A real gem from Billy Connolly:

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

I'll get me tea cosy...

As bags are dumped in the hotel before the down route lash, ALWAYS pick up a book of hotel matches with address of said hotel printed on.
Then, when stumbling out of a random foreign club, taxi driver conversations are significantly easier.
PLUS, you'll be suprised how many Holiday Inns' some large cities have!!!

There are pies you have and there are pies you don't

Always leave your watch/alarm in zulu

Greens are for dying in not ironing

If it's not snowing we're not going

If it's not raining, it's not training

If you do ascribe to this practice, ensure your pockets are emptied of ALL other books of matches before you leave said hotel, especially those that hail from a neighbouring country. Some f**king BIG taxi fares have been run up that way.......

Three things never to take on an exotic detachment.

1. Conscience.
2. Camera.
3. Wedding Ring.

And, when in the shower, always wash your face before your ar$e!

Never assume......check.

And if you can't check, at least sound convincing when you start guessing.

When at war, everything essential to an exercise is meaningless, and everything meaningless on exercise is vital.

The aim of the RAF is to fly and fight

The role of those who don't is to support those who do.

You don't have to be a pilot to fly in the RAF - but it tends to be safer if you are.

Given to me by a CO on being commissioned from the ranks. Edited for tri-Service usage:

Before you went to [Dartmouth / Sandhurst / Cranwell] you knew that the [POs / Sgts] ran the [Navy / Army / Air Force].

Now you know that they don't.

However, it would be a fecking stupid officer who told the [POs / Sgts] that!
