    Life is becoming too serious

    Good afternoon Ladies. You will have to indulge me as I have found some very funny material which I would like to share with you.
    Conversation overheard between a section Commander and a Caporal at Castel : right the type of legionnaire we're looking for is an aggressive druken lout with the intellegence of a four year old and the sexual sophistication of a donkey.

    Overheard in the foyer in Calvi : It is said that civilised man seeks out good and intelligent company so that through learned discourse he may rise above the savage and feel closer to God. Personally I like to start my day with a total dickhead to remind me I'm best.

    Welcoming address by the colonel to new recruits before going to the farm : Good morning team my name is Colonel ........ and I'm the new minister in charge of reglious genoside. Now if you play fair by me you will find me a considerate employer, but cross me and you will find under this boyish playfull exterior, beats the heart of a rutless sadistic manic.

    And last but by no means least. Heard from a recruit when signing his first contract : alright I accept. A man may fight for many things, his family, friends, the tear on the check of a child. But personally I would mud wrestle my own mother for an amusing clock. A ton of cash and a stack of French Porn, Your On.

    Now I know a lot of the quotes came from Blackadder, I would like to ask what is your favourite comedy series and how could you interept into Legion Life,

    dads army . can watch it again and again . I know its not exactly side splittingly hilarious but it kinda makes me feel good .
    So does 'on the buses ' but purely for a nostalgic point of view . I think we have all met 'Inspector' types for real .

    if Blackadder is your fave , then which series ? I like Blackadder 3 myself .

    It means Baldrick that General Hague is about to make another gargantuan effort to move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin...

    Edmund:
    Right, Baldrick, let's try again, shall we? This is called adding. If I have two beans, & then I add two more beans, what do I have?

    Baldrick:
    Some beans.

    Edmund:
    Yes...& no. Let's try again, shall we? I have two beans, then I add two more beans. What does that make?

    Baldrick:
    A very small casserole.

    Edmund:
    Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this. Now try again. One, two, three, four. So how many are there?

    Baldrick:
    Three.

    Edmund:
    What?

    Baldrick:
    And that one.

    Edmund:
    Three...& that one. So if I add that one to the three, what will I have?

    Baldrick:
    Some beans.

    Edmund:
    Yes. To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was something that just happened to other people, wasn't it?

    Melchett Now, George. Do you remember when I came down to visit you when you were a nipper for your sixth birthday? You used to have a lovely little rabbit. Beautiful little thing. Do you remember?

    George Flossy.
    Melchett That's right. Flossy. Do you remember what happened to Flossy?

    George you shot him.

    Melchett that's right. It was the kindest thing to do after he'd been run over by that car.

    George by your car, Sir.

    Melchett yes, by my car. But that too was an act of mercy when you would remember that that dog had been set on him.

    George Your dog, Sir.

    Melchett Yes, yes, my dog. But what I'm trying to say, George, is that the state young Flossy was in after we'd scraped him off my front tyre is very much the state that young Blackadder will be in now. If not very nearly dead, then very actually dead.

    George Permission for lip to wobble, Sir?

    Melchett Permission granted.

    [George's lips wobble.]

    Melchett Stout fellow.

    George But surely, Sir, you must allow me to at least try and save him.

    Melchett No, George. It would be as pointless as trying to teach a woman the value of a good, forward defensive stroke. Besides, it would take a superman to get him out of there, not the kind of weed who blubs just because somebody gives him a slice of rabbit pie instead of birthday cake.

    No we had an ex SBS guy on a fishing boat as it got raided by his old mates and customs, "hello pete, what you doin here, er alright fellas i was just er... er "
    Ken Lukowiak was 2 para in Falklands and the year after he was i/c postroom at airport camp Belize when he got to thinking hmm what can i post back to the pads? Best bit is where he accidently gets his c/sgt wrecked then watches in fear as the colour man talks to the monkeys in the trees for ages.

    He wasn't ex SB he was ex LC rate which is totally different. He was with at least one ex para on the boat . They were apprehended by the SBS in international waters which is why they got away with it. He comes from Clevedon where his parents run a pub and spent some time in horefiled prison whilst waiting trial. He also was assited by a serving marine who was also an LC rate attached to SB. He was discharged from the corps .

    I was in Guzz this weekend , went to Turnchapel to see an old oppo in 539 (ex)
    There were some very fresh faced young looking green lids cutting about .
    which cdo were you in ?
    My last draft was stonehouse in the early 80's .
    Happy memories of runs ashore in Onion Strasse playing 'pass the matloet ' before heading off to Cascades night club (RM school of dancing ).

    yeah it seemed to go out of fashion , mainly just three badgers and ncos these days, a few of our guys would snip open their ballbags(**** knows why) and stick a mcdonalds straw in and blow them up for whole restaurant to see. young royals with unfeasibly large testicles really puts you off your chicken nuggets and the duty MA is never impressed when you emerge from a taxi with blood soaked paper towels for a couple of stitches and a chad explanation how you did it
