LOL.

I have only ever nodded off once. Was during a lecture on fire and maneouvre and we had roughly 2 hours sleep the night before - finished a 9mile load carry (which did serious damage to me but by the time I'd realised there was no safety wagon so just had to finish) at around 0300.

Wet and dry is really horrible, seen guys just refuse to do it and quite a few tried to quit next morning but weren't allowed to :o

Did it at around 20:00, then had to make a bivi without using trees, despite the fact we were beside a forest. Not one person had bivi poles. Took us 40 minutes to find decent enough sticks etc and it was terrible bivi - a bergen at each end and barely a stick to prop it up!

Just word of advice, make sure the pencil is away from your nostrol, as rummor had it in my old school 1 lad during exams was so stressed out, he put a pencil up each nostrol in the middle of a exam and slamed his head down on the desk, resulting in the pencils hitting his brain and killing him.
alright

Jonboy, that rumour was at my school as well - I think it's passed through most schools in the UK now, lol

Nasty, lol.

Actually, be careful where you put that pencil, if it's sharp... could do some serious damage to yer throat!
