As for Oily's ancestor serving in the RFC, well it is sad that Cleethorpes business. A rather messy business, that should have been left forgotten; for why a grown man would be wearing a dress with a German helmet on his head would try to take off is beyond me.....must have been the absinthe habit it was rumoured he had....
I think you've got it wrong, there, Mark. What I heard was, Biggles Oaf was an RFC mechanic who fell in love with a visiting American's sexy Czech wife, Brenda Bendova. Biggles bragged to Bendova that he could fly, she asked him to take her up, he slapped a German helmet on her head, put her in the back of a Sopwith Tripes he'd been working on, and was just in the process of trying to take off, when the American, who knew Biggles couldn't fly, shot Biggles through the temples to save his wife's life.Quote:

Gannex...well I knew there was some illicit subtances involved...after all, it is Oily's ancestors, a shameful past that he should be at great pains to not bring up too much. He is a good man for someone with a fetish for llamas and ancient hedgetrimmers....
The really sad part is, Oily thinks Biggles was a great man..delusional fantasies must be part of the Oaf family traits....
Enough already!
I didn't come here to be pilloried thus :(
PS Did I mention my other Great Grandad, Albie "Popeye" Sump-Plug
He joined The Royal Navy in 1913 to "see the world" and spent the next 30 years in a submarine.
Heck Oily, at least he didn't get shot by an American for trying to steal his woman!!!
True, but his naval career ended badly, when he was caught in a compromising position with a periscope.
Gannex, you are an expert on the Oaf family tree it seems....Oily must resent you airing all the family dirty laundry. Just what did he do with the periscope?
Because this is a family forum, I can't go into too much detail about that, except to say that Albie "Popeye" Sump-Plug is the only person in medical history to have been castrated by an optical instrument.
Take it back or by The Holy Oxo Cube of Carthage you'll be picking bits of beef stock gelatine out of your ears for a fortnight you cackling Godless hyena!Quote:

Gannex it is a shame about Oaf's family....he seems so well adjusted except for his odd bit of mindless violence and exposing himself to the local goats on his walks....
Now of course, the real issue is, did Sump plug do it all in the service of his nation?
