harry flashman Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Shouldn't the marines one finish 'go on the lash in a dress to celebrate'. I'm serious, I have utmost respect for the marines but they seem to have a strange penchant for dressing in drag And I think the correct phrase for 'curse bitterly' is actually 'schimpfing' It was in the royal regiment of Scotland anyway. 'boss, don't worry about it, if the jocks stop schimpfing you know there is a problem' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
