* [[ColonelBadass Lieutenant Colonel Badass]]: Don't let his middle age and love of creature comforts fool you; the Lieutenant Colonel still has the action prowess to cling to the side of a moving truck, climb a wall, zip-wire across to his office, land safely from a four metre drop, plant the key, and be back to the bemused padre in less than two minutes, without breaking a sweat. He also breaks out a shotgun in defence of his tulips.

You know why they're called booby traps, Simon?! [Simon starts to speak] Shut up! They're called booby traps because they get trodden on by tits, like you! If you do not stay on the path, you will get blown to Shittingdom come and we will need two dozen body-bags to ship you back to a fiancée who is bafflingly in love with someone with fewer brain cells than BOLLOCKS! [punches Simon in the shoulder] Get your shit together, lance corporal, and stop acting like a useless fucking geriatric - another mistake like this could invoke considerably more than a gigantic bollocking.
