Senior officers fitness test announced.

It seems it's being trialled first, by Group Captains.

Yeah, she sent me a copy of the video a few days ago. It looked a bit painful, but the burns didn't look too bad.

Clearly she doesn't have BEagle's mobile number

Making a huge assumption there that BEagle has one of those new yoof-tech-things such as a mobile. Carrier pigeon perhaps

As this is a relatively delicate subject, should we not tread very carefully.

I'm just saying its truth, the whole truth and nothing but the naked truth

Cheers

Someone needs to explain what mufti actually means..

Still it brings a new meaning to exercising in ones mufti.

Of course I would volunteer to kiss anything better, which might need such treatment? Having only met Carol once, she was an utterly delightful person with whom to chat!

How very dare you! I've had cellphones since getting back from Gulf War 1, I'll have you know. Panasonic 'E' series in the car back in analogue days, then a Nokia 2110, followed by a couple of Motorola Timeports ( ) and ultimately a Nokia 6310i - which has served me well for the past 13 years!

But I don't own a 'smartphone' or any iToy.....

It was quite amusing in the early days of GSM. Land somewhere downroute and call Ar$ecoat Ops direct, rather than faffing with "Artichoke, Aaaaargh-ti-choke.....". Several trails were also sorted through lending my spivphone to the AARC, so that he could call direct rather than getting snarled up in some obscure, barely functioning military phone system.....

Anyway, back to thoughts of soothing Carol's bruises....

And here was I thinking your idea of a mobile was plugging the VC10's phone in on different pans.

Naked senior officer fitness tests with Vorders - I'm in!

Just make sure the gym is heated, wouldn't want to embarass myself if it's too chilly...

BEags, you are relieved of nursie kiss-it-better duty!

Why would you want to get rid of it?

You must really be a deviant if you fancy watching BEagle kissing Leon better!

Ooops. I thought ATC was talking about the sight of Miss Vorderman doing her fitness thing. Must get down to specsavers.

Is it not a touch retentive to be able to recall name rank and number of old phones?
Or am I just jealous of the ability?
As for skippynudy exercise the wobbly bits usually demand some form of control to avoid runaway amplification. So I am told.

One is inevitably reminded of a theatre critic's words commenting on naked dancing in "Hair" or "Oh Calcutta" or similar.

The problem is: when the music stops, not everything else does!

You would have thought she would have taken some precautions, she could have put the rhag up to prevent her overshooting
