    See my mind has a lot of grey areas since my accident LOL, I can't remember the 10mans, I remember bits n pieces of what could be called food, thrown at me from a few feet away. I think I was also always half asleep when it happened. Used to stay awake for 3-4 days on the trot, jumping from point to point, before settling somewhere for a full night.

    We were always chauffeur driven about lol, normally the daffy but sometimes the 4 tonner, rode in the back of a 432 a couple times and a scimitar once, but that was part of an emergency drill, something to do with being flexible or something haha
