Portering Pachyderms
Quote of the moment:
Hup two three four
Keep it up two three four
Hup two three four
Keep it up two three four
Company sound off!
Ho, the aim of our patrol
Is a question rather droll
For to march and drill
Over field and hill
Is a military goal!
Is a military goal!
Hup two three four
Dress it up two three four
Hup two three four
Dress it up two three four
By the ranks or single file
Over every jungle mile
Oh we stamp and crush
Through the underbrush
In a military style!
In a military style!
Hup two three four
Keep it up two three four
(Reprise)
Oh, we march from here to there
And it doesn't matter where
You can hear us push
Through the deepest bush
With a military air!
With a military air!
We're a cracker jack brigade
On a pachyderm parade
But we'd rather stroll to a water hole
For a furlough in the shade!
For a furlough in the shade!

Given that I'm going to need to sing with the kiddiwinks as we walk out to the camping area, I thought I should learn that.
Last night I managed 50 situps in (the standard Army test time of) 2 minutes. Given that the requirement is 40, that's cause for a hurrah! This was achieved while watching Basil The Great Mouse Detective. Heard of it? Probably not, yet it is a Disney film, just a niche, cultish six-year-old-film-buffs-only one. Perhaps it was the start of my geek aspirations spotting the Dumbo toy in the toyshop scene.
Today I went on an extended dog walk with my dear mother, carrying a rucksack packed with 3 sleeping bags. An easy start to get me into the habit of it: both good for me and good practise for probably having to carry everything for the kiddies on the way to the campsite. Hurrah! Cue Prill style hyper moment: I CAN'T WAIT to go to America... It's going to be SO COOL. Ummm... tea... TEAAA!
[Would fetch tea if it wasn't disgusting filth]
I'm back. HEHEHE! I'm SO excited!
Yeah... back to cynical Will. For your delight and mockery I got an extra set of uniform and brought it home so I could take a piccy:
Look at the meat on those forearms. It would be pretty obvious who to eat in the event of a plane crash in the Andes!
