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

By my calculations that is a little under 15,000 little blue pills they had in stock!

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

Talking

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

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!

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

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

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!

Well turn the light on then


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

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.

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.

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?!

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

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

Imagine the headlines:

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