EXCITING

🤣

In the local paper Norfolk has had 4 people drown in the last week 1 at sea and 3 on the broads.......

Jack, the trouble is that some people either misjudge the tidal undercurrents or just haven't the strength to cope with emergencies which life chucks at us every now and then but you would think if they can't or are poor swimmers then wear some inflatable device before entering water, otherwise it ends in tragedy and others are left to deal with the consequences!

I can't remember many people drowning back in the 60's was it because we were fitter.

I remember on P Company, after a run we ended up at the swimming pool on Queens Avenue at the PT school, we had to get up on the board and swing out over the pool and drop in the water. One bloke dropped in the Water went up and down a couple of times and they realised he couldn't swim and had to be pulled out with a boat hook. When asked why he hadn't told anybody that he couldn't swim, he said because I thought I would Fail! The reply was get out you daft twat! He passed P Company in the end. 😀 

Remember the pool at the PTI school on Queens where we ad to negotiate an assault course, lobbin in after swingin on ropes  etc. Baths reminded me of the old Victorian baths when a wuz a nipper called "The Mens Plunge" The other day some traffic lights failed on the way to Holy Island causing a big fukk off traffic jam across the water wi the tide comin in. Few shittin theresens or wot! 😥 

I remember that old pool from the swimming test in Depot days, but my worst memory of the swimming test was at Roberts Barracks in Osnabruck when we had to break the quarter inch thick ice on the outside pool to do the test in december, f.ck me that was cold! Couldn't understand why they made us do it on a yearly basis, it's not something you forget how to do, you either can or can't fer f.ck's sake, but that was the last time we ever did it anyway! In Belize the RAF used to make their blokes do it the first day in country for some reason and I remember one of their sergeants jumping in and his 12" comb over hair style floated beside him like a raft revealing his real Phil Silvers style much to our amusement!

Remember we had to do that personnel floatation test wearing musketry order,lot of blokes seem to have problems with it. The trick was keep your lungs inflated.

Katie Price wud break the world record duin that test! 🤣 

Mae West had f.ck all on her!

Katie Katie Price wud float wi er lips Pat!

All the plastic and rubber in her would deffo keep her bobbing! If she'd been on that yacht off Italy they'd all have survived by using her as a lifeboat!

It seems quite common these days Pat for naturally pretty young girls to totally fukk up their looks with all the false cosmetic surgery, what a fukkin shame. Never thought in my lifetime that as a youth we all took the piss outa Mick Jaggaz rubber lips, ideal fer stickin the kunt on the wall, wud become the favoured tash look!

Mine spends hundreds getting stuff injected into her face and lips, not to the extent of deforming her gob like the young ones, but I shake my head at it cos she doesn't need it, just become addicted to it. I ask her what the f.ck she thinks she'll look like at 94 with an unmoving face with strange lumps everywhere, but it keeps her happy I suppose! The other day she said she had to go for a 'review' of her gob, but wasn't getting anything done. I asked her why she was smearing the magic pain killing cream on her lips then? Of course she came out with a trout pout and blood all round her gob, happy as a pig in shite and probably 200 quid lighter! 🙄
