Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis


Kind of related, When I was in Afghan, I cut my head in the stationery cupboard, so I took a picture and sent it to my Mrs saying that I had been shot at and it had skimmed my head, at the moment all communication was shut down due to Op Minimise. This is when there are serious injuries or deaths and all the lines of communication back home are shut off, to prevent any names from being leaked back home so the families could be notified correctly.

This Op Minimise was a big one which meant the lines were down for 2-3 days, and I had no way of explaining that I hadn't been shot or injured and that I had cut my head getting a stapler!

She was fuming.

If you'd been a Yank you'd have got a Purple Heart.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Just jealous because you found out that Ollie's Marine bullet scar is a real one !!

How many relatives did you scare with the hanging open phone at Camp Bastion with missiles coming in, though ???

I think you want to be on the Maidenhead away end thread. Ah hang on, no, that's a purple helmet.

To be fair to you I did say “yank”

I was babysitting my 2 young daughters many years ago whilst my wife was at work.  I know you can't babysit your own children but heh ho.

I bent down to fill the cat bowl and then stood up quickly (forgetting that the cupboard  was open above.  This had a sharp metal edge).  It cut my head, causing bleeding and swear words young girls should not hear. No photo available. I had to drive to A&E "escorted" by my daughters I was supposed to be looking after.  

The doctor asked them (not me) if I had been knocked out after the accident.  I hadn't.   They glued my head.  My wife was not amused.

....................................................................

Serving in the RAF in Germany late 1970s.  An airmen was distraught to get a telegram from home.    (A telegram is like a text but it takes days longer to arrive and sent by the Post Office).

The telegram talked about domestic trivia but was signed off with "MUM DEAD".  The airman thought that this some casual way of giving him very tragic news when he was serving abroad.

Investigations got to the bottom of it:   The telegram had been signed "Mum and Dad".  The Post Office had managed in their wisdom to corrupt this innocuous signing off wording into something terrible.
