What can I say, about friends and family. My parents have passed away,my eldest sister passed away in 1990 and I do miss them so. But my other sister lives in the village about 10 minutes walk away and my two brothers both live in Wakefield.. I have numerous friends who I have met throughout my life, my army mates still mean a lot to me, my other friends I have met through work and on the net, god bless you all

Well let me think, my age is 55, D.O.B 6th September 1952, was born in BMH Rinteln while my parents were stationed in BAOR. My parents being strict believers in families sticking together, my brothers, sisters and I had a wonderful time travelling the world with them, we got to see some exotic places and live there too, what an education that was, we lived in Jamaica for two and a half years and we were there when they were granted their independence, what a colourful sight that was. We moved from there back to the UK for a couple of months before going back to Germany. My father left the army in 1968 and we settled down in Barnsley. I enlisted into the Royal Pioneer Corps in March of 1974 and also met and married my ex-wife that year, but one cant have roses all the way. I got divorced in 1980 after 6 years of married life, I obtained my freedom whilst serving in Cyprus, so now I am single, and foot loose and fancy free.
My hobbies include photography, am now into digital photoghraphy now trying to improve my skills, enjoy a good book murder mysteries, and the CSI programs, chatting to friends on the internet and making some good friends on there |
