Off Topic What Day is It Today?

Not drivel by a long way mate. Theres certain things that grip my attention. This is most definetly one of them.

 

I've removed some of Welders posts.

Its still working hours here Comm. We can't be online 24-7.

Oh, and Welder you need you're bloody head examining mate for keep going back!!

 

There's not much else to tell mate. Obviously i was ****ting myself both times cos they had big **** off machete's and axes, but all the time i was held i never ever believed that they would harm us. Yes they roughed us up a bit but nowt serious. TBH it was worse facing all the questions from management afterwards, we were interrogated for a week afterwards on both occasions the ****ing ****ers.
The worst part for me was that i could have legged it on the second occasion cos they left me alone briefly, but where the **** do i run to? I didn't know where i was so wouldn't have got very far.

That would be a waste of time mate, it's empty.

 

I know that mate.

 

Mental. ****ing mental.

This tale has everything in it.

Im gripped. I wanna know more. I wanna know everything

 

Nosey bastard

 

I know. Its one of my traits.

Gobby. Nosey. Abusive. Inquizetive. Full of ****e. Bad spelling. General ****.

 

Well, they were all black, all armed and all ****ing scary looking. Now we travel with what they call a 'lead and chase' security detail, armed up to the hilt with machine guns and turret mounted 50 calibre machine guns on each lead and chase, plus, believe it or not a ****ing rocket launcher. The type you stick on your shoulder like Rambo. I think i have a pic somewhere, will try and post it tonight when i get back to the digs.

 

But they bottled it when the time came?

 

RamboWelder should be your name on here ya nutter!!!

 

Id love this to have its own thread. It would be thread of the year.

Welder is bonkers.

Not only does he shag howler monkeys, he gets kidknaped of zulus.

Mad as a hatter. I love him. (In a non gay way of course)

 

I honestly don't know mate, either that or they were paid off, one of the two.

 

Careful now, i'll end up sharing a cell with Jonno FFS.

 

The latter 100%

Never trust these ****s.

 

More than likely mate cos that's all they're after. Usually any kidnappings are sort of peaceful if you like until the oil companies are slow to cough up, then it gets ugly. I was lucky i guess cos it happened before the ****s started getting sophisticated and now there have automatic weapons, gps trackers and all kinds of ****. The tossers who got me must have been novices.

 

Thats one dodgy game welder.

Fsir do's

 

It seemed psychological, MrRAW. There were five or six guys so close to it - Landy, Pirie, Chataway, Brasher, Hewson, etc. - but it was always that last elusive second they just couldn't manage. As you say, once Bannister had broken it, the others could do it - Landy knocked two seconds off the record a month after it was set! That led knockers in the British press to suggest Landy was far better than Bannister and had just been unlucky. That went on till September, '54, when the two met head-to-head in the Empire & Commonwealth Games in Vancouver where Bannister utterly destroyed Landy. Nobody ever questioned Bannister again.

 

It isn't special today, you're right mate. But the thing to remember is that they don't run a mile today. 1500m is about 1625 yards whereas a mile is 1760 yards. So those old milers were running about 135 yards further. I once tried to calculate Bannister's time down (239.4 / 1760 x 1625). I think it came to 3 mins. 41 secs, The modern record is about 15 seconds faster - but it's taken 62 years to get there. The average rate of improvement is about 0.24 seconds per year, nowhere near as enormous as some people think.

 

that's cracking going mate...I was exactly the opposite. I could run a hundred metres in under 12 seconds, and was pretty nifty right up ton 800 meters that I peaked at 2 minutes 15 seconds. Anything more than that and I was gash..
