Should have been a meat man pt 3 - Douglas Bader

He was giving a talk at an private girl’s school about his time as a pilot in the Second World War. “So there were two of the f**ers behind me, three f***ers to my right, another f***er on the left,” he told the audience. The headmistress went pale and interjected: “Ladies, the Fokker was a German aircraft.” Sir Douglas replied: “That may be, madam, but these f**ers were in Messerschmitts.”

If a lighter is dropped in the khasi it stops working.

Weirdly, the same is true of phones, but just you try lighting your smoke with a Samsung.

I dropped an early mobile in a wash hand basin once. It was dead for a week but then came back to life.

Following the first of a series of “Knowledge Transfers” for my role to an offshore IT outsourcing company, I have learned that the upper echelons of management who agreed the deal have no idea what is involved on the ground. I actually feel a bit sorry for the outsource team as they are about to get hit in the face by a fast approaching and vertiginous learning curve.

I just need to make sure I am out of the picture…

I had a Blackberry about ten years back that dropped out of my pocket during a thunderstorm. We were on holiday in Italy and had just arrived back at the accommodation in the hire car; I was rushing to get inside out of the torrential rain and didn’t notice the phone had dropped out of my pocket.

When I went to look for it an hour or so later, I found it submerged in a puddle of dirty brown rainwater. After a couple of days drying out, it worked perfectly :+1:

Great backstory.

A dirty brown puddle is obviously a safer environment for a phone than one of Jim’s pockets.

Great article - it explains a lot!! :grin:

I loved this line:

“They found the high fibre diet led to longer initial retention of gas, but the volume stayed the same, meaning fewer but bigger farts.”

…means I can loose weight and still do bigger ones…yay! :laughing:
