Noice! Or to use a local expression denoting unrivalled pleasure…. Choice!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Those are the precise words I use when I want to annoy my kids… along with ‘totally gangster’, ‘ you gonna hang wiv your posse bruv?, ‘straight out of Compton/Preston’, ‘ in da hood’ and other assorted bits of faux yoof speak. Drives them fucking mad. Teenagers hate the piss being taken.  :D

I am, admittedly, a shockingly bad parent.

We are obviously on the same wavelength cos that's what I do. With some added hand gestures which are all designed to be slightly wrong.

Sadly I also score on the 'dad dancing' although that's actually me doing it as best I can but do not tell anyone   o_o

Lovely!

The thing that always surprised me was why the SAS went to the trouble of converting standard L1A1 SLRs into auto versions when the L1A2 AR was in the system. The AR was a bit crap and usually only ever appeared as a gun for enemy party on exercise but it was designed from the ground up as an automatic rifle. The SAS took the 30 round mags and the dust cover from the AR anyway. Must have had bored armourers I suppose.

That's a nicely dimensioned Blooper. I have seen one from another make that looks like 3" drain pipe.
Cheers,
