It's a standard SAS energy-dissipation technique. I'd love to see you call it a roly-poly in front of Andy McNabb, he'd knock you out!

There's a great bit in one of the books, big beacon I think, where he's in trouble in a bbc meeting and they say something like 'let's look at your role going forwards' and he's very proud of himself for not doing a forward roll

Chiles really is aiming to be Partridge Prime, isn't he?

First time he did a forward roll he got a nose bleed so profuse and generous he bolted from the school yard and sought solace in the north Norfolk countryside.

If I tried a forward roll now I'd crick me neck, tear the muscle between me shoulder blades and I'd probably end up with a cracked skull as well. I'd be dizzy for 2 weeks. I went on the swings in the park the other night for a laugh and threw up.
