The young lad had 'relations' with his own pillow and then swapped it for his mates pillow, he was later discharged with a 2 year ban on reapplying. An officer had to phone his mum to explain the reasons why... Awkward!!!

Thanks we watched this again tonight on the magic box that they call iplayer...

Can't believe people still eat Puffins! Made me chuckle though as they were floating about in their absolute thousands between the Isles of Scilly & Ireland in 2014. They don't move out of the way until the last moment and then dive and pop up when you've passed. As Bushrider says "Silly Puffins"

Sad news, and that is compounded by knowing she really is the last.

Would love to get a trip there next year. 😊
