I know I'm not going, I don't think its being specified anywhere, but the post on the great coat spurred me onto post this. I am not organising this event, its nothing to do with me, but after incidents at a time that shall not be mentioned 
can I just ask you all consider the following points as I want you all home and online after this weekend so I can annoy you all some more 
Keep warm, something dry to change into if needs is an absolute necessary, even if its for the drive home. Something warm to wear on the night whilst your bimbling about. I would hate to hear of any of you lot being needed to be carted off for hypothermia so pleeeeeeeeeeease be sensible. Dry socks for day 2, 2nd set of uniform if you have it, whatever JUST KEEP WARM. I hope you're lucky and the weather is with you, but at least consider and be prepared that it may not, it could rain(your going to wales) and you may get soggy
Water, funny thing and you'll no doubt see lots of it at the weekend (River/stream) and the sea (that vast expanse that will be behind the Allies and in front of the Axis) I don't mean that btw, I mean the stuff you drink, water bottles are an essential item, especially if you're going to be miles away from the CP where water may be provided I don't want to hear anyones been rushed of to hospital from dehydration
Food, simple really EAT, I know you won't starve but seeing as some people forget this essential necessity DON'T
I'm totally green with envy at all of you going to play 
but I really truely DON'T want to hear of any incidents that could have been prevented with preparation I want to hear you all come back with glowing reviews and make me truely jealous you had a fun time, and not that some rodney forget to drink any fluids and is ill.
Tis not rocket science, you can all be boy sprouts if you want, BE PREPARED
Thanks mum.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
I know but considering some people missed the details a previous time, and I really do think quite highly of most of you (some more than others ... jk) and as it was missed completely last time in the main blurb I though as noone else was going to point it out, I would 
.
I'd like to think you 'orrible lot may realise this, but I know some won't think about it until its too late so motherly head on as I'm not there with supplies of sugar, tea, bags, hot chocolate, food, tarpaulin, longjohns (Che) etc etc I thought a little reminder might serve well, am sure you all want to enjoy the event
And I thought it was only tiny that confused me with being Mom
Thanks for the concern Helga , this event has crept up on me but I managed to sort some of my gear today, will definately be getting some Pot Noodles and coffee sachets in

)

A chemical thats what it is so am I not a table/canteen/restaurant based word then seeing as thats as close as I can find in the german english dictionary for the word given
Hmmm, a nickel compound!
Dunno I recognised the word its in Muirs bible also known as Hazardous Chemicals in the lab, its Iron arsenide
I prefer this: Verbotene Speise schmeckt am besten. 
odd comment to shake your finger at I thought they were the best if altavista is correct in translation
Best but Verbotene - wagging finger at myself for even thinking it.
Ah wagging finger makes sense now 
Der Speiss - the Hauptfeldwebel , an honoury title for the highest NCO position, in charge of company admin etc.
Known as the "mother of the company" , two rings round both arms and reporting pouch in front of tunic .
Aha - helps if the spelling is right! Spiess / Speiss
