If you're wondering what "Colin Time" is all about then take a look at the first page (click here). This page holds those moments which are not necessarily the most recent, but provide long-lasting entertaining memories for everyone associated with the troop - and hopefully others will find them amusing too...

• Chicken and leek soup - in an effort to stay lightweight Luke and David dispensed with all luxuries in their rucksacks. Hence they spent two days eating nothing but chicken and leek soup. Much better if washed down with a date and almond bar...
• Carrier Bag Footwear - when Toby went gorge walking and left his only dry footwear 100 miles away, what better alternative is there than tying a couple of Tesco bags to your feet? Advantage: you get a piggy back to McDonald's in Merthyr Tydfil. Disadvantage: the looks you get.
• Jumper trousers - Josh's trendy leg apparel on the Walton Firs assault course.
• "Which aisle?" a PL's response to another Scout informing us that he had gone to the toilet in Safeway in Fort William
• The Basket Burner - cycling along the Down's Link on a shopper complete with bell and basket
• "Two cost a pound" - one APL's response to being asked how much a donut cost at McD's, ever the salesman
• The Millenium Stave - Alan's invention that scared the living daylights out of anyone that went near it in the hut
• "I KNOW!" - a PL, very frustrated at being offered some help with how to use a sheet sleeping bag - for god's sake, nobody save his life, he'll be really angry!
• Saying things louder - our favourite leadership technique - if someone doesn't do something you ask, simply say it louder
• "Get Out" an order from Ed which nobody seems to take any notice of
• Mr Happy - a particularly angry leader we met
• "Chief" - our floater's word for stealing something that nobody else had ever heard used - perhaps we're a bit sad
• "Luvin it, Luvin it, Luvin it" - from the Pied Piper song, but we were saying this well before it came out in the chart
• The Handbags - Kestrel's Patrol Leader prefers to dispense with a standard rucsac and instead comes on each activity with a variety of handbags. Well, they look like handbags. Very this season darling!
• "Bundle" - Just mutter this word under your breath in Hersham and you'll soon see a group of 1st Hersham Scouts forming a mass-pile-up somewhere nearby.
• Most attractive to sheep - one PL found a sheep particularly friendly during a mountain day in the Brecon Beacons. Perhaps it was the Kendell Mint Cake been eaten at the time - perhaps sheep just can't resist him. Mention it and prepare yourself for the "angry look".
• The Nutcracker - be careful how you fall off your mountain bike in the Forest of Dean - those cross-bars hurt! The Nutcracker drop has now gained infamy.
• Cold water - how cold does water get before it turns into ice? Try that experienced during white water rafting in December. Brrrrrr - it's a bit nippy.
