Speaking of TV...anyone watch this the other night?

Dom · 20 February, 2003, 07:14:55 PM

Yes and how hard core was that and it has not even started to get nasty!!

paulvonscott · 20 February, 2003, 07:25:36 PM

The advert was too much to me. Gah! Drowning!

Oh yeah loved the first series and loved this...

The faces of the poor victems when the latrine facilities was explained

"Why are seven out of then of the Regiment Scottish? Because we are all hard fuckers"

I have not seen this show. but the SBS are based in Plymouth. in the winter you could watch them swimming to shore on bovi sand beach. .middle of winter. waves to high for normal boats to be out and these guys are dropped off by helicopter in to the sea.swim in and crawl out of the water. getting up and running a further few hundred metres up a hill to a marker.
MADNESS I TELL YOU.
and that was only the selection process.
why oh why would you even consider that a good carrear move?
the water was cold enough to make penguins happy.

>that's right.

...apart from the ones that are exiled to Devon for being wussy comics artists. ;)

jock · 20 February, 2003, 07:38:53 PM

heh, funnily enough, I now live in Devon...

Mk13 · 20 February, 2003, 07:40:59 PM

Yeah, funny that. Almost... uncanny...

jock · 20 February, 2003, 07:42:46 PM

No no no... it was because when I'm not drawing I TRAIN those lightweights in the SAS down here.

Nothing at all to do with me being a wuss.

i thought the woman with the glasses was a bit of a weirdo though

1. she thinks ants taste like ribena
2. for even eating live ants
3. for crying for no reason....doesn't quite fit the are you tough enough image really!

Mk13 · 20 February, 2003, 07:56:20 PM

Train them? What in - embroidery and kitten care?

jock · 20 February, 2003, 08:05:35 PM

cross-stitch.

Dom · 20 February, 2003, 09:04:49 PM

They lost 7 or so people in the first episode and all thy had to do was walk about.

They are going to be beaten up and blind folded in the next

going to be a short series me thinks

cross stitch might come in handy if you had dissentary??

Jock, I think members of the Special Artists Service have to be able to draw Dredd at 3am... so I guess you're just not tough enough ;-)
