Born Hunter 17,798 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Always struggle with these questions. I guess I'd love to burn the ear off of an old and bold SBS operator in a quiet corner of a country pub, one of the guys from the 70s when modern special forces soldiering was really being pioneered. Or an MI6 agent from the same cold war era. Neil Armstrong about the moon landing would be another good one. Wouldn't mind taking Angelina Jolie or Penelope Cruz out for an evening meal either, LOL. Just to say I had! Edited May 15, 2014 by Born Hunter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I guess I'd love to burn the ear off of an old and bold SBS operator in a quiet corner of a country pub, one of the guys from the 70s when modern special forces soldiering was really being pioneered. Ye'd get precious little, mate I was very close to a former SAS guy. He'd been active, as far as I ever worked out, around about the sixties / seventies. (I distinctly remember him admitting he'd been in Oman. But, which time ....?) Honestly; I don't know what the f**k they feed those guys. But, f**k me, does it keep their lips sealed! I drank, to a stand still, with this guy, for the best part of a decade. During that time, I blatantly blathered on about my hero worshipping fascination with the SAS. The night he finally muttered ~ in obvious exasperation ~ that " I don't know what all the fuss is about. I was in the SAS ....." is when it all fell into place! Guy had always had a completely understated air of the Clint Eastwood about him. And, that time I'd spotted the hard back copy of " Who Dares Wins " on his little, personal unit? I'd ranted and raved about it. What did he think of it? He could barely bring himself to bother to explain that he hadn't read it. Someone had given it to him for his birthday ..... Next subject? He never did tell me stories of throat slashing, machine gunning, death defying shit in the SAS. Ever. I guess it was that quiet mention, one shared bottle night. Long before he admitted his true past. When he said about the gavvers. I thought then; " This guy's a f**king nutter!!! ". It was years later that I found the SAS had thought so too. So much so that they'd invited him to join in their fun. Yeah. I'd love to have one more session with Bri'. And, this time I'd have to f**king Insist he told me What they did, for Which distillery. The one that got them Those f**king key rings made! I'll go to my death wondering about That one! " We got hauled over the coals for That! " He said. Smiling secretly, at some private memory! B@stard! God rest ye, Bri'! Love ye to this day. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
