🤣 🤣 🤣 you always imagine Japs as small people, but when you see the size of some of them wrestlers it knocks it all out the window!
Did tha see that split link javelin thrower at the Olympics Bob? Fukkin ell! She med Cyril Smith look like a fukkin pencil neck!
I was watching the Hammer event, which took me back a few years to my time in the gym, When the SSI APTC was training for the Commonwealth Games in the hammer event. Us AIPTs were having our break in the AIPTs room when a bloody great cannon ball with wire and handle crashed through the roof and embedded itself in the parquet floor, luckily missing us all! This was quickly followed by the door bursting open and a very pale SSI APTC, who said thank fekk for that I thought I had killed somebody! I said to him, You would have had some explaining to do to my missus as to how her husband had been killed by a bloody cannon ball in this day and age! 😕Â
When 2 and 3 Para happened to be in Sennelager range complex together in Germany, about '79, it was decided to hold a inter battalion Olympic competition involving all the Olympic sports including pole vault which saw several near deaths. Big Andy Davis was trying his hand with the hammer, getting what we thought were impressive results of about 20 yards, when the RAF officer who was Air Adjutant came and offered some advice. We all sneered and thought "What the f.ck does this Air Hat know about chucking a cannonball about?" till he began whirling like a dervish and the thing flew through the air to disappear over the beer tent about 70 yards away! Turned out he was a medal winning Commonwealth Games champion, banned from our games as such, and his advice was gladly accepted. Didn't help much as the only thing 3 Para won was the fishing competition!
Mi owd man luvved iz Sunday fishin trips wi the lads from the Working mens club, took me once but kunt fukkin stand it, too sedentary sittin theer drownin maggots all day but realised the interest when calling at a battlecruiser on the way oo-am sittin outside wi a bottle o pop n a bag o crisps while the geezers n towd man wo gerrin well n truly pissed inside!
Don't mind fishin' for mackerel or fly fishin' where you're moving a bit but sitting by a pond watching a float and catching tiddlers to throw back never interested me. For years I had free fishing rights at a mate's trout lake near here in payment for a few jobs I did for him, then it was sold to a relative who made it a coarse fishing place with old blokes sat around on stools with big umbrellas or tents catching 4" long tench etc and chucking 'em back, not fer me thanks!
Used to go boat fishing off the coast at Folkestone, great when the mackerel were in. Some people used lines with loads of hooks and bait, pulling them out like a production line. Just preferred a single hook and lure myself better sport I thought but that's just a personal preference.Â
