O God. I'm pissed again and it's only Wednesday. There are choppers buzzing nearby and my head is still realing from karaoke. Go that was bad.

So This is a drunken post. The worst kind.

Sympathy please? ok. never mind. I'll just go looking for SG...

What are you singing these days? Status Quo? biggrin biggrin

Drunken posts are cool but drunken karaoke is the best. Do you do SingStar in the comfort of your own home as well?
I'm not that new to SG, had an account for a year which I closed about a year ago but didn't realise that I could just reactivate that one. I prefer the vibe (and nakedness) on here to somewhere like myspace. smile

Fuckin PC World webcam shite. Why can't these things just work.

This is an odd place. Have a shit load of fun, learn interesting things, even take a little rank but get up at 0530 every wednesday and Friday because we are going to fucking thrash your bodies.

Tweed and swimwear party in our bar tonight.

If I don't die on the assault course first....

Woo for swimwear parties!!

Er yeah a eczema talk, if you read the blog before that one it will explain tongue
roozie:
webcams are one of those things sent to test you - kind of like when the little tab comes off in your hand and doesn't peel off the rest off the film lid so you can get to the food!
Tweed and swimwear party sounds great, was it fun?

Here I am in the new training regiment getting saluted by phase2 trainees, sergeants and warrant officers. That's going to take some time to get used to but what a feeling. Sandhurst really is over and done with. Gotta get stuck in to fitness and artillery technicalities. Can't wait.

Artillery eh?

Well. Here we are.

I got a new Canon PowerShot S5IS.

my dad gave it to me as a commissioning present. The annoying thing is that I've been too tired to do anything worth taking pictures of. But soon. I have been slumped over the extensive instruction manual.

Can anyone tell me what a focus bracket is?

I'm going to check out another photography tutorial...

I'd recommend just skimming the instructions and then shooting lots of pictures....play with the settings...see what they do....

I forget what half of the settings do on my cameras..... wink
kinto:
I had a great Pentax a few years ago... Hardly ever used it cause I wasn't too good on adjusting the complicated setttings....

Today, I hardly ever take pictures... (or write stuff or make music). Is growing up the reason why you don't need to express yourself through various artistic means? I've been pondering that question for a while.

I've done it! I've finally commissioned!

Since January 07 I've been thrashed, beasted, shouted at, broken, fixed, frozen, boiled, gassed and abused. All in the name of the Queen's Commission. And finally, I am Second Lieutenant!

Now for two weeks off.

zzzzz...

I am very bored of walking around the parade square freezin my ass off for a parade I've done twice before.

I can't feel my fingers.

That is all.

Anybody else working outdoors in this random winter?

Hi all, I'm back. Two weeks freezing my tits off in French hail storms didn't kill me! But I can't say it made me stronger either. I'm still missing a few layers of skin off my fingers.

Anyway. Generally successful I guess in that I have no more exercises left at Sandhurst and I know my way around a French ration pack. Lets make a...

I'm off to go training in France for two weeks. Sorry if I didn't get back to you but I've been working on a new definition of 'busy'.

See you on the far side!

Two weeks away, eh? Nice...
Is it training, or like a battlefield tour affair? I don't know how it works at RMAS, but France is always good for battlefield history- well, we always won, didn't we? wink

Ref this pic.

No gloves, no overboots. Everyone I've met has always lost them!

We did it, we won the race. Even with one guy dropping out and heading to hospital, giving us a three minute penalty, we still won. Damn it hurt.

We didn't win the year-long competition tho. We came second of nine. We did however sweep the board in the physical, soldiering comps so we're happy.

the winners won with essays and consistent mediocrity. We may...

Monday will deliver the hardest race of my life so far.

4 mile run with 17.5 kilos, 800m Assault course with 8 kilos and rifle, back up to 17.5 kilos, 1 mile run to the range and then sprints mixed with shoots from 300, 200 and 100 meters. If I don't vomit, I'm not trying hard enough.

It will be a weekend of hot baths,...
