THE Scots adventurer who became the first double amputee to reach the South Pole has told how he used his prosthetic legs to help the group celebrate.

Duncan Slater, 34, a former sergeant who served with the RAF Regiment, lost both his legs after the vehicle he was travelling in was hit by an improvised explosive device in the Babaji area of Afghanistan in July 2009.

He was among 12 injured servicemen and women from the UK, US and the Commonwealth who trekked across the frozen wastes of Antarctica to reach the most southern point of the globe as part of the Walking with the Wounded expedition, which also involved Prince Harry.

Mr Slater, originally from Muir of Ord, near Inverness, said: "They took some champagne out to the pole and I used my legs as a primitive ice bucket and wedged the bottle in there and passed it around - I don't know how we did it but it went down quite well."

Mr Slater described how Harry was always at the centre of light-hearted activities, such as improvising a game of cricket or making a latrine look like a castle. There was always something, and he usually instigated it."

This spurned husband would have been served up a nasty shock along with his pint after his soon to be ex-wife announced she was divorcing him via a sign outside a bar'.

The angry woman persuaded staff at nightspot Noah's Yard in Swansea's Uplands district to put up the sign reading ‘Paul...I am divorcing you’ above the door.

Her statement was then followed up with a further message proclaiming: ‘BTW I am keeping the dog'.

The wife, who wished to remain anonymous, went into Noah’s Yard — which has a history of changing the words on its sign — on Tuesday to ask for the sign to be put up at the weekend.

She said the reason behind her doing it was to name and shame her husband after finding out he allegedly had an affair.

The enquirers local school displays a sign on the main gate advising parents that the use of mobile phones on site is banned for reasons of health and safety. The enquirer would be happy to accept a simple school policy ruling and felt that health and safety was being used as a poor excuse.

Panel decision

There are a number of possible reasons why a school might decide to ban the use of mobile phones - although any connection with 'health and safety' is tenuous. Choosing to explain its policy in this way via a sign on the school gate does nothing to help pupils and parents understand the reason(s) for the ban in this school. It would be better for all concerned if the specific reason for the school's policy was made clear rather than use health and safety as an excuse.
