And so it came to pass, back in Garrison sitting drinking Zythum (ancient Egyptian beer) that went under the name Stella on benches outside with the Zygosis of the multitude of starts above swapping stories of much cooler times in England before we became Zygnomic warriors of a discordant Government. The Colonels wife cycled by, a Zaftig (full round figure) but to us lads who only ever saw female Camels it put a stop to our drinking the Zythum for a minute. Some of the 6th Para were dancing the Zamacueca with some of the 42 Commnado’s a sight to see as we sat eating our snack of Zakuska, the Zambomba beating out the time for the dancers in their zanyism accompany was the Zanza all quite barbaric in we knew how it would end, black eye’s loose teeth and blood everywhere, still it passed the time Zappy entertainment. The evening progressed as we quaffed our cups of Zythum Billy from east london went into his usual Zemirah although he did not have a Hebrew bone in his body, Tom went into his Zemni phase or blind mole rat falling into a tank trap, and Ted started on his story of the Nun on Dartmoor, it changed every time he told it but always included the Zelator and zelatrix, we all reckoned those Nun minders must have caught him and punished them both. To loud shouts of ZOUNDs, well we were soldiers and did not use heavy language. As the Battle started we departed from the fray doing an in line Zydeco passed the sleeping tanks to our beds and a last supper of Zwieback, nothing like a toasted biscuit to go to bed on.
Ladybird, I slap my hand, my rereading was amiss. Zygosis means conjugation which of course should have been followed by STARS and not starts. My apology's. My brain must have been invaded by Zyzzyva a South American weevil.
Do you know what Frank, my brother told me that word today - the last word in the dictionary (for now) so that is very spooky. Fancy a little weevil displacing a beer!
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Ladybird, depends on which dictionary you use, they are adding words weekly it surprised me to find Zablaglione at the head of one, Italian sweet custard? where is the crumble I ask. I always saw the funny side of the military, you could not make it up. The dancing Para's and Commando's would really go downhill when they decided to ask us Tanky's to dance, luckily Stella came in good solid bottles, a few cracked heads normally drove them off.

Frank, you never let us down. Brilliant observation as always. I'm going to miss your posts.
