My name is Lxxxxx Jxxxx Xxxxxx. I am a former student of Watts Naval Training School and my number was 117 I was In six and three companies, my instructors were Fizzy Spain, Killer Stark, Bert Busby and my head master Hugh Wallace Hoskins. My favourite teachers were Mr stokes and Mr Phillips who were more Humane and with whom I felt more comfortable with. My time at WNTS was between 16-12-1936 and 7-1-1942. After which the school received a gratuity of 25 pounds sterling (British Currency) on my induction into the British Royal Navy. At age nearly 79 (2003) I still have vivid memories of the school; most of which I must truthfully state were not to my liking. Reading various stories of former people at the school, the school had its good points, but these were not reflected by the actual students; whose creature discomforts were at a very low point compared to that of the staff, to state the obvious I was rarely happy at WNTS. I having seen better times before my arrival there.<BR/> I now live in Australia since leaving the Royal Navy on Pension in the late sixties.<BR/>On reflection, no child in this informative day and age would put up with the type of abuse and shit that we did at that F^#*+^(G place.<BR/><BR/>Friday, 11 May 2007 11:36:00 AM EST<BR/><BR/><BR/>Post<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Post a Comment <BR/><BR/>Links to this post:<BR/> <$BlogBacklinkTitle$> <BR/><$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> <BR/>posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> <BR/>Create a Link<BR/><BR/><< HomeVesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390020901033513032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-11702893200241713402007-05-11T07:28:00.000+10:002007-05-11T07:28:00.000+10:00If it's not one thing, it's always another.I've le...If it's not one thing, it's always another.<BR/>I've learned that.<BR/>Everyone winds up having crosses to bear.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158409505328990008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-35926974032861191302007-05-10T21:49:00.000+10:002007-05-10T21:49:00.000+10:00Just recd your bookTHANKS Jim looking forward to ...Just recd your book<BR/>THANKS Jim<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>looking forward to reading all the naughty things u done in your youth<BR/><BR/>vest@dailygaggle.com wrote:<BR/>sent noon monday 30-4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-21842537746727994902007-05-10T21:44:00.000+10:002007-05-10T21:44:00.000+10:00Tuesday, May 08, 2007God is a Salami Sandwich I on...Tuesday, May 08, 2007<BR/>God is a Salami Sandwich<BR/> <BR/>I once began writing a book called God is a Salami Sandwich.<BR/>That would have been a very good book. I gave you that inspiration. Why did you not write it?<BR/>It felt like blasphemy. Or at the very least, horribly irreverent.<BR/>(<BR/>You mean wonderfully irreverent! What gave you the idea that God is only "reverent"?<BR/><BR/>God is the up and the down. The hot and the cold. The left and the right.The reverent and the irreverent!<BR/><BR/>Think you that God cannot laugh? Do you imagine that God does not enjoy a good joke? Is it your knowing that God is without humor'? I tell you, God invented humor.<BR/><BR/>Must you speak in hushed tones when you speak to Me? Are slang words or tough language outside My ken?<BR/>I tell you, you can speak to Me as you would speak with your best friend.<BR/><BR/>Do you think there is a word I have not heard? A sight I have not seen? A sound I do not know?Is it your thought that I despise some of these, while I love the others?<BR/><BR/>I tell you, I despise nothing. None of it ;s repulsive to Me. It is life, and life is the gift; the unspeakable treasure; the holy of holies.I am life, for I am the stuff life is. Its every aspect has a divine purpose.<BR/><BR/>Nothing exists - nothing - without a reason understood and approved by God.<BR/>- from CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, Book 1<BR/><BR/>Posted by Jim at 5:50 AM 2 comments <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Saturday, May 05, 2007Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793792829148051260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-56806381925464519592007-05-10T21:20:00.000+10:002007-05-10T21:20:00.000+10:00why do u go back to bad memories !tell us how you ...why do u go back to bad memories !<BR/>tell us how you lost your virginity<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>.<BR/>got itJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793792829148051260noreply@blogger.com
