Watched a Doco on BBC 4 last night

Dave Tompkins was a petty thief who craved adventure. His career as an international mercenary began in Africa and took him all over the world - to Afghanistan, Croatia and later to Colombia, where he led a team commissioned to assassinate notorious Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar. He went out with Callan and Copland to Angola he was the explosives guy in the team. While laying some mines he was injured by one going off. Got casavact  back to uk just before Callan executed some of his men. Peter McAleese featured. We had one guy in our squadron who was out there he told me that the only way he survived was to keep to SOP’s staying in the bush and no tracks/roads

I want a piss every time I stand up from sitting, reckon there might be a stone rolling around in the bladder and hitting the 'on' switch. Supposed to be getting an ultrasound scan soon so it might show up, but then of course they'll want to go in through the Jap's Eye with a camera to grab it! 😯

🤣 🤣 🤣 I remember as kids we had a kid in our class with bowel problems, he had note from his mother stating he would be allowed to go to the toilet any time he requested to.

One day the inevitable occurred, when a teacher said to him it's playtime in 5 minutes I am sure you can hang on till then.

Ohhh! Dear the unfortunate soul could not!

Then Septumis, who spoke with a lisp shouted out" Mith Mith heath shited himthelf, and heth thinken!"

The unfortunate souls mother was not best pleased and came to the school, and gave the teaching staff a severe bollocking having to wash her son's shitty clothes!

When I first went to infant's school I must've had dodgy guts, and the headmistress Mrs Williams insisted on all the kids having prunes and custard for pudding at lunchtime. I have a memory of going home with my shorts wrapped in newspaper, wearing a pair from lost property for the first few days till my mum went and had a word in her ear, and I was the only kid in school who had just custard every day from then on! I can eat them with no ill effects these days, it's usually an excess of Guinness that causes any accidents now! 🤣

A neighbour at my last gaff was holding his birthday party in his garden with the Guinness flowing liberally, and I made the mistake of risking a fart and followed through horrendously. After 10 minutes in his Portaloo scooping my kecks out I told him we'd have to leave as I'd shit myself. His eyes bulged as I said not to worry as it never went past my knees. He thought he'd experienced all life could throw at him, coming from a Dublin pikey family, but then he met me! 😋

Had to wear them for a weekend a few years back when a nurse made a bollocks of removing stents from my kidneys to my bladder and I was on permanent send for 3 days before going back in to have the bit she'd left in removed, so it would be nothing new for me Ian! At your advanced age I'm sure you've been in them for years! 🤣
