15 ton "Big blu"
If you want my opinion for all it's worth, I'm more inclined to believe that the Americans have trained up a double of one of Ach Ma Dinner Jacket's aids. Once he gets into a prominent position, he'll do for the Iranian Honcho with a lethal Vulcan death grip! Just like Mr Spoc!
After he's done the deed, he'll escape down the Presidential Toilet u-bend, crawl through the Tehran sewers and emerge at a pre-determined Rendezvous point. Here an SAS crew will be waiting to drench him down with a high-pressure hose, and then he'll be picked up together with the SAS guys by an R.A.F. Chinook. This'll spirit our heroic bods away to an R.N. Frigate waiting in the Persian Gulf, providing the Iranian Navy haven't, in he meantime, impounded the damn thing. From here it'll be off back to blighty or state side or whatever to regail the Western Press with the whole story about how Anglo-American co-operation saved the world from another bad bugger.
What does anyone else think?

Hi Caz,
I'm sure the average Tehran sewer is not particularly pleasant to go for swim/paddle through. However, I' sure our Uncla Sam's man in Tehran wil be trained to cope by the CIA/Yank Special forces and all. Anyway, its because of his likely state that I very much imagine the SAS guys will fetch up with the old Garden Hose! I mean... they're a pretty hard as nails bunch, I know, but I bet the toughest of even them's stomach would flip one or twice if placed in close proximity for any length of time to some bod who's just been for a dip in the afore mentioned.

Is one of our bombs missing tonight, reports of a big bang in Isfahan, various descriptions of blast size from a firework to a window rattler.

The "request for a campaign / op medal" seems to be missing from the end of your description - or does that come 50 years later ?
I'll get my coat.

500N,
I know a thing or two about this, and it'd be all very hush hush!
Believe me, ...erm, the chaps would probably get something in lieu of a public gong.. A night out with a tart or something.

Nope....but did stay in a hotel in Ahwaz with the ol' vented sewer running middle of the hallway that had the rooms off to each side. I can imagine it is much the same as any Jube in Tehran. Matter of fact....Tehran Jubes were not all that obnoxious....but that was in the time of the Shah when things were a bit more Westernized.

I'll take that bet if you want to offer it to someone else as well except with a different reward.
Re " Immediately after receiving a nuclear strike Israel could not launch a counter attack - end of story."
That is a big assumption and I would say you are wrong. Israel will retaliate even if it is a Nuclear bomb. Iran won't be able to wipe out all of Israel in one go.

The inane ramblings of SAM Man are more like an amalgam of rejected plots from the less lucid moments of Tom Clancy, Freddy Forsyth, Nelson DeMille and Andy theNab. But not quite as entertaining.
I'm in for a slice of the wager too, if the offer is still on the table (little does he realise that if I stop posting as HTB I can always come back with a different name...doh!).
As he said in an earlier post "The ramblings of a mad Englishman..."; although he forgot to mention the bigoted fantasist elements of those ramblings.
Where did he get the large knife, where did his pal get to, was the "large black man" not armed?
Keep it coming SAM, we all need a bit of light relief during the darkling days of Winter.

I'm wondering if SAM means "Armageddon" instead of just a measly "apocalypse". I note that he missed out India invading/nukeing Pakistan, or vice versa.
Courtney, where you a young Fg Off visiting Akrotiri in the mid 70s who devised a game that involved stopping the billiard room fan rotating by using the top of your head? Or was that a different Courtney?

HTB. Might have been slightly later than that, but, yes, it was I. The whole idea was to stop the fan in one hit. Hence lots of pictures of me with big gashes in my forehead. I only did it because it was incredibly mature and sensible!
I would think "armageddon".

Yes, I think Armageddon as well, these things have a tendency to escalate and everone wants to join in with their nuclear toys.
I'm a bit hazy on the time, but I remember the gory details. I think we had actually been having a game of something involving balls before your more inventive game - I recall my partner distracting you after you had chalked your cue so that I could de-chalk it with a wet thumb. I don't think it would have made a difference to any of our shots due to the intake of whatever was to hand at the time.
Anyway, we won't be able to do that sort of thing after Christmas because the world will have descended in nuclear winter following the raid on Iran...

"Lets see where we are in a few week's time then............
"
SAM, since you are so confident and now 2 other people have said they will take the bet (HTB and myself), how about "stepping up to the plate" and accepting the challenge ?
or did someone other than the large black man get his balls chopped off
with the "large knife".
OK, SAM, here is my bet for you. I'll look in the morning to see if you have accepted.
If I lose, I'll give 50 pounds to a service charity or two.
(in view of some people's views on H4H I'll to a quick ask around before deciding but more than likely a RAF orientated one since this is a RAF orientated forum).
