Have a word with Nobby Sapper. He's the resident expert on RE's putting bridges over holes. Originally Posted by imawalt Cave ne sit taurus feces.

Engineers don't go anywhere near any sort of contact, only operating where the enemy aren't. If there's any sort of danger involved then it's a point blank refusal to work and do their job. That's the reason that white is worn, as a sign of cowardice.
Oh sorry, wrong corps, that's the Artillery bag. I'd join them if I were you.Last edited by Swamped; 27-04-2012 at 12:35.

Likewise, there is no human problem that cannot be solved by the correct application of the appropriate quantity of high explosive, the suitable quantity being derived by the Formula P, where P = "plenty"
Nobody ever imagined a bunch of Orcs would steal a database table...

thank god I was a combat engineer and tanky. I didn't join the army just to have strangers shoot and me or try to maim me . I could have stayed in London for that .
Mind you I should have noticed that The Corps of Royal Engineers doesn't have battles Honours , just the word UBiQUE.A sapper with an idea is like a monkey with a hand grenade

To the hole with this one I think....
CThe ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
