Oohh! the 'huggie/fluffies' will go apoplectic over allowing kids to play with 'warry-like' things... which brings me neatly to this:
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General, General Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? The radio went silent and the interview ended... |
The radio went silent ... One of my favourites! Iranian Air Defense Radar: “Unknown aircraft, you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.” Pilot: “This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.” Air Defense Radar: “You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!” Pilot: “This is a United States Marine Corps F/A-18 fighter. Send ’em up, I’ll wait!” Air Defense Radar: (no response . . . total silence) http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...ar/34287_1.jpg http://fertigmodelle.ch/standmodelle...34287_4_90.jpg PS. There you go Sitigeltfel - a smaller picture...:ok: |
If you're planning on buying an RAF 'action' figure today, best be quick - it's POETSday, and they'll be flying out the door by lunchtime.
BTW, highly detailed, that doll, complete with three left hands, but I'm wondering what the chain of clear plastic beads would be used for? |
Louise...Louise...Louise
Is she representative of her majesties females in arms...or do they mostly look like Susan Boyle? |
Glad Rag, no, I think you're right.
Could have been in a similar situation. "Do you want publicity? Yes/No - no pressure like." "No." "If you say No then you won't go on the New Zealand trip." B*st*rds get you every way. |
A Tory MP has complained that the the current figures are all male and white. An MOD spokesman said there were plans for a Gurkha, but buyers would have to send it back to Nepal.

What about an RAF Policemen interacting with his dog. |
Can the hierarchy please resize Leons picture post?
Thanks. |

Certainly not .... I spat my brew all over it!

The money is going back in to PR activities? Surely if they sell enough we'll be able to afford a few JSFs....
|
Do they have a voice box ?
Do they say things like "Bo##ocks" when you push the button ? |
Think the Harrier is a little short of range in that configuration. Johnny won't be able to fly it out of the garden.

I see the sales really hit the ground running.
Google - every newspaper link going. Toy sites? Not a trace. PR Gurus hit success right off again. |

I wonder if there will be a "Scottish One-eyed Idiot" version of this? :E |
Well done Leon. Here we go....:rolleyes:

Is that a pair of BL755 cluster bombs on the the action-man size Harrier? I thought they were banned recently. Can't wait for the headlines "MOD sponsors war-crime toys!":hmm:

The Convention on Cluster Munitions, CCM, prohibits all use, stockpiling, production and transfer of Cluster Munitions. Separate articles in the Convention concern assistance to victims, clearance of contaminated areas and destruction of stockpiles. The Convention was adopted in Dublin by 107 states on 30 May 2008 and signed on 3 December the same year. The Convention enters into force six months after the 30th state has submitted its instrument of ratification, and is open for ratifications and signature at the United Nations headquarters in New York |
