I'd like to but I doubt the pinned together pelvis and ankle would take it. One of those tandem jobs where you land like a fairy's fart on yer arse might be the answer I reckon.

The Belgian Para Commando veteran lads o still able ta do the balloon lob Bob. Don,t think they av ta fukk about safety wise like we do over ere. Only prob mi mate Steve Crookes ad a pop n fukked iz sen up but thankfully had taken out iz own insurance cover wihch paid fer iz time o,er theer in dock. He sed the hossy facilities wo first class, even ad a bar in the joint, "Drink to ease the pain" philosophy!

Trouble is here your never considered as an individual, just another useless old twat,wanting to cause himself a damage.

Yesterday watched some newscaster on the Telly abseiling from the top of the Spinnecke tower at Portsmouth. He was shaking like a sheep shitting razor blades when reached the deck. I said to the Ayathola I wouldn't mind a crack at that. She just gave me a withering look and shook her head. Think she's trying to tell me something? 🙄 

Detest when "Trouble" sez, "Don,t you think you,re too old for doing that" when all am duin iz re pointin the ridge cap on our bungalow. She,s probably hopin tharra fall off n break mi fukkin neck!

As we've said many a time Dave lad, it's what keeps you going moving about and doing stuff. Once you lose that it's the rocky road to decay mate.

If tha keeps active Bob tha dunt arf doss better.

Dave Eleanor cracks the whip mate, I'm just the galawa I go where she pulls the reins ! And I sleep like a log!

That,s bad luck Don, shows how one fukk up by some other fukker can totally change the quality of your life.

31? I wuz az strong and fit az fukk, it,s father time that,s tekkin its toll on me. Like a flower we blossom and bloom then gradually over time wither n kipper. Bit of a bastard tho when some numbskull digs the flower up in its full bloom!

When I went for my final medical in Palace Barracks some 12 yr old Hat doctor looked at the various injuries and conditions the unit doc had put down as a claim for the War Pension and said "I just don't see how a relatively young man of 40 can have picked up so many hurts!" I said to him that he had no idea of what we put our bodies through in The Reg as he would spend his whole career working as a mobile GP out of a Land Rover or APC and would never find himself plummeting from the air in pitch blackness before picking up his extremely heavy kit and carrying it for miles across rough terrain before putting in section attacks or similar. "Try 23+yrs of that then come back and sign my chit!" I said! He humbly signed and gave me a fairly comfortable living so far! 🙄 

very true Pat I managed to run marathons until my hip gave out took up cycling 11 years ago  will continue as long as I can 

The scaffolding they put in my pelvis and ankle after my foray into stunt driving has put paid to any ambitions of triathlete fame Jack, as my 'running' is reduced to a 10yd lurch and getting my arse over a bike saddle is near impossible. Still able so swim at least! 🤣 

What you went through Pat  I certainly would not want to experience and the ailments some people complain about  I have a friend who has had a knee replaced and is still overweight keeps saying he will do more exercise. Just in 30 miles racing the clock (the clock won)  "Mind over matter" we don't  mind and you don't matter. Pat you are Airborne 

If you can still walk that's good enough, no special equipment required. Just get out there and put one foot in front of the other. The simpletons guide to staying alive!
