N.I early 70's young RSDG Tpr walking his ladyfriend round the castle grounds, had been "lent" a BHP and given about 30 seconds instruction. Sitting on a park bench showing the lady how it works, cocks the thing, safety off, thumb on the hammer, squeeze the trigger, thumb slips off the hammer, you could have poked a pencil through the hole that suddenly appeared in his calf muscle.

2. You're a long time dead.Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
"If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny pissflap to your heart's content."
Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."

I was on the gate in Bordon at the time they first armed the civvy watchmen. We had all been warned that they were now armed and that jumping the fence into the trade training area, which they guarded, was no longer a good idea. A few jokes were cracked about the crusty watchmen and women and who would be the first to shoot himself in the foot.
Well we didn't have long to wait, at about 10 at night a shot rang out, the female dog handler, unloading after her patrol, had completely fucked it up. Sadly the big smoking hole wasn't in the sand filled unloading bay, it was in her dog, which died on the spot!
