Mick Gibson ... ex-REME M&D circa. 1980's?

Meanwhile, here’s one for all you beached ex-Saudi biomeds, especially those who (like me) still get a little “home-sick” from time to time.

Good Morning Geoffery,
Tony Grimmett is currently beached at Sunny Bournemouth, waiting for the Outsourcing Boat to depart from Nuffield Hospitals EBME and land at [ in the next year or so ?? ] semi-retired / partime or watching all of the peaches walking on the beaches + fishing...........inshallal
So where and when is the reunion as previously posted for all of us civvies who bumped into you ex-miltary guys??
Please give my regards to`Big` Tony Dowman and Pete `Qatar` Shepherd, as I owe Pete a drink or 2.
and where is Terry Horton ??
regards

Well Matey, I would if you told us who you were (TG)! Still not worked out how to use the spell-checker button, then? My good buddy Big Tony is on-line as we “speak”. Terry was at 3M (in Nottingham?) the last I heard (about 15 years ago). The “Good Shephard” was shacked up out in Laos, the last I heard. But unlike you, it seems, I don’t owe anybody anything (quite the reverse, in fact)!

Good Evining Geoffrey,
Spel Chek is tooo much to conpremend as I hav spint the IT traening bujdet on numarous hospetal redownduncys laeving bashes.

Picking up your Army pension yet ??? Still Hashing ??

I was thinking of returning on a weeks holiday to Jeddah, Medical City.....as per your link ref Beached Biomeds...then I took off my rose tinted specs.. llamedos
regards...Tony Grimmett.....the real GRIMM REAPER

Hi there TG. Are you still Land Rover " Bashin " ??

Is Sean the Leprechaun still around. ??

Hope You and Yours are all OK. Take Care Mate. Big T.

Funny, that, Grimmster. I used to know a guy called Tony Grimmett who I once rated as one of the best biomeds I ever worked with! He used to be into Land-Rovers, as I recall. But time marches on, I suppose.

You’re a bit out of date, Matey. The Medical City of the Middle East is now Riyadh, surely? The “Medical City” you’re (probably) referring to was much the same the last time I called in, but its sister at Kash’m Al’an has been developed over the years (to an extent that they’re now getting short of space … but there’s always more bits of desert around, I guess).

So, you’ve made the big time, then? Pension? (no, not for a few years yet). Hashing? (last one I did was in Oman, many years ago, but I still stagger about as much as possible). All the information you’ll ever need is available here. Just follow the links.

But, for the benefit of others on this forum, any news of the rest of the Gang? What ever happened, I wonder, to the Glasgow Clones? But don’t forget, Mate, that “ye shall sow as ye reap” (…or something like that)! PS - picked up your PS3 yet?

Yeah! But please make you presence felt under this thread!

Tony is (of course) a regular on the forum ... as indeed (now) is Terry.

And, for those who may be interested, I met up with the "Good Shepherd" a few months ago. In Barnsley, of all places. Note that the photo shown below was not taken on that occasion, but elsewhere and (shall we say), more than a few years ago!

But here are a few more names for you, Neil:- Robin Brown (still active in the UK, as far as I am aware). Neil Moore (ditto). Huw Palmer ... I never came across Huw again since Yanbu in 1993 (but still recall the mysterious case of the broken finger)!

That Office looks rather familiar Geoff !! Was it by any chance " Sat " upon a Car Park !! ha ha
