Hehehe...tins.

This is the funniest thing I have read in my life and that is the truth.

Fave line:

They didn't know that I WANTED TO DIE.

I came back from my bronze expedition 2 days ago and I'm still washing leaves out of my hair...

OH MY GOD! THIS IS BASICALLY EXACTLYY WHAT HAPPENED ON MY D OF E

Our tent fell down in the middle of the night during a snowstorm, all our food and clothes were soaked, someone tore a tendon and we couldn't call anyone because there was no signal, I got a leech stuck to my ankle and couldn't figure out how to take it off, and eventually when we got through our teacher had to pick us up because the storm was so bad we couldn't walk.

He said it was the worst luck of any Bronze candidates since 15 years ago, when someone got mauled by a sheep.

Brilliant story!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this story... me and my friends do DofE and we kinda love it (except for stupidly large rucksacks and long walking trails) but this cracked me up and made me think of some of the funny stuff that's happened, haha! x

So Funny! I laughed all the way through it. And I meam funny in a good way, not that your torture was good, it was bad, but... oh never mind ' What I'm trying to say is, I've gone through something similar to that. A Pioneer reenactment(sp?) A mini pioneer trek to et a bare minimal of what it was like for the pioneers to croos the Great Plains in the US.

Well, I cant ewait to start reading more of your stuff - Y

During several times in this story I could not help but laugh at your pain and then my family started looking at me funny... But this was an awesome recarnation of a horrible experiance and I loved it!

*Applause* Very very funny! Well done!

Hehe, this is even funnier than the first part. I love mocking other people's pain, especially when they write it so well! Mwahaha! (That was a compliment by the way ) You aren't the only pyromaniac around - on our actual expedition a couple of weeks ago my foolish team mates set fire to a match box and poured meths all over it...needless to say it nearly caused a forest fire.

This IS amusing! I love the 'I WANTED TO DIE' bit with the car. I just did my DOE too...ah, memories - our group was 5 hours late to the campsite and our evil (at least yours were cheery!) and were lost in Shere in the dark -SCARY- and as it was March our tents froze over. Then on the 2nd day we rounded a corner on this path up a hill and there were these people riding llamas. No. Really. Sorry, I'm rambling... this is good!

I have absolutely no idea what DOE is, but the Author formerly known as HVK has some consoling words:

CURSE YOU, DOE! CURSE YOU!

And finally, here's a bit of advice; never trust a talking spigot.

Oh, how I pity you.

CURSE YOU, PARANOID MILITARY! CURSE YOU!

Loved it! Wonderful as usual.

"drinking this Diet Coke has to be better than sex"

That said everything. Brilliant.

Poor you. I can relate. My mom is TOTALLY OBSESSED with stuff like DOE. *cough cough, makes sore throat worse* Ouch... stupid cold...
