In my early 20's at RAF Brize Norton we used to smuggle a bottle of scotch into the bar,order quadruple sloe gins & top them off with whisky.
Not recommended!

Back in the 80's if the USN came into town it was usually a big carrier + support ships & if you had a girl then you'd better hang on to her!

They were indeed. Kevin Ayers as well on line up. Can't remember the other bands.
It was a time when I was trying to be the man and I smoked a few St Moritz menthol cigarettes, that combined with crisps, bananas, sandwiches and coca cola, made me as sick as a dog. It required a trip to the toilets well away from the concert venue, and by the time I got back an area was being kept well away from by those watching, I suppose vomit isn't something people want to be near to.
I do remember people shouting 'Wally' a lot, may be that was directed at me. A lot of cans of fizz or beer were being thrown, we were odd in the 70s.
I remember when Edgar Broughton were doing Out Demons Out everyone was chanting Out Skinheads out.

I worked night shifts for seven months last year and 4.5 months the year before and don't think I will do it again this year - or if I do, only for a couple of months. I was doing 12 hrs a night for four nights, then getting four days off, or so it looks on the calendar but that is deceiving because the first day off you are recovering from the past four nights, and the last day off you can't get up to much because you have to work that night. It also got me into trouble with taxes, which I will be late filing as I'll miss the deadline of April 30 because I don't go home until mid-May, so be it. Finally, last summer was the best summer at home we've seen for years and here I was sleeping (when lucky) through the best parts of it.
In the Isle of Man in 1997 I did 2 x 12hr days followed by 2 x 12hr nights then supposedly 4 off for 6 months.
That shift pattern is quite common on the flight line & popular as when the aircraft are serviceable for the morning flights you can get your head down.Trouble was I was doing scheduled maintenance in the hangar so no such let up.
Fucking hated it but it was my first job as a licenced engineer & I didn't want to upset anyone.I should've gone sick with stress.

After a nightshift with another nightshift to follow.
That's when I went off with stress.
I did a bit of 12hr nightshifts when younger,perpetually knackered I'm sure it shortens ones lifespan.
2004 5/5 rotation in Geneva was the last,after that I refused any job which involved nights.
