You'd be surprised by the number of white skinned people collecting aboriginal handouts in Oz. Or maybe you wouldn't coming from a welfare state!
And yes I remember it, was not very successful IIRC, but I was interested in other things than TV in the 70s!

Sir David of Dalek,
In addition to the YouTube link you posted, see this: [^].
It's a 7 minute 40 second Boney segment (?). From the episode (1972): "Boney and the Payback Killer."

"What do humans depend on: words ! We're suspended in language: we can never say what's up: or, down.
We must communicate experience and ideas, but in ways that do not become ambiguous, and lose objectivity.
For parallels in human ideas to quantum theory: we must turn to psychology, or to the paradoxes of being thinkers like Buddha and Lao Tzu illuminated, when trying to grasp reality, as both observer, and actor, in human life's small-scale micro-cosmic drama."
Niels Bohr, 1937

Did you not consider a Naval career?
Seriously though, best of luck.

Even if you don't qualify, you should still get a knife.

If he does, he gets a gun. And has to take it home with him.
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

I'm sure the guns on the knife, although I can't confirm that as I haven't managed to get all the attachments out yet.

You don't have to do it. You can get the knife at most retailers. I've got one and I didn't need to sign-up.

Mandatory military service? 
Let's just say I could have used a year of my life better than being yelled at, cleaning rusty M70 AB2 guns and running around for no purpose.

Swiss military service is mandatory for all males (and voluntary for females) - but it isn't a year sqad bashing and peeling potatoes.
It lasts from 18 to 34 (or 50 in some cases) and requires military kit including weapons to be kept at home. However, after a (relatively) short training period, that is about it unless they are actually needed. (That's a vast over generalisation, I know - Wiki[^] put's it better and a lot more completely).
Odd place Switzerland - hates cars with a passion, will nick you for smoking a cigarette in public, but don't blink an eye as automatic weapons on the passenger seat. I like the place, despite the Swiss tourist board seemingly driving down each and every road to make sure it is scenic enough...

You should've got a higher rank than a normal soldier

Heh - I actually overheard a colonel asking my company commander why I wasn't promoted to a corporal and the response was that while I was a good guy and everybody liked me, I wasn't really much of a soldier. Can't say he was wrong

They will present their side of a topic. You present yours, which happens to conflict. Nothing too odd here, it's just a conversation.
This person then restates (usually exactly) what they said the first time. If you don't agree now, you are actually in an argument. This person then changes tones, mannerisms, etc to be very aparent they want to "win" and that you are , in fact, arguing instead of just talking.
This person will argue to the bone about anything. They can't even overhear something about the topic they were arguing about without coming in and stating their side all over again... WTE is that? No sides were protraid here, just "we had a discussion about x", then here they come to argue more?
