Friar

It has come to the Priory's attention that previously secret film has come into the public domain. I refer to the film somehow obtained by Bluebear (I suspect some dodgy deal was done round the back of “The Downed Pilot” whilst Brenda the Buxom Barmaid was not looking) which shows the O.L.E.P (Special Nun Service) in training, if you have not seen it I must advise you not to look here http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/9199-are-these-friars-nuns/ as this is now classified. As everyone is now aware, the O.L.E.P is a highly trained and honed group of Priory nuns who are assigned only the most dangerous and mission critical assignments. Their habits are Kevlar lined to protect them from any assailants weapons. They were recently called into action when the supply lines for the Priory Wine Cellars Spiritual offerings were threatened by some striking French farmers. (The word "striking" here should be taken to mean that the “good for nothing lazy scrag end of a smelly pig” farmers had withdrawn their labour, not that they are visually appealing, because that would be, well, a bit gay, not that I have anything against homosexuals, I just would not want my daughter to marry one. ) They were despatched to France to ensure our consignment got through the picket lines. There was a bit of a slight “altercation” when one of the farmers held up the Priory lorry, Sister Amanda climbed down from her position of riding shotgun and approached said slacker, whispered something into his ear, at which point he crossed himself, clasped his hands and knelt down before her, Sister Amanda placed her hand gently on his bowed head, thus positioning it at just the right level for her knee to be brought crashing up into his pointy Gallic nose. She of course crossed herself afterwards and asked the Abbot for forgiveness in doing the work of the Priory. The lorry was able to continue on its way with no further hindrance. One of the members of the group is Sister Jonathan, a 26 year old university graduate, left with a 2-2, that’s not qualifications; it is 2 wins 2 knockouts in the ancient university game of “Scrog-Brockerling”. This game first played in the back streets of Oxfordbridgeshire around 1800, 6pm being the optimum time for finding a “Scrog”, one of the key components of “Scrog-Brockerling”, came to the Priory looking for help as he felt he had lost his way, we very nearly lost him as the Sister that opened the door to him gave him directions and went to send him away as we were in the middle of some relaxation treatment training session and did not want to be disturbed, is a key member of the “re-alignment” team. This team is sent out on specialist duties to visit those members and associated members of the Priory to “assist” them in getting back on the straight and narrow in following the ways of the Priory and its love of all things IL2. It appears that his appointment diary is going to be quite full over the coming months what with people straying into other past-times...

Trib, My offer of sister johnathan was intended as help to supress the locals. He has a certain way of "interfacing" with people he encounters. This all goes back to his mis- spent youth but as I am entering this on my iPhone, more about that for another time.

I can assure you all that none of my nuns are transvestites as I do check on regular training nights except sister johnathan i leave him to continue with his correspondence course on his own......

I watched it on Monday evening. A nice little film with some touching stories from pilots, ATC and ground crew. I want to make a documentary about the spitfire so I can fly in one too......

Great stuff guys but could we move this to "The World according to Bongar" our ready made "funny zone" Friar It is done! -BluBear

You guys have it all wrong...sheep or more correctly S.H.E.E.P stands for a proceedure, it is Sufficient Height and Elevation Escape Proceedure. Check out the explanation on the front page of the web site.

Guys, check out the Reenoooooo thread in the dogz area News from the guys is in there. Bluebear got a text from Sid to say all ok. No offencein closing this thread, just thought it better to have all the news/info in one place.

My friends, come back from this sinful experience that is CLOD, repent and commit your lives to the one true alter that is IL2..(insert Hallelujah Chorus here..) Sister Jonathan is always available for "re-alignment" training....

A great day, good to meet up again. High light for me the Yak display team, 6 or 7 ships in tight formation doing "red arrows" type stuff, as well as the Spits showing off a bit. Afterwards we went to the Red Lion for a bit to eat. The place was only open for the day, probably because the heard the Dogz were coming back! The old place has certainly changed, I feel the old character has now gone. I took some pictures on my new iphone and as I have not got used to the way it words yet they are not brilliant but hope it will give an impression from those that knew the old place what has gone on... Picture 1 - The new bar Picture 2 - Side extension, you can just see through the windows that old "cottage" that stood in the far left hand corner of the car park, I think it was accommodation for the staff? Picture 3 - They still let anyone in though! Picture 4 - Towards the old front door on the main road Picture 5 - Taken standing in the old doorway looking towards what was the beer garden Picture 6 - Taken looking towards what was the reception area / old toilets / TV area

could it have been this one I'll add your name to the guest list Fruity old bean, will be great to see you. Just you or bringing a guest?

Weather is looking ok according to my iPhone Great that you guys are making the trip I have fruitbats number mine is as before 07969826096

Thats great guys, Any more takers, Fruitbat.......Bluebear.......Fenrir......perhaps even Dino........? Would be great to have a mini-dogz get together Cheers Friar

Ok guys let's start getting a proper head count and start making arrangements for meeting up. My initial thinking is 10.00 outside the American hanger? I am taking my wife and daughters and they would love to meet as many of you as they can Salute Friar

We all knew that this sad day would come, for Jim it is a release and he now sleeps peacefully.... Salute.

Roger that.

Jabo, Did you get a chance to follow up on this?, I know the dates are still under review.

Just booked my family tickets for the Saturday, Me, Janet and my two daughters Alexandra 16 and Heather 14. See you there?

Welcome Mate, Perhaps a post to introduce your self to those of us that dont know you..... I am sure you will have a great time here

As the saying goes..... WEST AFRICAN SOLDIER_WMV V9.wmv

I am actually not a fan of the radar feature. Being able to see all the planes does not do it for me.

Hi Dino, That's exactly the sort of thing I been working on. I took the first mission in the Ardennes and trird to convert it to a "co-op". It uses exactly the same flight times (not too long) and the same idea of limiting lives (good for when someone prangs on take off, the whole thing does not have to be restarted) One of the issues I had is that as soon as the mission was loaded the ai started their manoeuvres, take off's etc. all in all though, good idea... Cheers

Rog, I tried to change rooms last night but was told "Permission denied", I get a message when I sign in as well

What has it been like? One would hope that it has fixed a lot of our issues?
