No, me neither.

Lurks beneath the surface, strikes without warning and occassionally machine guns the survivors.

And is regarded as a danger to the merchant navy

At a similarly wanky training course I did in the 90s, we were told that workers were either 'Dinosaurs' (slow, ponderous, stuck in their ways) or 'Dolphins' (intelligent, agile and adaptable). When asked, I told them that my team were definitely Dolhpins… Pleased to hear this, they asked me why I had such a high opinion of my co-workers... "They're wet, fishy and grin inanely all the time..."

Abandoning that part of the course, the 'facilitator' (ugh!) then got us out in the fresh air for some team-building exercises... All of which I'd done a hundred times before in RAF officer training and then with cadets... We did them all in half an hour and spent the rest of the four hours allocated for the task in the bar. That's proper teamwork and leadership, that is...

Anyway, what was the topic again...?

I managed to reduce an industrial psych to drink in 4 days.

Yes indeed - that was their plan for us, but one of the exercises had a 'cheat' meaning that it could be accomplished in 30 seconds with a single length of rope.

Some Middle Earth RPG material for background reading.

Nice, which RPG ?

I need a foundry trip for some 28mm SYW because I did a little cock up my Grenadiers

Grenadiers are stoic, and will probably not even feel it if it's small Purps.

5e AiME stuff GM.
