The Ghurkhas are hard,
Their legends are scary
Their exploits are hilarious.
We are in hong kong, they get our company and a company of ghurkhas down for medicals, we have to give sperm samples... the nurse gives the bloke in front of me the cup and says "go into that room and fill this", gives him a magazine, he goes off... just over an hour later the nurse tells me to go in and see what he is up to in there...
the boy is in there trying to fill the cup all the way to the top, so imagine if you will this 5'6 Tharu Nepali, on his chinstrap, still tossing himself off trying to fill the cup.
and the bastard had it 3/4 of the way to the top.
in the gulf we proper managed to shit up these set of yank marines - we were exchanging stories (that is, some highlanders and some yank marines), and naturally it gets on to who is the hardest - see now we know that the queens own highlanders are the hardest soldiers in the world as long as people of nepal are excluded, but these yanks wont have any of it, so we decides to prove we are, being the clever lad i am, i get myself 2 bottles of whiskey from our secret stash (the shell bay of a warrior), and i down one bottle in one swig, i manage to hold it down long enough to see the yank take a swig, get part way through the bottle and start chucking his guts out ... which i then promtly do myself,
anyway this lad from the ghurkhas saw the whole thing, comes along and asks if he can have a drink - so i gets a fresh bottle for him, says "go ahead mate" - he goes and downs it in one swig, then says "does anyone want to play a game of football" ...
so we has a game of football (while the yanks look on wondering why we are playing "sawker"), and this lad is running up and down showing off all the top end Ian Rush, Ally Macoist skills in the soberest of ways, and he never left our site.
of course the yanks are going on that its not possible and are badgering him while hes trying to play the game, so he goes over to his kit - picks up his swordy-thingy(as i always called em), and tells em if they dont go away and let us play in peace hell cut their bollocks off,
and all of a sudden you have these oh-look-how-hard-we-are-yank-marines scuttling away and terror (then again, who wouldnt).
since that day i have said again and again it was not possible that any human could do that and survive, not without a stomach pump at least ...
