tim hunt Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thanks for sharing Roger, a genuine one off, rather like you! I was lucky enough to see V.B. live in the early 90s when Sue and I were on holiday in San Diego. He played to a full and very appreciative multi-national audience, his humour transcending any barriers. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
little jim Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Towards the end of my posting in RAAF Butterworth, 1962, I applied to do a pilot's course. This involved a medical and the various psychological tests, mostly borrowed from the RAF and not updated since WWII. Because they hadn't had a dentist apply for a flying course before, they attached me down to Kuala Lumpur to to the same stuff again. This was followed a week or two later by repeating the exercise at RAF Changi in Singapore, medical and psych tests. By now I knew that Gainsborough painted the Blue Boy, and knew a few other answers in the psych tests, and was altering my responses as to whether I loved my father or mother better at 14yrs old. (Just for the hell of it.) When I got back to Australia, I got attached down to Sydney and went through it all yet again. I was starting to get a bit p**sed off by now, and the doctor doing the medical told me all about the Air Force while he did the medical, and I knew he was a civvie not a RAAF medico,. After a while he started getting on my 'wick' and I was looking forward to getting out of there. After several of the routine checks he asked me to bend over and pull my cheeks apart. I thought " 'For Chr88t's sake what's this all about." So I grabbed my cheeks, and pulled them apart at the same time as I bent over. He then explained which 'cheeks' he wanted pulled apart. (Fell at the first hurdle -the 25hr test. Back to the surgery) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
