Written on a toilet wall
"I hate Graffiti"
Some one had written underneath- "I hate all Italian food"

We had a chap we called Brad - because he was a small boring tool.

One of our bosses was a guy called Malcolm Hunt - this was quite a while before the American Pie films. - Yes you guessed. If he was out in the main office and his phone rang.... Telephone call for Mal....

On the MODSAP team in Riyadh in 1990, one of the branch officers was named
Mike Hunt. I don't know how he ever forgave his parents.....

We had a new young bloke come into our unit..
His surname was Paatz.
Well, of course, his rank was .. Private.
True!

In the Officers' Mess main toilet at RAF Finningley, where there was a gap between the bottom of the loo door and the floor, somebody has scratched: 'Beware limbo Dancers'.

ahhh Freddie Trueman . . . .

That great man of the game FST of Yorkshire said of a visit to play in India that not even bowels of concrete could slow the passage of the food on offer. . One of his memorable stories (and he had a million of them)
concerned the English bowler Alf Gover . In India in I think 1948 with the Honourable Lionel Tennyson his captain .
India won the toss and batted. Gover opened the bowling,. As FS told it Gover paced his run up and declared it good. Turning he started his long run in arms and legs going like pistons .. . he passed his crease increasing speed down the pitch past the startled batsman on strike. He brushed aside third man and dodged two more leaving the field to enter the pavilion still at a cracking pace . . . After a minute or two the captain decided to see what had happened to Gover. He goes into the dressing room . . Gover. .. . where are you Gover? I'm in the ****house sir. What are you doing in there Gover? I've shat my pants sir. . . . Oh thats a pity Gover. Could we have the ball back now .. we want to get on with the game.

Another one ..
I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

Another toilet wall one.

The person it refers to was a rugby playing Foreman.

Someone wrote "Boris walks on water" in red. Some wag wrote "Ha ha, the bastrad sank" in green underneath.

Haven’t laughed so much in ages ! Brilliant, gentlemen - keep it going.

How to motivate a difficult OS student ? 240 volts or a banana………

Just sayin’……….. :oh:

Bog Wall.

I am considering flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality, would I be flogging a dead horse?

622 - it was Robert Key to Adam Gilchrist and he didn't say "make love"!
I'm pretty sure it was Eddo Brandes to Glenn McGrath.

According to a popular brand of search engine the above is correct !


...and reminded me of another one:


Rod Marsh : “So how’s your wife & my kids?”
Ian Botham : “The wife is fine but the kids are retarded”

Of course I'll still love you in the morning..................

Don't carry the rifle (SLR) by the carrying handle!

Stanwell 8th Jul 2016 05:48

Good one.
Very thoughtful of them to add a 'carrying handle' - but I don't recall us ever really using it.

My favourite from an Aussie exchange engineer, " I had a hard on so big I didn't have the skin left to blink".

And another from nerd school:

There are only 10 types of people in the world; those that understand binary and those that don't.

Thanks to Ted Gibson ex-WW2 bomber nav on 48 Sqn

Wow, I worked with a Flt Lt Ted Gibson in Air Support Command Ops RAF Upavon 1971/72.
He was a supreme dispatcher of the frothy stuff and a serial cigarette poacher. He could be a bit prickly until he got to know you.

Getting back to the OP:
"I was in uniform when you were in liquid form!"

Should have reminded one of my Cathay instructors of that - perhaps not :)

You spend the first few minutes of your life trying to get out and the whole of the rest of it trying to get back in.
