    fair play to him then!

    Was it similar to the scene in Black Hawk Down when the guy missed the rope?

    thats exactly how we rip the piss out of him!!

    turns out as he was getting on board, the helicopter came under fire and the loadie had to push him out as they had to take off and he would fall a lot further if he wasnt pushed out at that time. i think he fell about 10 feet.

    the dog handler (who was climbing aboard at the same time managed to hold on for a bit and the loadie tried to rcover her but she fell a lot further and was a lot more seriously injured.

    I've noticed a lot more injured troops on the current series, also Jezza has been wearing a H4H's wristband.
    What if your dreams and fears existed in the same place? What if to get to heaven, you had to brave hell? What if everything you've ever wanted cost you everything you've ever achieved? Would you still go there?

    yeah, i noticed that too, i think jezza is a patron of the charity or summat so probs makes a few tickets available.

    tonights was a good episode!

    A lot of people seem to have the opinion that he's a tosser but from reading his books he seems to be a very patriotic bloke as shown with the Jaguar tribute the other week.

    The whole series has been quality so far.

    Next weeks episode should feature a piece on the Project Mobility guys and thier rally aspirations (filmed at the British Cross Country Championship, round 2)

    That aside, it's a f***ing hateful programme! :lol:
