Apologies if this loses some of its fun in translation, and sorry if anyone finds it distasteful, but I've been to the pub, had a few drinks and it made me laugh! Hope you enjoy it too...
Two Palestinians are sitting in the Gaza strip chatting over a pint of goat's milk.
One pulls his wallet out and starts flipping through pictures and they start reminiscing. "This is my oldest son. He's a martyr".
"Here's my second son. He's a martyr too!"
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Arab wistfully says, "They blow up so fast, don't they?"

To take it back a while I think a board training session is well called for and with the added advantage of half of you not watching Eddie Stone and Co last night I've a pretty good chance!! I have this hand signals lark licked now from ambushing to booby traps! Mind you I'm having trouble with the droopy mexican moustache (thankfully)..

Lynn: due to my training, I'm able to reveal such things. :)
>>By ortlieb (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 12:08)
I watched eddie stone an co last night and that guy did have an award winning moustache but it was a pitty when he stood on the bomb thingy and also when johnny died. The best part i think was when they showed the multiple casualty scenario and he had to decide which to treat first.
>>By christina (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 12:53)
Bethan and Christina... uhm... just so I can be fully frustrated, what program please?
Ortlieb, just what were you training for?!? Or wait, maybe I don't want to know! :o\
Oh, and Lynn, did you notice the way that... oh hang on, why am I typing this? Here, wait a mo, lemme just adjust the angle on this a bit, there, are you receiving the signal clearly now? :o)

aka Caroline from pages 41-45. And oh boy are you sorry now! Hey, did you see that thing on telly last night about the SAS on their missions? I'm annoyed about that because my friends were half convinced about my being an SAS commando (although obvioulsy not - but my extensive knowledge always made them stop and look as if to say, 'freak, but she knows so much...') but now they can go and watch this tv programme and learn for themselves. sigh.
My mum tells folk that I am an SAS commando and laughs at me, telling them not to encourage me as I am living on the edge already! hee - but they say but they dont let girls into the SAS, to which I think *scratch balls* so my disguise is working then...
>>By Pomplemous (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 13:55)
Aha - I can see that yes you did see that programme - Christina! I know, about the mousie, but you remember that Ol' Andy Babes did mention that this was the norm in the regiment (in the 80's mind you) - the whacking great big mousie. dear me!
Can you believe I STILL havent read Liberation day yet? sigh - I cant find it in paperback and I just cant justify £18 on a hardback book that I weill read in a day. so instead I am reading 1968 - about Vietnam.
And I bought a book (giggle) on SAS secrets - which has bunches of cool stuff, like all the hand signals and how to lose dogs off your tracks etc (though I knew already) - so this will wow my mates!
oocha! compromised so I had better go and eat my C-rations
>>By Pomplemous (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 13:59)
somebody back on the last page mentioned if these SAS programmes were giving something away - I was thinking just the same - now they know their flare tactics, their medical stuff, their kit and what they carry - let's hope there's no baddies watching.
>>By Pomplemous (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 14:18)
Welcome, Pomplemous! (whispered: Hi again, Caroline!) You always make me feel so much better about my little "problem"... :o)
>>By am-i-binned (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 15:10)
AIB
The SAS Survival Show with Eddie Stone and co. Sorry you don't get BBC over there you would have loved it. Their mission was to shoot a general (which they did) and then they went on the run, one man stood on a mine and lost his leg and another was killed in a firefight. So only Eddie and someone whose face is blanked out are alive and still running - it carries on next week. Will they survive? We have to tune in to find out. Mind you Sgt Stone looks a little podgy now!
>>By Bethan (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 16:07)
That's right am-I-binned, because it's not just you....it's us as well.
Phew! I have eaten too much, there's not a hope of my eluding baddies with big guns and balaclavas (I was about to type mascara!!) - unless I selflessly let the dogs have a nibble at me to allow my team complete the ever important mission.
I'm a right chuffed wee lassy cos I have just had a second email from Robert C Mason - the author of Chickenhawk!!!! What a gentleman! We're buddies now so maybe one day he'll pop over to Scotland in a Huey and whisk me away.....sigh.
>>By Pomplemous (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 16:22)
The guy with the moustache, is the brother of Peter Mcaleese - author of 'No mean Soldier' - and if you remember the Embassy Siege in 1980, he is also the guy you see blowing out the front window. He's one hard Muther.
>>By Scouse (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 16:23)
What a crowded house today.
I think I'm the loser of the day, cause I do receive BBC but forgot to watch, only saw the last 5 minutes. Punisment hat? Nah, feel punished enough already by missing the show.
AIB, received you loud and clear but now batteries are low (end of a working day)
Nice one Apparently - bit cruel though..?
Caroline, how ever did you come up with Pomplemous. But welcome back of course.. What did you do between page 43 and 77??
And a moustache... ah, it might even suit you. Why not try (send us a picture!) Oh, and try eBay for your copy of Liberation Day !
>>By Lynn (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 16:50)
Lady Lynn - Pomplemous is my code name - it was a nickname given to me at University and it's a good strong comedy word. Pomp-leh-moos
After page 43 I didnt come to visit much cos I was on an undercover mission. I cant say much more than that except I live and the target doesnt. Messy, but just a day out.
Gads!! This blooming office - there's one fly buzzing about my head (I am clean, honest!!) come on Phil the Fly - in you pop (into my top pocket)
I havent yet explored ebay but I have no way of buying stuff over internet - my fake cards and new identity is not ready yet so I have no cards or anything.
Oh this is the most wonderful place! Being able to talk the rubbish I normally do with people who talk just as much!! my friends love me but look at me like I have 2 heads - which on Sundays I do...
NEVER CLAIMED TO BE CLEVER!!!!!

Hey, Scouse, talking about the Embassy Seige got me thinking -- I've read about the news coverage and all, but I've never really gone looking for any of that footage. Is there a program or video or such available? (Yeah, I know I suffer from PAL-impairment, but I'm looking into a remedy...)
>>By am-i-binned (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 17:40)
There was a programme about the SAS and they had the mousie man there saying that they had wanted the Iran Embassy siege to go ahead cos it was so frustrating that thewy were all trained and geared up and rarting to go only to have the police call it off - so they wanted it to happen to put the training into practice. I did think I had seen him before. And Eddie Stone I was laughing at cosat the start of the programme last night they didnt show his photo and I thought - dunno why you're hiding your face mate, we saw you on SAS Are you tough enough?
It was a BBC2 programme - Horizon or something I think. Check the BBC website. www.bbc.co.uk
>>By Pomplemous (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 17:45)
Hello All,
AIB I just happened across this site whilst I was looking for tartans strangely enough. Where do you come from, if that isn't too much of a personal question? I only ask because I know someone who can record NTSC videos from British TV.
RE: John "Mac" MacAleese who was the one with the moustache on the SAS Survival Secrets programme last night. I watched a program about the Iranian embassy seige and in that he said that many of the Regiment had moustaches and long hair as this was the fashion at the time and useful for deployment in NI.
The C4 programme SAS the real story is on at 9pm tonight and it includes stuff about Borneo. My dad worked with the SAS in Borneo (he was a Royal Artillery sound ranger) so I'm going to see if there's any archive footage so I can keep an eye out for him.
>>By RobbieBoy (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 17:51)
It was called SAS survival secrets, 8pm Sunday BBC2:
New series. Behind Enemy Lines: Four ex-SAS veterans reveal survival secrets that kept them alive. Today, how to go behind enemy lines and what to do when facing with the enemy. Disturbing scenes
>>By christina (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 17:53)
Oooh, RobbieBoy! You iz gonna be my goodest friend -- well, or actually, maybe your friend is gonna be my even goodester friend! I'm in the US, hence, PAL-impaired.
I'm getting confusilated about all the programs, tho. More than the ones I'm missing currently, I was wondering about news footage originally shot covering the Embassy Seige, and maybe any subsequent documentaries. The Eddie Stone and co./SAS Survival thingie -- is this a fictional program, a dramatization, a reenactment? Triage and blown up legs? Too dense here to discern...
>>By am-i-binned (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 18:12)
*excited* ace!!! Well, not ace that it was hairy, but exciting that we get to know about these things!!!
Why has there been such an influx of SAS stuff on telly? Why do you hear nothingn about the SBS - now THEY are much harder bastiges!!!
My boyfriend works offshore and he recently worked on an oilrig that had the SBS training on it - they had to abseil up and down the legs of the rig and they had to fly the choppers by instruments only to come to a hover with the nose just inches from the leg and bring the chopper up in a very menacing fashion. I think I'll switch alleagance,,,alleigance....alliegance... how do you spell that? dont know so I wont use that word again.
Giggle.
>>By Pomplemous (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 18:15)
Happened (during chill-out from long drive) to zap the TV zapper, and, LO and Behold "The Eddie Stone and co": reenactment, as in telling it how it is (not) - pisstake of SAS wannabe' in the name of money-for-old-rope... blurred face that of Pete...
Excellent makeup on blown-off leg, and the infamous Mexican tache!!! Hilarious so-called unconscious guy (spreadeagled - tremorous grin), tracheostomy, etc., of victims in Land-Rover incident...
Great day Sat, Lynn, the reg of Merc "K" SO3 YCK = translated
K driving = Special Op 3, glad it was YCK not FCK! which might of been a bad omen of FCK UP as end result...Tell you more later...
>>By buddy (Monday, 22 Sep 2003 18:38)
Yep, a-i-b, there's a Video of the siege. Try Amazon.
Oooooooh, nearly forgot. There's a great item on Ebay. Mars and Minerva - Journal of the SAS. Very Rare item: named photos, service history, obituaries. Its up to 30 quid at the moment, 3 hours left.

Hmm.. didn't expect to find Eminem is your CD-collection?
Hah-hah... sorry, I'm sitting at school typing out an essay, and my a** hurts from sitting on this 1970's chair for hours.
But.... who dares wins. Or, optionally - who keeps putting off important school-work until the very last minute will suffer.
