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

🤣 🤣 🤣 after one of the prostate ops, I decided to have a walk along Deal sea front, approaching Walmer Castle, where there were public bogs just before it my bladder decided to suddenly empty itself. Covered in piss I had to get back to the car in Deal. It took a while to regain control after that op!

When I had a catheter in for a week or so they fitted a tap instead of a bag so that whenever the urge took me I could just open the tap instead of having to empty the bag. Only problem was the tap kept coming off the tube letting the piss soak me for several minutes before I'd realise. Several mornings running I'd get to the shop for my paper and get out of the car soaked in piss, just had to shrug and smile at the girls as they served me and say 'Yes I've pissed myself again!'. They got used to it quite quickly! 😜Â

Funny enough Pat, the tap I had no problem with it was the amount of infections that went with it that bothered me! It was a big relieve after the operation when they finally took the bloody thing out for good.Â
