Indiana Jones and the Medical on Saturday
Quote of the moment:
"You'd better leave before I accidentally call you fat."
- A drunk but well meaning Will manages to cause offence anyway. Funny that.
My elven eyes saw yesterday that my new room-next-door housemate, known to me, Jambo and James from last year as Van Helsing when we saw him in supper, actually deserves a more apt designation. As it was pissing down he was wearing his long Gestapo coat with his big Gestapo boots and his wide Gestapo hat, and looked just like this guy...
Awesome huh? I'm living next to the baddie from Raiders. He has the face, the round glasses and everything. He'd just need to trim the classic Games Workshop ponytail (he's still into his Warhammer). What a dude.
Talking of Raiders, Karen Allen as Marion is awesomely fit. Just thought you should know.
In other news, medical allowing I'm in the OTC. Had a bit of a mental first social on Tuesday, downed some strange custard cocktail, had a tug-of-war with a bit of wood (chain of three people on each team, holding the one in front and the front one holds the wood) which was a recipe for blisters when, instead of the normal few seconds of struggle, my round at the front lasted about 3 minutes of hardcore struggle until I got pulled over backwards by my team, flailed my feet in the air and kicked the other guy in the hand. We got the wood but were disqualified for bringing the game into disrepute. My bad.
Leaving on a coach tonight to go to Sennybridge training camp for induction weekend, involving lots of queueing, lots of kit issue, a fitness test and a medical. Hopefully I can convince the doctor that the form issued (last revised August 05) is out of date because ACL repairs are now fine. I had a letter from the Army Medical Board about it and everything. If only the letter hadn't disappeared into the strata of crap on last year's floor...

enjoy sennybridge... there are lots of hills and its very very very cold!!! COLD!!! oh and everywhere looks the same x x
So untrue. Some of the hills were grassy green. Some were (dead) brackeny brown. Also there were some sheep. And that was just the view from the camp, because we never left it. That delight is saved for... oh yes, my birthday weekend. Joyous...
