The British Army displays the worlds first multi axis tank simulator... A cutting edge use of manpower and technology.

Pte Scroggins thought everyone was laughing at the inflatable tank.... when in fact they were all laughing at the fact he'd stuck one end of the loo roll into his pants on his way back from the gents...

Pvt Scroggins trailed the completed portion of the Pre-Move Checklist that had been modified by an Exchange RAF HSE Officer only to have it confused with Bog Roll which he really could wipe his arse with!

30 seconds after this shot was taken, the SWO regretted telling the chaps to "pop it over there"

Agreed it was hinted at pages ago, but appears to be falling on deaf ears.

The Army's attempt to emulate the RN's gun carriage race lacked the impact of the original.

Weighs less than 2 kg, fits into a medium-sized rucksack and can be inflated by a paratrooper in less than 30 hours.

Now, remember when I said we needed to blow up some balloons for the party. Right, well does that not imply that the Helium Tank I was after was not this?

"I know we have checked already, but one more look under here for AndyTug won't hurt, someone did hear him say he was off for a tank and might be a while"

Apologies chaps - between a day away and car issues I'm a bit late...

However, the standard was again high, so I'm going to ignore the obvious puns and go with the left field ones.

Honoroable Mentions for:

TRaffic_Is_ER_was with "Yes, carrying an inflatable tank into battle was embarrassing, but it could be worse. You could be doing it with the end of the toilet roll still tucked into your trousers."

Wensleydale's "The Army's attempt to emulate the RN's gun carriage race lacked the impact of the original."

But the winner this time round, Kitrash with "When we get this tied off at 6000ft ain't half gonna surprise the focker" (conjures up a lovely mental image).
