Bluffboy says: My mate cheated death and burned his eyebrows off looking down the barrel of a potato gun. Tell us about your brushes with the Grim Reaper through stupidity.

Stupid cleaning!
Back when I was a younger, more athletic and somewhat stupider version of myself I decided to join the Air Training Corps so I could meet girls.
This plan started off OK but went slightly wrong when we went to an all boys camp at RAF Cosford...

While there we did a number of fun activities including flying, shooting, going up the Wrekin and going to Jodrill Bank.

We also had to do a number of not so fun activities including drill and ensuring that our rooms were clean.

Every morning we had to get up at around 6 in the morning to ensure that the room was tidy enough to pass inspection from the twatty warrant officer who always found a spot where you'd missed/forgotten/couldn't reach.

However, one day I knew I could outwit him and cleaned everywhere, including the bedside lamp (that had no bulb) and inside there too. I knew I'd show him! Suddenly there is this weird buzzing feeling in my thumb...

This can't be good thinks I and I then attempt to prise my thumb out of this socket, fianlly manage to and find it covered in weird tiny hard bits of skin and blisters and actually wonder why this has happened...

How have I not died yet?

i remember the ATC
joined for the same reasons as yourself, and managed to get my first kiss there. and my second, third, fourth and fifth i believe. truth or dare behind the cinema afterwards, except with less of the truth nonsense and plenty of the kissing. one of my 'conquests' being the beautiful gemma savage, whom everyone at school wanted to be inside of ever since they realised what being inside of a girl meant. which of course resulted in much jealously from others, a fact not helped by the fact that i was quite the little urchin back then. ahhh good times.

(yes that's all i bring to the table here i'm afraid. cheers etc)

My mate also joined for the sexy possibilities...
...and ended up marrying his commanding officer.

Really.

I joined the ATC
Cause it sounded like more fun than scouts and there was flying.

Turned out we had A1 scoutmasters and the ATC was nowhere near as much fun and I never got to do any flying (I have since paid for training and have my own license now)
