Ex Para walking around the world.

[Chappy]

Well I`m bored at this unearthly hour and 'surfing the information super highway'.

Anyway:-

The Goliath Expedition is like no other world record breaking attempt. It will take over TEN years to complete and will cover over 36,000 Miles across four continents, 25 countries, crossing a frozen sea, six deserts, seven mountain ranges in one non-stop journey.
This site will carry full detailed history of Karl Bushby's record breaking attempt to walk around the world.

It will take over TEN years to complete, It will cover over 36,000 Miles. It will test one man's ability to go it alone and walk around the world, in one non-stop journey. It is under way now and will provide one of the most interesting and captivating stories to be told.

Karl Bushby, a 36 year old ex paratrooper, is chasing that very dream to become the first person to complete an unbroken round the world walk.

He set off on 1st November 1998, he has completed over 17000 miles. With over 19000 more miles to walk, maintaining his current speed, he should return home to Hull in 2009. All the adventures, trials, tribulations and magical moments are illustrated in his personal journals. Karl has already walked through South and Central and North America.

anyone ever see that Jim Davidson Vid filmed infront of some armoured brigade in Poland during a brief pause in rampaging across polish fields??

Some brilliant one-liners, and here are some examples...

American briefing prior to Gulf 1

"Ok Men we are here here and here the eneemy are here here and here we are going to go in there with cruise napalm and 30,000 tanks and kick the holy shite out of the lot YeeeeHAaaaaaaa!!!"

British briefing prior to Gulf 1

"Ok chaps, listen in as i i i explain the current situation as we we we see it at the moment......Now the enemy are here, here, here and here and we are............Sgt major where the fark are we?????"

British briefing in Bosnia

"Ok currently men we are in Bosnia (looks at map) ............................Sgt Major wheres Bosnia?"
"Here Sir we're farking in it! Right farking here Sir "

Gulf War 1

General Schwarzkopf and General Sir Peter de la Billierre are having a ciggie outside GHQ in Rihyad when Schwarzkopf says
"Hey Flipaflop the USMC are the bravest best fighting men in the world and I'll prove it...MARINE!"

"Sir yes SIR!"

"Climb to the top of that 200ft obs tower and throw yourself off it head first, land and sing the national anthem!!"

"SIR YES SIR!"

and so the grunt does the task , landing in the sand and shattering every bone in his body but humming the national anthem as he is stretchered away!

"Now thats American courage says Norman"

Billierre spies a lonely Bootneck and says
"oh ok Norman, ROYAL MARINE!"

"Sarrrr?!"

"Climb to the top of that tower, throw yourself off it and land singing the national anthem"

"Go FARK YURSELF SARRR!"

"Now thats British courage!"
