Wanted: an away weekend for our 'brigade'

For a while now we've had a selection of books, magzines, suitable reading material etc. in our toilet for those who prefer to linger while 'attending to business' (there really is no need to rush!). While recent reads have included parenting 'manuals', architectural treatises and introductory guides to Islam, things have taken a bizarre turn - thanks to my wife!

Rather worringly Lisa is now 'carefully studying and observing' (as all Officers are encouraged to!) 'Orders and Regulations for Corps Officers'. Which means that at regular intervals (for she is pretty regular!) I am offered useful insights into the role and responsibilities of those engaged in our 'line of work'.

For instance, long aware of Songster Brigades, through Lisa's committed study we've recently learned of the possibility of a 'Drink and Drugs' Brigade (Ch.XX, Section 3, paragraph 1 - for those minded to check!).

Armed with this recent revelation we're looking for other Drink and Drugs Brigades looking to do an exchange weekend - we'd even be open to the possibility of suitable tour!

Maybe reading in the toilet isn't such a good idea after all?!

The "I've got 5 wives brigade" from Chikankata is willing to do an exchange weekend.

Thanks Charlie, with your line in ladies and our drugs and alcohol I'm not sure a weekend together is a good idea?!

Mind you the Salvationist report would probably make interesting reading! Maybe I will send off the yellow forms!

Andrew, I know what the Bible has to say about another man's ox or wife, but is there anything in Os&Rs to deal with coveting another man's caravan?!
