I was engaged to the only lass I've ever been in love with and was posted to Germany (Air Force). Post arrives just after lunch and there's always a big scramble for your mail. I got mine and sat down in the tea-bar with about 50 guys and recognised the writing on one of my letters from my fiancee so opened that one first. My engagement ring fell out. I looked up to find there was no-one in the tea-bar all of a sudden. Then I got drunk for about 6 months.
Standing in an airport newsagents waiting in line for a packet of crisps as I was flying over to Belfast to see my sick mum - my uncle rang me to tell me she'd died.
