Information
Pull Up A Sandbag
By Jonathan Smiles
Contributed by
military personnel
from the British Army,
Navy and Air Force,
some of the
descriptions of the
mad, bad and
dangerous antics of
servicemen on and off
duty to be found in Pull
Up a Sandbag are
enough to scare the living daylights out of the average
civilian, whilst others would cause even a hardened
RSM to blush - but they will all be
recognised as true to life by anyone who
has served in the armed forces.
The daft pranks that military types like to
play on one another and especially on
`sprogs' and `newbies' - the disastrous
results of mixing stupidity with lethal
weaponry - the havoc caused by the
infamous Emperor Mong, who whispers
in the ears of unwary servicemen and
tells them to do things they will later
regret - the misunderstandings between
those in command and the men they are
commanding - the misfires, mishaps and
mistakes - all are recorded here for the
reader's education and amusement.
I had to include this one again as it
never fails to make me laugh. Go on,
buy it. You’ll laugh your socks off!!
Rumours
Fleetwood Mac
I’m going for one of my favs this month.
The iconic Mac album which really marked
the beginning of the end. Each song was
written depicting the turmoil within the band
at the time. It also includes the F1 theme
tune, The Chain.
The Foreigner
Jackie Chan
Pierce Brosnan
Orla Brady
This has to be one of the best
Jackie Chan movies ever. Forget
the fun, martial arts side and be
prepared to walk into a world of the IRA
coming up against a very quiet and
unassuming man who turns out to be exspecial
forces after his daughter is killed
in a bomb attack. Thrilling!!
