That must of been a long time ago!From what I hear army lockup isn't fun. You have to ask permission to do absolutely everything! Serves alot of them right if you ask me. The army's riddled with young, immature, trouble making little f*ckers if you ask me! I find the older guys alot more 'normal' for use of a better term.Been there resembled that last remark, I am a Military Police member and was at Pucka for the week, attended in my capacity of MP. I can confirm DFCE is not a pleasant place, but a holiday camp compared to what it used to be ie MCE many years ago. As for the grenade, I have reasonable belief that it was indeed the whols grenade.ScottyPS Adam do you know how the bloke is, I wish him well and hope he makes reasonable recovery.

The mixing arm grabbed the barrel and Boooooom. For about three weeks the back of my neck and my arms were blue.The funniest part about the whole thing was the two body marks on the wall where you could see splash. Like two bodies on a brick wall after a bomb blast.RegardsTUFXRT6 Edited 01/11/07 10:51 PM by TUFXRT6 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39431-work-site-mishaps/page/2/#findComment-591379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact I have.Armoured vehicles have quite a few of these hooked up on a delivery system. I'll never forget seeing a big white plume coming out the the tanks turrent commanders hatch.Those guys didn't enjoy cleaning it up either.

Posted 11/11/07 05:14 AM Share Posted 11/11/07 05:14 AM Many moons ago I worked in a pathology lab, Bacteriology do this neat test called a 3-day fecal fat....they give you a paint tin and your supposed to poop in it for 3-days then return to the lab.The bacto's then pop open the lid, pour in some reagents and reseal the lid with a mallet,the tin is then put into one of those paint mixers that vigorously shake the tin...one stupid bint forgot to whack the lid down, you can imagine what happened,sh1t everywhere, best bit was though that instead of shutting it off at the circuit board or pulling the plugshe run up to the machine and tried to find the switch with her eyes closed....Suffice to say...she wound up in the sh1t.

The bridge supported the Dart line (main train line into dublin) his famous last words when his mate said "you sure this isnt too high" were "she'll be right mate" hehethey nearly had to stop the trains into dublin, had surveyers out to asses the safety of the line afterwards and everythingheres the end result...
