I'm in a really bad mood, had a very bad night's sleep last night and now the sodding Army have decided that it is a really good night to be doing some exercises involving heavy artillery......
My sister-in-law lived near the edge of an airfield with planes constantly taking off and landing. The first time I visited I hit the floor when a plane roared overhead. She was amazed at my reaction, she had not even noticed it and no she wasn't deaf, just got used to the noise!
I've spent much time in your neck of the woods Sherrard and know it and them well! You do get used to it, but just sometimes when you are in a particularly murderous mood you can really do without the sodding noise..... (insert your own smiley, I've run out!)
Hi blue, it's an army base with lots of helicopters. They're constantly parachuting out of them and when some royals came to visit one of the parachutists (if that's a word) got blown off course (or wasn't v good) and landed at the end of our road. I thought it was funny.
