He should be applauded that lad. To lose your legs at the age of 17 must have caused some real psychological damage and yet 3 years later he's achieved that challenge. 

Good on him.

I didn’t read the article and so knew nothing about it to be fair mate. That’s not what I was noting. Just a throwaway comment, given the modern use of the word.

It's not in Britain, if that's any help.

NT snacks. Web site is .com.au

NT = Northern Territory. Darwin probably or Alice Springs.

The chocolates would be the only things the endoscope could grab and manouvre down the shoot.

Pretty impressive piece of skill.If I needed an endoscopy, the culprit would be a good choice.

I've nearly given myself a hernia watching this on repeat. I know I shouldn't laugh as she looks like she could be about ninety, but I just can't help losing mys hit everytime I watch it.

 

I'm all over the place here I can't breath

See her? That's me that is.

 

I was on one of those. Some place in Taipei. There really was nothing to it. There was me, a VR headset in my hand, and I'm at one end of a three metre long wobbly plank set on the floor. The VR headset goes on and I'm immersed in a VR world. I'm on the rooftop of a 80-storey high burning building and there's a load of zombies (yes, really) emerging onto the roof to kill me. I'm at the parapet. In front of me is a rickety kind of broken fire escape that juts out from the building into mid-air, about three metres long. In reality, this is the wobbly plank. All I have to do is walk along the rickety fire escape. 

 

COULD I LIKE FUCK DO IT. I'm looking down and the road is far below, cars, people, the lot. The fella is like (adopt mad Chinesey-type accent) "Sir. Is ok. Prease just walk arong." I am fucking immobile. Then he grabs hold of me and walks me along what I knew three minutes ago was a wobbly plank on the floor, but is now a real fire escape jutting out into thin air miles above the ground. My legs were jelly. Took me ages. The plank is wobbling but to me it's the fire escape for real.

 

At the end of this fucking plank, a rescue helicopter comes over to get me. It hovers about a metre from the end of this fire escape. All I have to do is step across the void and into the helicopter. Not a fucking chance. The fella's going "Is ok, is ok." Is it like fuck OK. He eventually took the headset off me and I was like a wreck for fifteen minutes.   

 

VR is the future.

I've heard that the best endoscopists work Down Under.

And there I’d been thinking that references like that are much rarer on the forum than they used to be. Hang your head in shame, Nowt

Don’t need VR, just need to read you describing VR. I was fucking immersed in that.
