Re: RSVP Help!
Is he shoving you or what?
Rythm (strokes in and out evenly)
Speed (got to get it done quickly in case the adj walks in)
Volume (keep it down and don't squeal like a stuck pig)
Pitch (angle of entry)
I'd crawl over fifteen miles of redhot broken glass to smell the exhaust fumes of the laundry van that took her knickers away.

Re: RSVP Help!
Seeing as this question was also posted on the Signals board...
How about a quiz ?
LOPEP B ? ( I know what it's for, and I can't remember all of it )
BAPTISEME LPC? ( same as above )
CMADE ?"Is it a crime to hit a student across the back of the head with a snooker ball in a sock?"

E D L M H D GPMG Stoppage drillsYou see! This is why birds and CID don't mix.
You give a bloke a gun and he thinks its a dream come true
You give a girl one and she knows it doesn't go with a dress.
