Ahh! that reminds me of my army days , when I joined my first unit we still had Centurion ARV's with Rolls Royce Meteor main engine and Moggie minor GUE, everything was either BSC or Whitworth - I had a complete seperate toolbox just for them!! - but I loved it! [/quote] Them Meteor engines where some thing like 27 litres V12 and sounded a little like this best if he had some sort of exhaust good though!

Following the recent events in London, the Olympics games have been tweeked a little bit to be more appropate to its location. In previous Olympic Games, East London 's competitors have not been particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some of the events have been altered slightly to the advantage of the local athletes. THE OPENING CEREMONY The flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of the area, in the traditional dress of balaclava and shell suit. The flame will be contained in a large overturned Police van situated on the roof of the stadium. THE EVENTS 100 METRES SPRINT Competitors will have to hold a DVD player and microwave oven (one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a Police dog will be released from a cage 10 meters behind the athletes. 110 METRES HURDLES As above but with added obstacles (i.e. car bonnets, hedges, garden fences, walls etc) HAMMER Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they wish to use (claw, sledge etc) the winner will be the one who can cause the most physical damage within three timed attempts. FENCING Entrants will be asked to dispose of as many stolen goods as possible in 5 minutes. SHOOTING A strong challenge is expected from local men in this event. The first target will be a moving police van. In the second round, competitors will aim at a post office clerk, bank teller or Securicor-style Cash-in-transit guard. The traditional .22 rifle has been replaced in this event by a choice of either a Mac 10 or Sawn-off 12-bore shotgun. BOXING Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife teams, and will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15 pints of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he gets home. The bout will then commence. CYCLING TIME TRIALS Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy on his first trip away from home. All against the clock. CYCLING PURSUIT As above, but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft. MODERN PENTATHLON Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing, joyriding, arson and generally hanging around. SWIMMING EVENTS All waterways are currently being tested for toxicity levels, once one is found that can support human life, swimming events will be organized. Please note that the Synchronized Swimming event for this year will comprise of dropping acid and watching all the funky ripples on the pool, the specific musical support to this event will be provided by "The Verve". THE MARATHON A safe route has yet to be decided. MEN'S 50KM WALK Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the Police cannot guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of East London , especially anyone that appears to be mincing. THE CLOSING CEREMONY Entertainment will include formation rave dancing by members of the Stratford Health in the Community anti-drug campaigners, synchronized rock throwing, and music by the Ilford community choir featuring the So Solid Crew. The flame will be extinguished by police riot water cannon following the inevitable pitch invasion by confused West Ham organised hooliganism club. The stadium itself will then be boarded up before the local athletes break into it and remove all the copper piping and the central heating boiler.

My interview went like this true story I was in the air cadets 1947SQ..I wanted to be a starfighter pilot O;OFFICER ME: A Starfighter Pilot, Sir. O: And why particularly the Starfighter? ME: Because Sir, I am in love with this aircraft. This magnificent engine of steal and gleam. O: That's very poetic. Please continue. ME: This aerocynamic Delilah. Its uptilted wings and sidewinder rockets. Its clear curving cockpit cover, the whirling of dials and needles. The illustrious uniform of the Federal Airforce. The click of the heels in , the flare of the jacket, the wide, long-skirted hang of it, and oh, the low shiny peak of the cap. O: I think that's enough. ME: But Sir, the danger, and the glory of death. A young and dashing life gone up in flames. Blonde maidens weeping. To die for one's country. To set forth in a silver lance too joust with the forces of darkness. O: They don't always crash, you know. ME: It would be an honour to crash in such a plane. O: To be mangled and scorched? ME: To be hideously mutilated beyond the recognition of one's own mother. O: Is that makeup you're wearing? ME: Makeup, Sir? O: Makeup. Makeup. You know it's what the ladies wear. ME: Not all ladies wear makeup, sir. O: Well what's that black stuff around your eyes. Is that mascara? ME: All right. I can see it`s no good lying to you, sir. I confess. It is mascara. But...only a little bit. O: What on Earth for? ME: It's my mother, sir. O: Your mother? ME: You see my mother was the first woman to fly the Atlantic in a (pause) Gaseo Glider. O: A Gaseo Glider? ME: A machine of my father's invention. You see he was too much of a professional aeronautical inventor to actually fly it himself, so my mother took it, and tried to fly it singlehanded across the Atlantic. O: And what happened? ME: She...she crashed. Spun down into the sea and was never seen again. They found only her false eyelashes, floating. And so, you see, ever since I have worn mascara in her sacred memory. O: I see. ME: Well sir. Do I get a plane? O: In view of the confessions you have just made, which must have taken a great deal of courage, I consider you an ideal type for the job. There's a plane for you waiting on the runway. The sergeant will give you an instruction manual on the way out. Oh, and by the way, eh, GAZ ME: Sir? O: Don`t let the CO catch you wearing makeup on duty. At least not in uniform, understand? ME: But Sir... O: Alright then. But very subtly applied, is that clear? ME: I understand, Sir. O: Right on, GAZ ME: Righty Oh, Sir. Then the Ice cream van arrived weird init
