Well, it finally had to happen.....

Our prodigy son has finally made the big time.  After years and years of training, his first century was achieved...

It was a very memorable occassion, Gordon going into bat as number 1 on a pleasant summer afternoon at Lords.  The UK boys were fired up for the occassion, but none of them had seen the "UNISOL" in action before...

Young Gordon opened the batting for Australia, but very quickly found himself running out of partners.  As usual, the other opener "Viper" was caught LBW for only one run.  Viper has a reputation for designing gameplay scenarios, but unfortunately his batting form has been very average.  The only double digit score was achieved against a sub standard opposition.

The number three batsman came in, as just as quickly was sent back to the pavillion for a measley 5 runs.  (Name witheld pending legal action against the poster).

That didn't phase Australia's newest sensation.  The English were throwing in bouncers, yorkers and alike....but young Gordon just used his feet well and hit them over the boundary.

Gordon and the number 4 batsman seemed to be starting a good partnership, hitting 29 runs off one over, but alas number 4 went for a pathetic 6 runs, due to a poor cut shot that found a thick edge and floated down to the 3rd man for an easy catch. 

Next  to the crease was the number 5 batsman.  Clearly embarrassed by his teams perfromance and wanting to impress, he went wild and slogged 11 runs in only 9 deliveries, but unfortunately on delivery number 10 he was clean bowled.

Of course Gordon was still in.

Throughout the afternoon, our favourite son hit fours and sixes off of seemingly perfect deliveries.  With a swashbuckling style that would make Errol Flynn jealous, he carved up the opposition bowling with ease.

Then came the nervous period.  He was sitting on 98 for what seemed an eternity.  The OPFOR bowlers were giving him the best they could.

And then came the shot....

A well delivered ball pitched between middle and leg that would trouble most batsmen, but not Gordon.  He skipped down the pitch and with a cracking shot, lofted the ball over mid-off for a remarkable six.  A drunken Liverpudlian with one hand on a Carlsberg managed to take the catch - unfortunately he was 12 rows up and not part of the team.

The crowd erupted!  Both BLUFOR and OPFOR spectators applauded this fine innings.  Gordon raised his bat (which looked suspiciously like an M4) and waved to the crowd.

Not surpsing, he was awarded man of the match for  this amazing runsheet.  (other players names deleted due to current court action)

It's no surprise that the lads in the team call him UNISOL.  Short for Universal Soldier....

For those of you that couldn't make the game, here is a pic of our very own UNISOL....

Let's all raise our glasses for a truly remarkable effort....... :thumbsup:

He's an animal!

Speaking of that, I guess no camels got killed in the incident?

The law doesn't appreciate camel shagging I guess.  :D

Maybe in some countries.....at least there is the 2% out there for the boys...;)

Reminds me of an old, but funny story....hear about the young Aussie Officer posted in the middle east for the first time?

Just come straight out of Duntroon (officer School in AUS) and his first posting is a camp in the desert, which is literally miles away from the nearest town. He gets dropped off by an S70 Blackhawk and after reporting to his new CO, is shown around the place by his Platoon Sergeant.

His Pltn Sgt, a seasoned vet, shows him all the usual places of interest while walking through the camp.....

"Sir, here's Digs the mess, over to your left is the Officers mess, to your right is the Head Shed...er...I mean the Company HQ, at your six is where your platoon puts their heads down, further North is your tent, over to the east is where the Sigs spend most of their time..." etc etc.

The new officer looks around as his Sergeant is speaking and notices one tent has been left out of the induction...a tent that seems to be a fair distance away from the camp.

"What's in that tent over there?" Seargent, as he points to the tent with quite a large opening.

The Sergeant looks a bit embarrassed and replies "Before I tell you sir, you need to realise that the digs are a long way from home and miles away from the nearest village"...he goes on "Most of the riflemen are young blokes sir....and well, young blokes away from women for such a long time have...well....let's just say, certain "urges" to satisfy.

The young officer understands where his new Sgt is heading and to show he is part of the team and eager to create unity within his platoon blurts out...

"Don't be embarrassed Sgt. I understand what you're trying to explain. We all indeed are a long way from home and like the old saying goes...what happens away from home, stays away from home"...He winks at the Sgt. to show he's no prude and that he approves of this type of behaviour.

With that, he strides away towards the tent and adds..."Come on, show me what keeps my men satisfied".

The Sgt tries to talk the new LT out of inspecting the tent, but he won't hear none of it. It's his first day in charge of a platoon and he wants to really make an impression. He thinks to himself, whats all the fuss about....so what if there is a couple of whores in the tent? I want to show the men I am one of them and not some textbook officer that drinks Chardonnay at BBQ's.

He makes it to the tent before his Sgt and whips open the tent flap...only to be horrified. :o

Inside the tent he sees no women of the night....but instead, stands a fully grown female Camel!!!!

He feels sick to his stomach, but doesn't let it show. He takes a few deep breathes and replies.."OK Seargent, carry on...I think I'll go and settle in to my tent." and with that, makes a quick beeline to his quarters.

Much time passes and the new officer can't help noticing that every Friday night, one of his riflemen, dressed in civ's, shaved and showered makes their way to the camel's tent just after sunset. On all occassions when the next morning comes, the dig in question seems to be stress-free, happy and has a new "spring in their step". However disgusting this thing sounds, it certainly appears to keep the men's morale high.

Nine months pass and the officer is getting a bit frisky himself. He's been in the desert for a long time and is sick of wacking off to Myer catalogues. He downs a few Johnny Walkers straight to build up the dutch courage and heads for the tent.

<insert 70's style, base guitar slappin', porn music here>

The next morning, he feels like a load has been lifted off his shoulders...With a new spring in his step he meets his Sgt for morning orders and at the coffee urn gives the sarge a wink and remarks....

"Finally succumbed to the temptation and visited the tent last night sarge"

The sarge looked surprised, but added "good for you sir"

The LT continues, realising now is a great opportunity to really bond with his NCO and his platoon....."Yeah, at first I was disgusted by even the thought of doing it, but after a while I thought - what the hell, all the men seem to be doing it and who am I to break a desert tradition?"

The Sgt nods with a smile and the LT continues.....

"Yeah, it was difficult at first but once I used an ammo crate to get more height, I managed to get some really good action going"

The Sgt now looked a bit confused....."an ammo crate Sir? Why did you need an ammo crate?"

"Well the damn Camel wasn't going to lie down and make it easy for me, was she? He added chuckling......

The Sarge's smile immediately dissapears. He takes a long skull of his Coffee and just before walking away adds.....

"That's very nice Sir. But usually the men use the Camel to ride into town to the local brothel"......................

:o:o:o
