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

Shy

Wondered about that, but thought best not to ask, he many not be able to get up for the challenge.

By my calculations that is a little under 15,000 little blue pills they had in stock!
(All prices taken from Jan 14 BNF)

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

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!:rolleyes:

ShyTorque 21st Jan 2014 15:32

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

Madbob 21st Jan 2014 15:52

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!:ok:

Does not help in the dark, does it.

500N 21st Jan 2014 16:31

Well turn the light on then ;) :O


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

ShyTorque 21st Jan 2014 17:11

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.

In Norfolk nudity is the best form of birth contol going.

Trim Stab 21st Jan 2014 18:08

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.

Yes!! :oh:

TheWizard 21st Jan 2014 19:16

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?! :uhoh:

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

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'.

NutLoose 21st Jan 2014 19:39

I bet there are some wives moaning on the Marham married patch tonight, and it won't be sexual..

Tengah Type 21st Jan 2014 20:48

Also has other medical uses such as treating Altitude Sickness --- at Marham??

onetrack 21st Jan 2014 20:56

I'll wager more than one person is going to get thoroughly boned over this. :)

Hydromet 21st Jan 2014 21:00


I know Norfolk women can be a bit ropey but come on!
I thought Norfolk women were those who would neither drink nor smoke nor...

They promising heaven so need Altitude sickness help.

NutLoose 21st Jan 2014 21:27

Well the RAF Marham station badge Motto is "Deter" someone obviously took it literally.

racedo 21st Jan 2014 21:49

Need to change the motto to a big smile..................

air pig 21st Jan 2014 21:56

As non proprietary Sildenifil (Viagra) is £5 for a pack of four 100 mg tablets, why does Marham need 1300 boxes of drug.

Maybe the SWO thought that the brace up when standing at ease needed a little more 'stiffening'.

NutLoose 22nd Jan 2014 00:16

Perhaps they were to be taken along with your NAPS tablets to counteract the EMP effect, after all you harden all the electronics against it :E



Wouldn't they have a sell by your date?

SASless 22nd Jan 2014 01:49

It could turn into a real cock up!

NutLoose 22nd Jan 2014 01:56

I believe the RAFP have only pricked the surface of what could potentially escalate into a large problem.

I have also heard the Royal Navy are looking at sending some of their keenest men over to help the RAF out by getting on top of the problem for them, as they have a vast amount of experience in overcoming insurmountable objects.

It means they are guaranteed to "go up diddly up up" and of course still remain gits :)

CoffmanStarter 22nd Jan 2014 10:37

SS ... The said pills could of course help straighten out a few bananas for the Rocks :} :ok:

goudie 22nd Jan 2014 10:41

Breaking news. A suspect has been arrested, after he was overheard in a pub
saying, he was constantly hard up.

Soab 23rd Jan 2014 06:09

They wont be hard to find.

sunnybunny 23rd Jan 2014 06:52

People should read the original article

and £5,800 of anti-impotence Viagra pills and other medical supplies from RAF Marham

There, that wasn't hard was it? :)

NutLoose 23rd Jan 2014 08:50

ooohh Condoms as well? :p

L J R 23rd Jan 2014 09:23

Condoms and Viagra in Norfolk......I've just lost the desire for lunch!

Fox3WheresMyBanana 23rd Jan 2014 10:08

I remember a five-week Mediterranean det. on the F3 where somebody ordered the full squadron's condom allowance - huge boxes of the things!
Anyone would have though we were going to be based right next to a large RAF Hospital full of randy nurses and,...................we were :E

AdrianShaftsworthy 23rd Jan 2014 17:47

Time for bed said Zebedee......BOING!!!!! :E
