So did you get rescued, or make your own way out, or would you rather not talk about it. Must have been a challenging situation.
We got rescued by the Royal engineers in a Frog (CET) and 2 Warriors from the 1st Batt Coldstream Gds,
My co-driver was Capt David Green, the gards Padre, when we first got hijacked his first words were, "Quickly, give me a run down on how your gun works, just incase you get slotted !"
It was inbetween Gorni Vakuf and Vitez at a narrow very sharp bend on a steep down hill section called Bon Bon Corner. There was a blockade across the road, then 200 locals turned up behind us, then another 200 the otherside of the blockage.
In the convoy there was a fuel truck, alandrover and me in a 4 ton bedford MJ. all the locals wanted was fuel as it was winter time. unfortunatly the fuel truck was empty and going to the fuel depo in Vitez. All I had on bord was 40 pairs of Dirty Coveralls... They got nicked and my canvas got slashed with knives, machettes and swords.
When the engineers turned up they just smashed through the blockade and the two warriors took up possitions either end of the convoy and escorted us to Vitez. the road was closed for 4 days, so I had 4 days off. bonus.

Although it has its quirky good points, of being able to bend in stupid places, the bad points are that my shoulders are shagged from gymnastics injuries, the joints are completely instable..... I'm vunerable to things breaking easy, i'm very likely to get osteoporosis, a vertebrae cracked years ago gives me constant niggles, and my muscles are so stretched I don't have to do much to damage them...in fact I'm like a little old lady. but i can still wrap my legs round my head ooo er, or even lay on my chest and bend my spine and hips right over so my feet are next to my ears:takeabow:..phnar but don't ask me to do it, I'll probably snap something!:( but its fun to still be able to do it at my age!

1) I've been playing drums since I was 8 years old
2)I strained all the tendons in my thumb catching a rugby ball (Yes I did drop it!! :smt019:-D)
3) The next day, I was playing football, went up for the ball getting knocked over in the process... turned away from my right thumb to protect it and landed on my left collar bone and broke it :rolleyes:
4) I find it much easier to talk to adults than I do to people my own age, who I don't know well
5) I fractured my ankle when I tripped over my jeans (they were very baggy to be fair) and fell over the banister. I wish I'd got that on camera :lol:

9. 3 months after turning 20 I had a complete breakdown and spent a year out of work with severe depression. I was told by a work-paid-for therapist that he couldn't help me because I had so many issues that it'd be a waste of time him trying in the limited number of sessions we had. I spent the night of my 21st birthday alone, in a park, freezing underneath a tree. I came home at 10:00 the next morning. Nobody noticed.
10. Ikea makes me ridiculously happy, even if I'm not buying anything.

Maria
1. I once got knocked out when I was about 13 - riding my push bike down a very steep hill near Berkhamsted common. I crashed at the bottom.
2. I was once on a submarine and could hear under water weapons passing down the side - they hadn't been fired by our side...as it were.:smt103
3. I hate swimming. I swim like a brick. I could win the world wide record at swimming downwards if I could hold my breath for long enough. In addition I do not enjoy swimming. At all.
4. I get a bit emotional when I see a musical
5. I was nearly adopted by a Yorkshire farmer but my mum changed her mind (bless!).
6. I once knocked out a teacher, because he told the entire class something I'd asked him not to share. Lost my trust of people, didn't go to school for a fortnight. I'm still wary of trusting people.
7. My mum and her brothers all suffer from mental illnesses, courtesy of their step mother. Her two brothers have been homeless, lived with us, both are sectioned at the moment. Mum has gone AWOL lots of times, had flashbacks and screamed so badly the neighbours called the police. Ive lived with mostof my relatives and friends when mum has been bad.
8. I have a recurring nightmare of seeing my mum after she jumped off a car park roof.
9. I have difficulty controlling my anger. When I get wound up it takes a long time for me to calm down. I don't get angry often though.
10. I love cooking.
The most recent legal names I've been known as(not incl. middle names), from earliest:
Dirk Foster
Dirk Welsh
**** Kinvig
Dirk Kinvig
Justin John.
The last one wasn't my fault. I only discovered that was who the Russians were expecting when I got to Budapest in Hungary. So at the borders/checkpoints/hotels/traffic police stops I had to be Justin John. All because of some official at the Russian Embassy in London.
**** Kinvig wasn't my fault either.
EDIT: For some reason the shorterned form of Richard has been ****'ed out!
3. I have spent over 27 hours being tattooed.
4. I am naked on the internet, and tried my hand at stripping for a while before I realised the error of my ways and quit.
I, for one, would like to know more.

2. I was part of an 8 man humanitarian team in the Republic of Yemen which was illegally detained and subsequently escaped. We have been unable to establish if we are still wanted.
3. I shot a childhood friend of mine in the head with an air rifle. Deliberately. My scars are mental, his are physical.
4. I was converted to Christianity by an Argentinian evangelist. I converted myself back again without assistance.
5. I have abandoned ship. Women and children first, the whole thing. That was a pretty exciting day.
