Monkey hanger walt - anyone in the vicinity of the Heugh, the Banjo or Brenda Road is issued with 20 feet best manilla rope, monkey hanging for the use of - NOT blowpipes (because they would just think they were big No.6 or L & B's)

(I think blowpipes may have been issued in Seaton Carew though).

Wind your neck in little boy, and stop posting dull and uninteresting posts.

Everything you need to know will be roundly instilled into your tiny brain at a rapid rate of knots when/if you reach phase 1/2.

Jog on.

OK who leaked the SDR, obviously were importing sticks from China as they work out cheaper in Bulk but the infantry will still get bayonets.

Speaking of SDR, look at the damage a politician can do with when armed with nothing more than a pen.

Back in 1972, the No.1 on the 84 carried a pistol so that he could move faster. Then that changed about 1976ish to a SMG. By 1980 he had to carry a SLR like everyone else. So speed was not the aim; I think we sold all our pistols and SMGs to our future enemies, so we were just given what was left on the shelf. One day I'll sue them for making my arms stretch.

See what I did there.
