[goudie]

That's a bit of a downer for the chaps!

Thieves grab RAF Viagra and £7m of equipment | The Times (http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/defence/article3981240.ece)

[ORAC]

Was it a Stick-Up? :}:}

[ShyTorque]

Mahram? Is that in the middle east?

The RAF states that Viagra has other medical uses, such as treating low blood pressure and altitude sickness.

And stopping their ancient senior officers rolling out of bed... ;)

[Background Noise]

Are police looking for hardened criminals?

[NutLoose]

I hope when caught they receive a stiff sentence

[Trim Stab]

And some hard labour.

[Wander00]

Someone should get a stiff talking-to..................

[Rocket2]

PC Whitehat was reported as saying that "Anyone seen walking with a limp will not be classed as a suspect"

[Surplus]

My missus gives me half a Viagra a day, it's not for the sex, she's just fed up with me peeing on my slippers.

[John Botwood]

Slippers? SLIPPERS??

Looxurry! we dreamed of slippers'. All us 'ad were cardboard cutouts.

[cuefaye]

Sounds like a c*ck-up to me ---

[Roadster280]

Well it should at least help the budget pressures in Marham.

They won't be so hard up :}

[Fareastdriver]

I always put some in my tea. It stops the biscuits from going soggy.

[500N]

The Police will have to rise to the occasion to catch these crims.

[Surplus]

The trick with Viagra is to swallow it quickly, otherwise you get a stiff neck.

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Get the whole Station on parade - see if anyone stands out....

[Surplus]

Cardboard? - get you with your Laady-Daah ways.

[500N]

Yes, see who is standing to attention all of the time !

[Surplus]

Apparently the police have some firm leads.

[BBK]

Thought you mil aviators could keep it up.:E

[500N]

Hopefully they won't withdraw before finding any stiffs !

[racedo]

Typical.............£7 million worth of kit gone but Plod only worried about the Viagra, what kind of floppy :mad: are they.

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

The detectives on the case suspect an inside job - they're looking for woodentops.

[KPax]

Should look for JO who has a 'stiff upper lip'

[racedo]

Why do RAF need Viagra ?

Are Fly Boys no longer able to get up into the air ?

[onetrack]

This news has probably already aroused more than the interest of a bunch of local criminals! :)

[Stitchbitch]

racedo, it's so they can rise above the rest..:E

[charliegolf]

"I don't see 'em Ice, but they must be close, I'm getting a h... oh, wait a minute!"

[B Fraser]

Was it another "blue on blue" episode ? ;)

[NutLoose]

It brings a new meaning to

Per Ardua ad Astra

[NutLoose]

I hear they are now coming up short on ideas

[goudie]

Not much 'up, up and (having it ) away' going on now, I fancy.

How times have changed,. In days of yore we were given bromide, now it's Viagra!

[Pontius Navigator]

As long as the SWO doesn't find sh1t on the end of his stick.

[SASless]

FJ Pilots are not what they used to be are they?

[The Helpful Stacker]

Assuming it was the non-proprietary Sildenafil that was stolen rather than the actual name-brand Viagra at a maxinum of £3.10 for a pack of 8 (rather than £46.99 for 8 Viagra) that is a hell of an impotence problem they are stocking for! By my calculations that is a little under 15,000 little blue pills they had in stock!

I know Norfolk women can be a bit ropey but come on!

En passant, may I congratulate all the foregoing contributors for the Wittiest, Punniest, Funniest Posts of the year !

[PURPLE PITOT]

Following a lead, police recovered a dog.

[langleybaston]

would the thieves get r emission for good behaviour?

[Shack37]

PURPLE PITOT

I think you should confess, don't make it hard for yourself.

[racedo]

They would get Hard Time probably................

[ShyTorque]

Helpful Stacker, so why such an interest in knowledge of the price? :p

[racedo]

Shy

Wondered about that, but thought best not to ask, he many not be able to get up for the challenge.

Remarkably well informed there THS and using BNF as a cover just goes to prove it. Not hard up are we? :E

[gr4techie]

Are the local swamp dwelling women around Marham so ugly / inbred that £5800 worth of Viagra is needed ?

[The Helpful Stacker]

Helpful Stacker, so why such an interest in knowledge of the price?

No problems myself (blood pressure, altitude sickness or otherwise!) but being a nurse its information that is far from difficult to round up*.

Of course the really interesting thing is not what some guys use to get themselves up but what they turn up at ED with them stuck in!



*(On tea break and have the BNF app on my phone)

[goudie]

The RAF states that Viagra has other medical uses, such as treating low blood pressure and altitude sickness.

Yeah, right!:rolleyes:

[ShyTorque]

I had no idea the blue pills were so expensive. Surely for that price you could just buy a prettier woman?

[Madbob]

Q. Have you heard about the guy who had a Viagra tablet stuck in his throat?
A. Apparently he had a stiff neck for a week!:ok:

Does not help in the dark, does it.

[500N]

Well turn the light on then ;) :O


Or have the RAF at Marham become so used to ugly women that
doing it in the dark is now natural !

[ShyTorque]

As Ken Dodd advised the wives... Don't be too quick getting undressed in the bathroom on a Saturday night and don't ever take their husband by surprise..... Allow him time to think of someone he fancies.

[Fareastdriver]

In Norfolk nudity is the best form of birth contol going.

[Trim Stab]

On a more serious and genuine note - why did Marham have such huge stocks of viagra? It is true that viagra has some "other" medical uses, but these are mostly only relevant for a minority of fairly degenerate members of society and not really relevant to the small number of supposedly fit (adjective used generously for RAF) service people based at Marham. So why such large stocks? It would be surprising even if a large NHS hospital needed to stock so much viagra.

Yes!! :oh:

[TheWizard]

An RAF Police spokesman said that that their 'suspicions' were aroused but they couldn't point the 'finger' at anyone in particular.

On the serious side (boring I know) but was nobody slightly concerned by equipment from nuclear submarines, being stolen?! :uhoh:

Can anyone just wander around one and help themselves these days? If you can nick stuff, you can plant stuff!! :eek:

[Pontius Navigator]

Don't forget only half the aircrew get issue with a pole; think of the backenders.

[Pontius Navigator]

Imagine the headlines:

£5,800 Viagra planted in RN Submarine. Bring a whole new meaning to 'Up Periscope'.

[NutLoose]

I bet there are some wives moaning on the Marham married patch tonight, and it won't be sexual..

[Tengah Type]

Also has other medical uses such as treating Altitude Sickness --- at Marham??

[onetrack]

I'll wager more than one person is going to get thoroughly boned over this. :)

[Hydromet]

I know Norfolk women can be a bit ropey but come on!
I thought Norfolk women were those who would neither drink nor smoke nor...

[racedo]

Also has other medical uses such as treating Altitude Sickness --- at Marham??

They promising heaven so need Altitude sickness help.

[NutLoose]

Well the RAF Marham station badge Motto is "Deter" someone obviously took it literally.

[racedo]

Need to change the motto to a big smile..................

[air pig]

As non proprietary Sildenifil (Viagra) is £5 for a pack of four 100 mg tablets, why does Marham need 1300 boxes of drug.

Maybe the SWO thought that the brace up when standing at ease needed a little more 'stiffening'.

[NutLoose]

Perhaps they were to be taken along with your NAPS tablets to counteract the EMP effect, after all you harden all the electronics against it :E



Wouldn't they have a sell by your date?

[SASless]

It could turn into a real cock up!

[NutLoose]

I believe the RAFP have only pricked the surface of what could potentially escalate into a large problem.

I have also heard the Royal Navy are looking at sending some of their keenest men over to help the RAF out by getting on top of the problem for them, as they have a vast amount of experience in overcoming insurmountable objects.




..

[sittingstress]

It means they are guaranteed to "go up diddly up up" and of course still remain gits :)

[CoffmanStarter]

SS ... The said pills could of course help straighten out a few bananas for the Rocks :} :ok:

[goudie]

Breaking news. A suspect has been arrested, after he was overheard in a pub
saying, he was constantly hard up.

[Soab]

They wont be hard to find.

[sunnybunny]

People should read the original article

and £5,800 of anti-impotence Viagra pills and other medical supplies from RAF Marham

There, that wasn't hard was it? :)

[NutLoose]

ooohh Condoms as well? :p

[L J R]

Condoms and Viagra in Norfolk......I've just lost the desire for lunch!

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

I remember a five-week Mediterranean det. on the F3 where somebody ordered the full squadron's condom allowance - huge boxes of the things!
Anyone would have though we were going to be based right next to a large RAF Hospital full of randy nurses and,...................we were :E

[AdrianShaftsworthy]

Time for bed said Zebedee......BOING!!!!! :E
