Beltring #1? You mean when us in Yurrup learned there was a Maple Leaf Down as well? Or do you want the real story?

O.k., here we go. While a Maple Leaf Downer every now and then during socialising was'nt too bad, I was not amused when I found out Sunray snored even worse while lying on his back in my small two-man DTB tent. Next night when we finally turned in after a few drinks Sunray was vast asleep a split second before his head hit his pillow and was snoring the night away. One of us had to move if I was going to have some sleep that night. Of course Sunray wouldn't wake up to the sound of a 25-pdr fired next to him, so my only option was to find shelter elsewhere. The back of Al's truck was already taken by another Canuck, so I opted to sleep in my own car. I did get some sleep, but next night I would be no more Mr Nice Guy. So the third evening, when Geoff was still awake I handed him my car keys and asked him to put on his snoring act there. All at Camp McStolly welcomed the sound deadening effects of metal and glass compared to light wieght nylon. I slept great that night, and without any remorse I might add
