Those SAS programmes...

They have hot water in the barracks?

Only if they can find someone who can use a kettle.

Got some "safety training" once from some scary ex SBS bods who liked to turn every workshop into a comedy roasting of their SAS counterparts as loudmouthed billy big-bollockses who weren't nearly as hard at their core as the modest, inoffensive, geography-teacher lookalikes in the SBS. Endless score-settling anecdotes were told of SAS being too in love with itself and not all that good at surviving (but quite good at writing books about it afterwards). Of course any members of the "ordinary" Army, Navy or Air Force were beneath their contempt and not even worth mentioning.

Then I read this and it turns out that schoolgirl-level bitchery and mutual sabotage goes both ways in the Special Forces...
End your rift, SAS and SBS are told

SBS also like cross-dressing but then all royal marines do . Much to the horror of the US Navy Seals who try to be more macho than a macho thing. Some idiotic Cypriots managed to mistake the cropped-haired tattooed mustached lunatics as the worlds ugliest transvestites and decided to gay bash them. Went about as well as can be expected minutes later they were back to making the SEAls as uncomfortable as possible

Because it is exceptionally smooth and presumably without BOTOX or make up, a rarity in TV land.

Why does that mean you have to comment on it?

Don't you appreciate a good skin-care regimen when you see one?

I have empathy that those without “good” skin didn’t choose to be that way and have no interest in contributing to a social atmosphere that makes people think that they are somehow lesser because they have failed the good skin test. At the very least, I don’t feel the need to comment on how somebody looks just simply because the thought my crosses my mind.

The first thing I said at the beginning of this series was - ooh, he's got a shit load of makeup on this time.

I cannot thank this thread enough for introducing me to this Ant fellow and so finding the film of his trip up Everest - something that always, always fascinates me - and the marvellous Mutiny! I LOVE stuff like Mutiny

Ooh shall look for the Everest climb, love things like that. It's the weather for it too.

It's pretty good. I had a serious "nope!!" moment when they showed them crossing a ladder tied across a cravass. I knew these things were up there but I've never seen film of anyone actually crossing one

Not seen "Everest" yet but it's in my watch list!

Same. Made me laugh so much

Not that I'm now watching this of course

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Just watched the last episode and I have to say I did get a bit of a tear in my eye for the winners
