Servicemen receive a pretty damn good pension these days don't they? My father was in the forces all his life and retired on a pretty comfortable pension, but says he missed out on the recent big increases. My brother also retired from the army at 40 and received a huge pension (he died in Iraq), but he wasn't what you'd call a regular serviceman.

I learned a lot about soldiering from my Action Man.

they did

i was too poor to have an action man, so i had to play with my sisters Barbie.

I bet you had a Johnny seven as well. and a super-soaker.

I once made a bow out of a rose branch. It was lethal

Lethal for the user or the usee?

I played with my sisters' barbies and sindies too. I got into trouble when my Action Man set fire to one of them.

I was too poor to have a johnny seven or super-soaker. I had a spud gun, and one of those guns that fired gold balls. Anyone remember them?

gold balls yes. they were called...(banging head on table)


....(nowadays they call em BB guns - but we had a different name)

...it'll come to me.

my rose bow had a range of about 100m, more than double the rest of the gang with their bamboo cane efforts.

Lego Crossbow for the win !

The black, technical lego axles were great when sharpened with a pocket knife, and served as adequate bolts.

I could punch a hole through a copy of a Famous Five paperback novel at 5 feet, and shot the eye off my teddy bear.

Hmm...just realised that shot the eye off my teddy bear sounds like a euphemism, in the same vein as licking the chutney spoon. Oh well...
