you could argue that, but it depends if you want a short term hit, or long term sustainability! Quoted from Stephen Dank, sports medicine professional:-)

They have been called patty cakes since as far back as 1765.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The earliest recorded version of the rhyme appears in Thomas D'Urfey's play The Campaigners from 1698, where a nurse says to her charges:

...and pat a cake Bakers man, so I will master as I can, and prick it, and prick it, and prick it, and prick it, and prick it, and throw't into the Oven.

The next appearance is in Mother Goose's Melody, (c. 1765), in the form:

    Patty Cake, Patty Cake,
    Baker's Man;
    That I will Master,
    As fast as I can;
    Prick it and prick it,
    And mark it with a T,
    And there will be enough for Tommy and me

Which is the most boring thing to watch:

1. Paint drying
2. Golf
3. Test cricket

Or is it the other way around?

Which is the best service Army, Navy or Air Force,??
Just caught up with this thread after Bird revived it  :cup:

Comment from a Vietnam infantryman - Air Force is the best service by far. Why? Because the digger's all stay home at base & send the officers out to fight!

That's the reason I joined the RAAF back in 1972, that and the recruiting film showing camping and white water rafting etc... got sucked in on that bit.  :-[
4.2L TD Toyota Troopy, (Clarke's Country Camper Trailer, softfloor.) sold it and bought a Avan Ray small poptop caravan.

Hi,
    RAAF Pt Cook used to do camping/rafting etc, but it was part of the officer cadet training. Any of the ranks could apply to go along as part of the organising team though.
Cheers
