September 6, 2018 Newsletter
Hi folks,
First a warning which may be relevant to some of our readers regarding asbestos found in Sea King helicopters. Asbestos does not usually cause any issues but as we all know, it can be dangerous. If you may be effected by the asbestos in Sea King helicopters and you have any symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath or unexplained chest pain, make sure you speak to your GP.
We were reassured to see the case of the poor lads who died during SAS selection back in 2013 finally make it to court martial. Cpl James Dunsby, L. Cpl Craig Roberts, and Trooper Edward Maher died of heat exhaustion during a 16-mile march, in the Brecon Beacons, Wales. A tragic loss of three young lives and we hope to see justice done.
Finally on a lighter note, please make sure that the ammunition you give to little old ladies to lovingly polish ISN’T live! We do love these stories when they pop up but it would be remiss of us not to urge caution…
Let us know what you think about these stories or any others that have caught your eye recently over on our Facebook page.
Drop us a line on [email protected] if there’s anything you’d like us to add to this newsletter.
Regards,
The Team

Joke: Out of petrol
A man is driving down the road and runs out of petrol. A few moments later, a bee flies in his window.
“What seems to be the problem?” asks the bee.
“I’m out of gas,” the man replies.
The bee tells the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watches as an entire swarm of bees fly to his car and into his gas tank.
After a few minutes, the bees fly out.
“Try it now,” says the bee.
The man turns the ignition key and the car starts right up.
“Wow,” the man exclaims. “What did you put in my gas tank?”
“BP,” says the bee.
