"Goblin Teasmade" ?? Bunch of nancy boys.

A couple of standard issue knives carefully positioned in a pint mug of water - preferable non-metallic, wrap wires around knife handles and plug into mains. Hot water for a brew in a matter of minutes.

Goblin! Jeez that takes me back!!

My batty, wife of a WO, told me it about a week after the offending oaf had been "disciplined". We were on the second floor 82-83! She'd been the unwelcome recipient. She was lovely, sweet and like a mum to me - Oedipus, anyone?

Each to their own BEagle - I'd rather see the Headmistress.

Nutloose - you need to keep up with the programme chum. The Goblin Teasmaid and Filton block antics were definitely Adults only (well apart from R**h P***y and the watercress carpet!)

I assume you are a triplex type - could be wrong.

I remember the incident well as I was on one of the courses at the time. I recall that he was shipped home and subsequently shot for failing the course (the rumour goes). Just shows what happens to those with non RAF OQs but, I have to say, awfully harsh. All we got was a lack of promotion and a gentle "could do better".

Smudger, You're a complete amateur. A real pedant would've been in for the kill within minutes, even seconds - not six weeks later.

Anyway, shouldn't your c word be capitalised?
