He was a mate, and when he was getting processed he went ballistic, screaming that he 'wasn't going to share a cell with a "raving pongo brown-hatter".
    Turned out he was standing beside a Lifeguard who had produced a few pairs of black seamed stockings (note : stockings, seamed, black) from his kit bag. Turned out that the LG's put the stockings over their kinky boots at night to preserve the shine, allegedly, so they say.

    Anyhoo, my legs are so short I'd have to turn the things down at the thig-end ('thig' is not a typo. I remember it from one of those porn .books produced by the Chinese laundry staff on the Albion. Full quote if requested and permitted). AND you couldn't get them in my size. Allegedly (my ex told me that, honest). You can now. So I've been told.
    Stip, stip, she crid (an excerpt from the same book I think?) Go over to Diamond lils section most things get through over there

    Jeez , it's like a NAAFI queue buzz gone viral.
    Good to see that potential Royals can flap as well as potential Matelots at the mention of 'reduction'.
    It takes 72 muscles to frown...but only 4 to raise a middle finger.

    Situation normal then.

    Corps hard to get into, 50 - 60 man recruit troops, 10 -20 pass out.

    So, instead of offering 120 places per month to get 20 - 40 trained ranks, take a fine tooth comb to the top 120 applicants, offer 60 of them a crack at nod land and end up with 20 - 40 trained ranks.

    .....And the biggy is ?
    why you kikka my dog and a call it fuck off?
