    I'm crap at jokes, can never remember them, or p1ss myself laughing before the punchline. So I decided to steal Ahem... Aquire one or two of the Net. :)


    The soldier serving overseas and far from home was annoyed and upset when his girl wrote breaking off their engagement and asking for her photograph back.

    A creative fellow, he went out and collected from his buddies all the unwanted photographs of women that he could find, bundled them all together and sent them to her with a note stating the following:

    "Dear Mary, I can not remember which one is you ... please keep YOUR photo and return the others!!!



    Q: How many Americans does it take to screw in a light bulb ?
    A: Only one, but he does it from 30 miles away using laser targeting, and at a cost of US $8,000,



    Jesus must've been a Guardsman. He only had twelve mates and one of them jacked him in for beer tokens!!!

    The only thing that kept me from wasting away completely the last two weeks in Mullingar were the chicken tenders in Sofia's! I'm still upset they ran out of them on the last night.

    The battered sausages and the deep fried mars bars where good also!

    I think I lost all my weight on the dancefloor in the lane rather than the frantic running around the square carrying logs and tires!Damn cheating recruits!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Poccington


    Going by your posts lads, I would've gladly swapped losing a stone down in Mullingar for the week I had.

    Cushy bastards. :p

    Jesus lads, that bad? I had an interesting conversation with a fellow I know about the benefits and downfalls of british rat packs, and a certain biscuit we remembered with fondness included within them, Biscuit AB.

    End of the sh!ts as you know them! known more by they more amusing, but oh so true description. Biscuits anal blockage. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭pmg58


    Sounds a lot like the "Brown Biscuits" in the Irish ration packs.

    And to think i had an old and probably very crushed packet of them in my gear somewhere, i could have solved the entire problem and i never even thought of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,798 ✭✭✭Local-womanizer


    I have them sitting about in my gear too!Loving the name,biscuit ABs!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭pmg58


    I dont think i've ever met anyone man enough to actually eat them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,798 ✭✭✭Local-womanizer


    You havent met me:cool:


    Oh wait........


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭pmg58


    Wait a minute...your avatar is you eating the biscuits! Seriously tho, they should be given out with the dinners down there.

    Although they do say the army catering course is the hardest in the army...

    Fruit or brown? brown are rank. Only solution I had was to dunk them in tea or slap slices of bacon burger in between them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭pmg58


    Brown are indeed rank, fruit arent too bad, a bit on the dry side. Unfortunately I've been told they have the opposite effect to the Brown biscuits...the mullingar effect :eek:

    The Mullingar detox effect!

    Mind you the mint cakes are unreal!Not a big fan of the spotted dick though,puns galore!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭pmg58


    The Mullingar diet: How to eat like a horse and still lose a stone in 2 weeks.

    Mint cake is great...especially the chocolate covered one. Spotted dick isnt bad...just dont spill it all over your rifle. I'm a massive fan of the dried fruit too, but they seem to be very much a love-it-or-hate-it thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,533 ✭✭✭iceage


    Ahh ffs, Mintcake...Never got that in our gear, good thng too, i bought some in some outdoor shop once and I discovered..I absolutely hate the stuff, now I'll eat anything, and I mean anything but I'll swap that stuff for a couple of packets of coffee any day.....Yuck!

    Iceage, I pity you, I really do. Mintcake is amazing.

    However I wouldn't recommend eating something almost entirely composed of sugar whilst trying to get to sleep :rolleyes:.

    bashers, no bivvies in my day mate, used to get a mars or something similar, or swapped with mates, always carried some extra goodies in my beltkit though. Sucker for boiled sweets. The Dextrose tabs were nice. It was always rumoured that they were the antidote for the old AB's never found that myself, and would spend the next few days after an Exercise trying to sort myself out so to speak! A few pints and a decent kebab would always sort it out.;)

    Funny I take 1000mg Vitamin C tabs daily now as routine and have never had a problem. Ratpacks have came a long way since then.

    Anyone read operation certain death? more impotantly anybody ever make the mre bomb :pac::pac: CB-MRE B

    One of the funniest pieces of self engineering i've come across


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭pmg58


    mre bomb? explain please!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 611 ✭✭✭Craigsy


    Well it was invented by a bored SAS lad know as Yokel. They were on a training exercise with US SF (Seals and Delta) and he was sitting in the tent messing about with the mre's. He took note of how you add water and it heats up and gives off a gas. So, he thought about how you use the heat and pressure, enter coke bottle, so he stuffed as much of the mre as he could into the coke bottle and scrambled to find the lid, and the Coke Bottle MRE Bomb was made He left it outside Air troops tent until it exploded, with a fairly big explosion according to him, and broke his s**te laughing as air troop piled out of the tent, mp5's at the ready. Eventually they all figure out how to make them and after reaching the point of MAD, they decided it would be more fun to use it on their american counter parts, who didnt seem to find it funny at all.

    He soon move onto the CB-MRE-B Mark II, they chemically weaponised version as he put it, basically they pissed in it instead of using water. Again the americans didnt see the funny side when they set them off in us tents


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 471 ✭✭pmg58


    Thats brilliant! Next time I get issued the chemical heaters in my ration pack I think I'll keep one for future use...

    Yeah, grab all you can

    Their excuse to the OC when the yanks grassed them up was that they were testing the security of the base, the americans didnt like being waked up by a piss and homey pie bomb
