Good morning all. I hope you don't mind but I've invited a few ex RAF mob in for a chinwag. Don't mind us if we pull up a sandbag in a corner somewhere.
Hilary
It is enough to bring tears to the eyes. The procedure was described to me when I first joined 'the mob', part of the 'don't put it about' lecture.

Socrates...yep..we got the same lecture. I don't know how much of it was true or just to scare us. Luckily I have never been in that situation to have to find out.
One of my funnier medical moments was the time I had a Barium enema at RAF Halton. There I was lying on the table next to the X ray and Barium pipe equipment waiting for the M.O., when in walked a Wg Cmdr medic. He looked at me...looked at the barium pipe...turned to the Sgt medic and said rather sternly,
"Sgt, the patient and the tube don't seem to be connected, I will come back when they are." Then he walked out.
I asked the Sgt what that was all about and he said.. "The ba@s*ard wants ME to stick the tube up your arse!"
Absolutely priceless!! I was in fits of laughter for weeks after that...

Hils, I know you're not that naive to question my knowledge re 'The Scraper'
[not SPS] but it was as described by Palwing [bloody RAF types]; a slight searing pain rendered the unfortunates voice roughly 11,000 decibels higher, his temp. up into low 100's,
the scream was akin to a Bucaneers jet engine on flashburn, and the moan, when it came, was like the Gods rumbling from 4000 feet under Mount Etna.
Then the nurse calmly changed your underwear......
Barium enemas, oh my Gawd, been the unfortunate recipient on two occasions and like everything associated with the bloody things, I use the term loosely!!
You're up on the table, in an undignified position by yourself [in company perhaps not so undignified!] and you can watch everything they're doing on the screen, bloody mindblowing.
The main prob. is afterwards when you get down from the table and make your waycrosslegged like a crab to a nearby lavatory which you very nearly make but, whoops, NOT QUITE!!!!!!!!!! Result a white flood******************
Hospitals teach one so much about one's humility, embarrassments etc.
A very sad l.w. right now as just returned from Cape Town Airport after dropping off my little baby [aged 31yrs] and her boyfriend who are returning to UK after their holiday here with us. Won't see them again until August.
Boo Hoo.........

Sorry This-is-me arrived too late to keep you company during breakfast.
Hilary - I shall never view an umbrella in the same way again...Actually
its probably a good thing I wasn't around reading that when breakfast
was served!
Ok you all will have to forgive me now, it's one of those Proud Mum
moments ((Champers all round plse Poochy)) I am so happy, my
eldest has passed his practical driving test this lunchtime - 2nd
attempt - and I am so proud of him!!!

Jffers, sorry about that mate, didn't realise I duplicated altho did like the 'paralised one' and 'bleedin Romford'.
Bunny, congrats re your nipper; well remember my two achieving their licence.
Trouble is its a licence to worry about; safely home after an evening out in their car, buying it, paying for it, getting into debt because of it, getting into trouble with the police for driving/ parking offences etc etc and then wanting to upgrade and it all starts over again.....
Blinding day for my shares in the game today;
as posted by others here, "if only in the real life eh?????"

Thanks Snoball!
Little Willie - yes I understand what you mean, I have already
come out with the classic phrase of dubious logic of
"Now you promise you will be careful, don't you kill yourself
when you get a car or you'll have me to deal with!"
Yes...when emotions are involved, logical thought
tends to migrate south!!

Bunny, That's good News about the driving test! However today i learned from reading my Evening paper that an old best friend of mine has been killed in a car accident! He was a nice guy too and it's a real shame for the parents. One thing is for sure is that you never know how long you are here for and should enjoy your life as much as you can. Please tell your son that Poochy warns of driving too fast and not to be stupid behind the wheel. I too have lost control and nearly killed myself crashing down an embankment but i was lucky and ever since have been sensible. Sorry to sound so morbid but my friends death is a reminder to all.
