If I Were a Marryin' Maid....
Gunners lend dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl:
In the words of an old Gunner chanty- If I were a marryin' maid, and thank the Lord I'm not, Sir! The only man that I would wed would be the Number One, Sir! And he'd shout, "Fire!" and I'd shout, "Fire!; we'd both shout, "Fire!" together... it'd be all right in the middle of the night shoutin', "Fire!" together! The rest of the detachment get their share: Number Two- he' pull the cord and I'd pull the cord... Number Three- he'd lay it on and I'd lay it on... Number Four- he'd ram it home and I'd ram it home... Number Five- he'd plant pole and I'd plant pole... (the aiming posts!  )Number Six- he'd pull the wire and I'd pull the wire... (the tannoy; geez, get your minds out of the gutter!  )Number Seven- he'd trim the fuse and I'd trim the fuse... The GPO- he'd get us lost and I'd get us lost... The F-O-O- he'd lay barrage and I'd lay barrage... The old BC- he'd buy the beer and I'd buy the beer...  Anyway. I figured out the problem- due to the firewall on our system I have to cut and paste the URLs- the active part just don't work!  Mike
