The other Goat on parade

Why is it, when I was Drum Major, the biggest bain of my life was getting Led either out of the pub or out of trouble or both to do a parade in a fairly sober manner, and when he's on the parade, he stays on the parade.

So can anyone explain to me why, on Saturday, when the parade marches past and we're outside the Wynnstay having a good time drinking beer, at the end of the Comrades marches Led doing the best drill I've ever seen him do and doing a fairly good impression of the Regimental Goat in a demob suit.

:cry:

Dai, You know what Led is like. The fact that he had to do the parades when he was in the Battalion went against his free spirit!! Because he had the choice on Saturday, he jumped in with both feet!! (And both arms!!)

What made me chuckle was the fact that Led(Mr Anti-Establishment), turned up on the Friday, wearing his "Magistrates Court" Attire only to be greeted by the boys in full anarchy gear!!!! well jeans and a nice shirt....... Priceless.

thanks all

having Walked down to the nags head to Watch my wife took my free spirit away by making me march , and as i got to the corner by the wynstasy i could have died it was like am warminster / ternhill muster parade of whos who , every one i ever gave **** to was waiting , and boy did they get revenge .
but i had to march due to a few simple facts

1 , I was the smartest there
2 , my drill is A1
3 , my hair was / is the longest
4 , all the girls in wrexham might have felt let down
5 , i Am better at marching than talkin
6 , i done more than 3 years LoL
7 , best lookin person there
8 , We got a free pint
9 , i am not gay
10 , i was the fattest .

but when you hear the drum beating you cant help but get those blubbery legs going , but am i glad the bbc never turned up .

cheers all
led

So the free spirit isn't really free ~ it's only free when Georgena lets him be!! Oh bless. See lads he's just the same as you all are!!
You looked great Led, regardless of why you marched.

Al, you answered your own question mucker. The fact that everyone normally wears 'falling down' kit on the Friday, Led went against the grain and turned up all official. Classic led. What a star!!
(ps ta for medals again-Im gonna have to spend a tenner to get mine court mounted!!)

By the way Led, number 10 on your list- 'I was fatest'...You either need to add a letter 't' or 's' before the first t mucker!!

I had the privelage of marching next to Led and I beg to differ I was the fattest there and I had no hair.
Both of us were saying were going to get S*** when we get to the top of the hill. But a couple of free pints and a couple more in the Fusilier we marched into the Wynnstay with heads held high and guts sticking out and took the abuse like good drunken soldiers do.
cheers lads for a great weekend

Hi all

I thought i seen a the boys crying as me and 47 kept the rear rank dressed off perfectly , its a shame the best lookin guys were at the back .
The Next army Recruiting video will have picture of me 47 and Dai beer with the slogan , "join The Army and in 20years time you will be fighting the birds off "

Hi Led
Heard your request on Planet Rock yesterday. Wernt you supposed to be Duty Bugler that day?

What used to be "Stomach in, chest out, neck in the back of the collar and look up!" appears to have changed to, "Stomach out, chest sunk, neck hanging over the back of the collar and look the other way and Dai might not notice I`m marching!":biggrin:
