Mess Crockery Shooting
Probably breaks a zillion rules these days, but back in the 1980's...
To play this game you need:
1. A 12 guage pump action or automatic shotgun, preferably with an extended magazine (The issue folding stock Remington 870 was particularly suitable
).
2. A selection of cartridges in different shot weights.
3. A substantial quantity of mess gold band crockery.
4. A cheque book.
Play:
The game takes place on the mess lawn.
First phone the guardroom and advise them "There will be a bit of shooting at the mess - nothing to worry about..."
You need a launcher and some firers.
Taking turns as the firer, proceed as follows:
Each firer stands in front of the launcher who throws a piece of crockery over the head of the firer (ensuring a mix of cups and saucers as they have different aerodynamic properties). Once in the target is in front of him, the firer can engage the target attempting to destroy it with the least shots.
Scoring:
Scoring is as follows -
1. Airborne hit - 3 points.
2. Ground based execution - 2 points.
3. Each cartridge used - minus 1 point.
Double hit points if firing with the stock folded.
Shooter with the highest score at the end wins.
Losers tot up the bill for the damage and present cheques to mess sergeant.
Handicaping:
The game can be handicapped by using different cartridge weights - experts use buckshot, beginners use something nancy like No5 shot.
Of course it would be totally irresponsible to do something like this!

Not really after- DI story. But IIRC, in 1966 the opposing squadron at West Raynham (along with my other outfit) had an after-stack pxxs up in the bar at which one unfortunate Fg Off passed out on the bar floor. He was whisked off to the Med Centre where the not quite so-pxxxed MO quickly set his leg in plaster - with pebbles/stones under the foot. A day or so later, after said chappy had oft bemoaned his demise, all was revealed to him ----- well it was funny then, and I think his name began with S. Any clues?

Platypus racing
Soapy table & condoms filled to bursting with water and tied with a knot (the beak) and the other end the tail.
Put platypus on the table and rythmically stroke (without lettting go) until sufficient expansion and contraction is going on to let it run away. Platypus must travel beak first. Your oppo at the other end has to catch it before it falls of the table and kills itself, turn it and return it the same way. The dry one wins.
