About this listen

 I spent my first Christmas away from family and friends on this posting in 1958. The commissioned officers served our xmas dinners, turkey, roasted potatoes, and over cooked vegetables followed by  xmas pudding and mince pies. The white wine that was served was truly abysmal and resembled a not too classy white wine vinegar, undrinkable to most of us. One chap seemed to enjoy quaffing it and  ended up with several glasses which were donated by the more discerning drinkers. The next morning we found this individual sleeping it off in a monsoon ditch oblivious of the trail of ants tramping to  and fro across his body.
