Returning from a stint in Iraq my buddy Robbie had his portable jammer in his day-sack....highly illegal of course, but if you want peace and quiet in a Notting Hill pub just turn it on for ten minutes and watch the civvies jump!

Ok so when we arrived at BATUS , we were briefed by a Canadian CSM , basicly saying “ yep you saw a buffalo as you drove through the gates ,have a beer ,have fun ,but don’t fuck with Earl he will kill you

Exactly - a wide spectrum inhibitor...we turned it on...then off...on then off....50m radius was a dead zone!Bit like sifter ,joker, chimp etc
In the officers' mess was a huge bison head and of the cavalry subalterns shaved its chin. How I ended up in the office of Commande BATUS is anybody's guess! I might have proofed the Canadian flag though...might.Ok so when we arrived at BATUS , we were briefed by a Canadian CSM , basicly saying “ yep you saw a buffalo as you drove through the gates ,have a beer ,have fun ,but don’t fuck with Earl he will kill you
When my guys arrived at BATUS they were briefed by the RCMP "if you start a fight we will use CS gas and tasers immediately" that was almost a "come-on"!
The good old days
Does anyone remember the professor who was issued a grant to discover why breakfast cereal went soggy? His conclusion - it was caused by adding milk. This was a couple of decades ago now but caused a bit of a stir at the time.
I do not remember the professor, but do remember the earth-shattering report. Not dissimilar to the massive study into how dropped toast falls to the deck, with nuggets as erudite and educative as this: "it is found that the experimentally determined free fall angular velocity of a slice of buttered toast, tumbling off the edge of a table, can only be predicted at all accurately if slipping is taken into account". Well bugger me. I might be a poorly educated former Bootneck and from Devon at that, but I have spent enough time on HM ships to take "slipping" into the equation!
@Redcoat one of my guys from Leeds said "I dare you" to the RCMP sergeant...not what the cop expected.The good old days
Just asking for trouble
Did you know that one of the hotel/bars/strip joints in Med Hat is called The Asiniboa Inn? The guys refer to it as the Sin Bin...obviously. As a young and impressionable subaltern I learned a great deal in Canada! Raul's Rose Garden was also highly edifying, thirty years of entertaining British troops and then it burned down...

, young ,foolish ,thought the world was ours for the taking , and we took as much as we could

Drivers who cross the middle white line on roads when it's not necessary. Keep to your own side of the road people!

Seems particularly bad on country roads.
I learned very quickly that The Boss has to lead from the front - if they are in Belize scrummaging with Paras then the Boss is in Belize scrummaging with Paras!We never got out ,gated for scrapping with 29 , had four days in Edmonton
We stayed with the PPCLI Paras in Edmonton, year or so before they were disbanded.
Normal driving in Turkey and Georgia, often on blind bends and even with one of Solihull's finest coming towards them! If oncoming they expect the driver on the other side of the road to pull over for them whatever the consequence! Even the cops do it in Turkey!!!Drivers who cross the middle white line on roads when it's not necessary. Keep to your own side of the road people!
On the same theme - how about these .....
Now, I didn't realise Dodo's were colonial supremacists or slaves but what do I know
and when you dig up a skeleton now you can't specify where it originated from - dat's racist. As you said - FFS.
and if you thought that was mad - archaeologists shouldn't identify remains as male or female - you never know they could be one of the other 96 genders
I'm starting to feel like Victor Meldrew. "I don't believe it".
