I'm not sure what's going on here - spotted on Faceache.
Video starts with only the rear wheels spinning then HiVi Heros come along to push - maybe without locky diffs, when the rear loses traction the front doesn't do anything??
I guess the tow line on the back is because they were trying to tow something else out rather than they were being towed out backwards.

To be honest, I would have gone out the exact gate that I wanted to go out of and informed the ‘Collaberator in Waiting’, potential ‘Death Camp Operator’ (CiW & PDCO in swan fondler speech of this simple fact as I walked past him. Had he then started a physical assault then I’d have just called the Police to report an assault and a false imprisonment by a park weirdo in fancy dress.
Go one further, when he tries to stop you, make a citizens arrest for false imprisonment.

Centre diff on a X-Trail locks, but the front and rear diffs are open, so drive will only go to the wheel with least resistance when stuck. They are also FWD by default, even in 4WD auto which sends power back if it senses wheel slip.

Over the weekend, man in fatigues carrying the wreath at a ceremony (Harlequins rugby on Saturday, if anyone else was there), I noticed his cap badge was Royal Engineers, I asked him where he did his training, 'St Omer Barracks' said he. Oh, that's a Catering Corps barracks said I, yes, I transferred to the REs when I came back into the Reserves, he said.
Is that right, can you do that?

Depends on the "training" about which you ask. And also upon when they were in "basic training".Is that right, can you do that?
Time was you did your basic soldiering training 'In Corps', but nowadays there are a couple of centralised 'Common Military Syllabus' locations where all soldiers go through basic soldiering training (Phase 1) together.
So it's quite possible for a Sloppo to transfer to the Her Majesty's Glorious Corps of Royal Engineers, especially if there is a reshuffle going on in army manning, and the one Corps/trade is overmanned, and the other Corps/trade is undermanned. They'll move because it benefits the service, not necessarily the individual.
The "but" comes with special-to-arm (Phase 2) training. Any soldier transferring from one Corps to another must go through Phase 2 training, so a RLC Chef coming into the RE will have to go to Gibraltar Barracks, near Camberley, to be trained as a Combat Engineer. Even as a Reservist, this would be true, as the old "TA" courses were (multiple) weekend affairs, or occasionally the soldier in question could be placed on a "term time" Regular Army Combat Engineer course, which would also qualify the TA soldier for his/her annual bounty payment, in place of their two-week "camp".
I've worked with several soldiers over the years who transferred. Infantry to Engineers. Engineers to Signals. RLC to Engineers. Intelligence Corps to Dental Corps to Military Police. Some transferred because they wanted to move to the first choice Corps but there weren't vacancies when they joined, some because they were flannelled at the recruiting office and soon realised it wasn't what they were "sold", and some because they got their first choice wrong, and having served with another Corps they decided they liked it better.
Caveat: I've been out since 2012, so I'm not familiar with any changes to rules on transfers since then. But it did happen, more often than you'd realise. And there would be delays, too, in getting qualified in their new trade. The wheels of bureaucracy, as always...
ETA: This chap... https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/sas-... ...enlisted in the REME and served for ten years before transferring to the RAOC. He then went on to quite a career in the SAS, apparently having completed Selection at the ripe old age of 36.

Another reptile, bloating as airborne. This one is stupid enough to be on actual vet’s Bookface groups as well. Check those photos out
He Can’t even get his Maroon machine on properly ( although that by itself wouldn’t necessarily scream ‘not a Para’)

He Can’t even get his Maroon machine on properly ( although that by itself wouldn’t necessarily scream ‘not a Para’)Couldn't quite decide whether this fits in this thread or the Management Speak one but someone I work with added me on Linked In. Under his bio he calls himself, among other things, and "Occupational Hygienist".
Apparently its like a health an safety type role. Which is nothing like what he does. Hes a f
king idiot so I have decided hes trying to make himself sound more important than he is and so is a Walt.

I had a watch of this last night. So many things which were hilarious1) Mr T using some random yellow stick breathyliser to see if someone can come into a club. Alleging that they will lose their license if someone who is "over the limit" is allowed in.
2) Mr T allowing a woman to assault her friend and literally doing nothing. Police turned up (after the female rang them) and then dumped the woman in a massive puddle when she kicked out again
3) The "Mobile Bouncers" with a duty of care to a homeless bloke who wasnt responsive. Roused him, rang an ambulance and then drove off. So much for the duty of care.

1) This AFAIK correct same with bar staff serving someone who is obviously drunk can be fined, not actually seen it happen though
2) Were they inside or outside the bar/club? Outside is Police responsibility unless they are assaulting staff or damaging property
3) Can't comment

1) unless licensing are stood watching then unlikely to be relieved of a license for a drink person. Especially given everyone inside is likely to be arsed2) looked like it was club premises. I suspect if it was man hitting women they would have got stuck right in. All doorstaff I have met will happily jump into the street to get involved

It always used to be very difficult removing/restraining women as you'd get a slew of allegations from them, even harder in todays world I imagine
There are still a lot of bad apples in the industry unfortunately but I wouldn't do the job these days anyway, too much hassle for not enough pay
