The MO always needed assistance to remove the helmets from the heads of overswelled egos but this one was proving a bugger to remove

Keep 'em coming folks. Perhaps some happy-hour lubrication tonight will elicit a few more entries. I believe Sunday night is the traditional closing date / time, so I'll name the winner then.

TO'G - humble apologies for usurping your position.

After being told to 'Wind his neck in', Bloggs took the advice literally and went off to see the squippers, who were more than happy to oblige.....

It was an old jape to pull a pair of Matron's bloomers over the head of a sleeping pilot. Old, but still eminently satisfying...

...and guaranteed to raise more of a chuckle than this lame caption

OK, ENDEX. AOC's Commendations to:

Mike Jenvey for
Officer Cadet Bloggs had been under the impression that the brain-removal prior to commissioning was a much more complicated affair......
and Lafyar Cokov for
The first full sized Action Man's Eagle Eyes were a bugger to open - just when the technician thought he had the end of the bungee, it would spring out of the grip of his pliers...
But top prize goes to Go Smoke for:


'As if trashing the undercarriage wasn't embarrassing enough the final ingominy had to be having the nav's teeth pulled out of his helmet.'
Next please, Go Smoke, or do you want to invite Toxteth O'Grady to step up?

Thanks An Teallach,
I had a really good laugh over that last one - all the entries were top drawer.

I think it is only fitting that Toxteth O'Grady should submit the next picture and am looking forward to it.

Step up Toxteth

Best Regards,
GS.

The unit's engineering staff were always known to be a cheeky lot and it was not all that uncommon they would show their behinds. It was always thought that if things could be brought to an even keel....it would be all smiles!

The cheapest tender for work clothing came from a builders' merchant in Essex.

Five cracks were immediately apparent on the starboard side of the airframe.

When asked how good the new LITS system was, the engineers decided a visual description would be best.

The ships Captain was extremely concerned as the picture accompanying the April 2005 page of the Royal Naval calender had led to a huge increased demand on the ward room tissue supply

The builders looked hard for the rotary fire bell - not realising that some joker had stuck it on the tail!!!
