Somebody's tired!
:ooh:

Reckon he was just winding the kids up, not being an arse.

Wind up......

A soldier life is terribly hard...says Alice.

I'm afraid that I don't see the problem.

It's the Summer Olympics we are hosting though. Look at the trees in the background and the kids' hats. That video was shot in winter, not the last ten days.

The kid's did look pretty sacred.

Thats because he put the fear of god into them ;)

I don't believe it; The sloppy marching and even sloppier dress; no way that guy is real!

NutLoose 9th Aug 2012 21:33

Yes he is Samual, but because we have so many troops covering the Olympics, they have had to call in G4S to cover some of the military shortfall. :O:p

Samuel 9th Aug 2012 21:43

Nah, don't believe it mate! The exaggerated arm swinging, and that rifle drill is way off. A posed situation if ever there was one! That greatcoat isn't his either!

stumpey 9th Aug 2012 22:12

Nope, don't work. All I get is the little swirly thing.
Anyway should have just shot the little scrote, now that would have been worth watching!

NutLoose 9th Aug 2012 22:18

We are strapped for cash these days, it's one greatcoat to 5 troops, and each one gets issued with 5 rounds and a rifle between them... someone at the MOD had seen Enemy at the Gate apparently and thought it an ideal way to save money. :E

Bayoneted then hung from the spikes on the fence behind
as a warning to others.


I do think it may be a spoof video because of the over
exaggeration of the drill movements.

I did drill with an SLR, I know the SA80 is difficult. Didn't look that sloppy to me. You used to have to say "Stand Away" in a very loud voice if they became too annoying.

Samuel 10th Aug 2012 07:22

The shoulder arms with an SA80 does not involve all that rifle slapping. The guy is a fake!

Another video that came up to watch in the same web page was 'super excited baby goat' which was much better IMHO. :)

Luxury! My dad did his national service in Singapore in 1947/8 i.e. during the Malayan Emergency. He always told me that their, unfenced, platoon sleeping accommodation was guarded by one small terrier dog. The nearby, fenced, stores hut was guarded by armed Ghurkas of whom he always spoke ith the greatest respect.
