"Walt" is a common phrase beloved within the U.K. Special Forces community for a non badged soldier who is a fantasist. Derived from the character Walter Mitty.

But I suspect Walt Walt knows that. From his time with the SAS, before he became an ITK god.

I've always known a Walter Mitty (prior to the popularisation of the film) to a be a bullshitter who pretends they've been in the Army and goes round making up stories to support it.

One lad in my social circle when I was younger (teens) was the only one of us not to sign up, but he'd be telling everyone (on nights out) he'd been to Iraq. We'd get in a taxi (without him) and the driver would be like "Is your mate back from Afghanistan yet? Last time I saw him he said he was going out there as a sniper". Bellend.
 
In a perfect world we reveal Osumane Dembele (Who's a tottenham fan to some degree) this week.

Granted it is 90% probably not happening if Barca got his claws in him. But it would be nice

We're not talking about Back To The Future and Back To The Future 2 here. Godfather 2 holds up as an amazing film and goes toe to toe with the first movie. Better than the first? Maybe not. Gets pissed on by the first? Absolutely not.

I think were talking 'Empire Strikes Back'-type phenomena here... Better part of the story arc, but where would we be without the one before it?

Always felt G2 suffered form being first a prequel then a sequel. They should have made two films, G2 & G3.

Don't know if this is common practice or not but to mark some anniversary or other, Spanish TV showed a re-edited linear version of 1 and 2 over three or four nights, worked really well

He was a right fucking cringe. He had an apprenticeship with a company that fitted cables, with a client that included the police. Cue him telling girls on a night out he was a fucking policeman. Sometimes he'd turn to me and say things like "Remember that Ferrari I had?".

A mate of mine was one of those police community support officers in his spare time for a year or so - used to flash his badge around all the time, thought he was Will Smith in Bad Boys. :dembelelol:

Sounds like this cunt I worked for when I first went to Spain. Had a picture of a stunning girl on the wall, reckoned it was his ex, gave it the big one as to how he had to finish with her for some reason or other. Then it got knocked off the wall, the back came off the frame and it turned out to have been cut out of Vogue.

Used to tell "amusing" anecdotes about himself which always ran out of gas as he couldn't keep up the bull shit. He'd end up saying "...and... and... and I don't remember what happened next but I was very cool and everyone liked me"
