Title: Escape to the Legion - Channel 4 Post by: Kinky Tom on Monday, July 4, 2005, 20:40:01 Why do people do it?
Title: Escape to the Legion - Channel 4 Post by: McLovin on Monday, July 4, 2005, 21:00:48 Don't people run away to the foreign legion if they kill someone, or something like that?
Title: Escape to the Legion - Channel 4 Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, July 4, 2005, 22:28:51 yeah, all sorts. A friend of mine was in the foreign legion, fuck knows why, cause he had done nothing wrong.
He has stories that would make anything anyone has done seem like nothing, you feel like a proper pussy round him! Solitary confinement, jail, beatings and numerous other things were dished out just for being ill! Anyway, he went AWOL and was trying to get out of france for nearly 6 months. He will go down hard if he ever sets foot in france again. Title: Escape to the Legion - Channel 4 Post by: Tails on Monday, July 4, 2005, 22:36:47 What was it about?

You gotta be hard as feck or mentally insane to want to do that sort of thing. I did kinda think fair play to them though. Hope a few of them make it!

Title: Escape to the Legion - Channel 4 Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, July 5, 2005, 13:46:20 I reckon we should send Igoe there for pre-season training, then give him a contract, then he'd know about hard work.
