Coronavirus and the 2020 toilet paper crisis

That's to stop loafing retirees cluttering the place up rather than going home to do their chores.

Ayup, have I struck a nerve?

[dannyboy]

No but the Dentist nearly did!  .  (And I have to go back in two weeks  :'().

[guest311]

last time I was at the dentist, I think I upset the receptionist ...

she said he was running late, so I replied that I was busy, so I'd leave my teeth for him and collect them later...

long story involving a fight in the naafi years ago, being second snowdrop in, and first on the ground getting a kicking

I think you're possibly in the category of 'slow learner'.

To re-cap:

'I went to the dentist'

'On the way home I went shopping for chocolate'

'I've got to go back in two weeks'

Let me know if you need any other pointers.

What's a snowdrop?

ROYAL AIR FORCE POLICE ie RAFP

so known from the white cap cover worn when on duty ...

stand around looking smart and book people for not having shiny boots .....

mainly on main gates or in guardrooms ..

usually operate in pairs, one can read, one can write ....

not to be confused with fur box mechanics...

ROYAL AIR FORCE POLICE [QUALIFIED POLICE DOG HANDLER] ie RAFP[QPD]

operate alone, evenings and nights, airfields and bomb / Special Storage sites, accompanied by a hairy beast, usually referred to as 'brain on a chain', trained to both read and write

do the real work, no white kit, got to merge into the dark.

Just to clarify one final point, it may just have been the way it was written, it implies the 'brain on a chain' has the literacy skills. ?

well, RAFP police dogs are highly trained

My dad always said that the dogs were only slightly less savage than a psychotic axe murderer.

when I was at Waddington in 70 / 71, the only ones who needed  to worry were mice, Rex spent 100% of his time searching for them 

CND protesters .... nahh

intruders .... nahhh

rabbits .... mmmmm

mice ... having some of that 

if the soviets ever trained mice to attack our nuclear deterrent, we would have been on it   

[Fenrisian]

Was Rex cat?

[guest311]

no ...
long haired German Shepherd RAFP dog

just liked digging for mice in the earth banks around the 'Ds' in the SSA.
