No4 Sniper rifle/Armourer's Bipod

[Peter Laidler]

Off at a tangent again - so look away now........
At our tented kitchen at Canungra there were pies laid out and I asked the cook '.....what's in those pies Jock*.....' Without smiling and retaining his deadpan nasho fed-up look, he looked at the menu chalked on a dusty old blackboard, looked over at me, pointed to it with his ladle and replied '......meat........ what d'ya think with a meat pie.....'. Well, ask a silly question! Mind you, being a Jock from Jockland, his language was a bit more colourful than that
