More likely to become a hospital case.

Do a three-day run through the Brecon Beacons first, just to get an idea of the physical requirements.

(With a 60lb pack of course)

Just come and spend a Saturday evening with me in my Gas station;

You will learn submission technique, stick fighting, how to handle a pump action shotgun, and how to kill someone with your bare hands.

This will prepare you will for dealing with the Pattaya Jet Ski scam.

Saw a documentary the other day about weeding out potential candidates for the US Special Forces. Made me out of breath just watching it.

I think Ms Gabor is thinking of joining a Special Needs Class..........( about time)

Move to Pattaya.

One third of the ex-pats hanging in the beer bars are special forces.

That would be of the former variety, would it not?

Half of TV'ers are SAS…………………..Socks & Sandals…..Are YOU man enough?

First you would have to be accepted for training in the first place.

Does a prospective SAS spec ops candidate need to be a English citizen?

No…….. A British passport holder with two year service in the British armed forces, and up until 1986 he also had to be in the army…….as opposed to air force or navy……. Now they allow cross service recruitment to Special Forces. For example; a Matlow can attend selection for Hereford, and a 'cow kicker' (air force) can go commando, (SBS)

Australia has their own Special Forces, (SAS)…Err; I think they need to be Aus!

As long as you finance a barstool in perpetuity...

Surely it would be better to purchase an FBI windbreaker from a market stall.

You would not then have to get all the tattoos of winged knives, snakes and tigers that are the essential identification marks of a 'former special services' bar-room bore.

Just a pair of Raybans and you're away.

"Matelot" or "Matlow" The sailor's name for himself. From the French. MATEY ... practice after the restoration of King Charles II in 1660 for ships of the Royal Navy ...

Needed a T shirt a while back and went to buy one from the beach stalls. After browsing for 10 minutes, the only "cool" ones were the CIA & FBI ones. All the rest either were Chang, Singha, Elephants performing erotic dance in the river, good guy go to heaven, fuc_king wanke_r!, Bin Laden, Crouching tiger & hidden butterfly, or Red Bull T shirts.

Not a bad idea, HB.

Yet, I believe a ATF windbreaker would be more exotic than the usual FBI wear.
