenever he speaks.

When they say Bird is going to work in Insurance it sounds so much like a few Insurance Salesman of that era that I remember.

Nice line in Rugby shirt tops on display.

Rhubarb01 · 17/01/2019 21:14

That kid is as good at swingball as I am.

Hand knitted cable stitch/Aran pullovers seem very in vogue. There are loads of them in these episodes.

Also guy appears to be wearing one of his dad's cast -off jumpers. I suppose he'll grow into it in about 15 years.

Sorry, I was so busy watching I forgot to comment.

Rhubarb01 · 17/01/2019 21:16

I wonder how Tom gets away with punching Dickie on the parade ground?

eejittwo · 17/01/2019 21:17

Major Carman now suspicious?

That picture above the Cadmans' bed is one I used to have years and years ago too.

Surprised the women aren't in a standard PE kit for their run.

Now Paddy's gone and done it - stealing the rival mascot

Rhubarb01 · 17/01/2019 21:20

This is where I get confused. I have no idea what they are supposed to be doing on this exercise.

Rhubarb01 · 17/01/2019 21:20

Guy is wearing yet another XL size outfit of the 1990's shell suit variety.
