I think it's fair to say that he is. I've known him for years and he's actually a really good bloke but he lost the plot today and let's face it, Baj does what he wants.

It's a very affordable gamble for an EPL club. No way we'd get him.

FFS, keep up.

We shouldn't be in Khandahar and will be out soon enough, and the whole point is to re-figure our forces as we are no longer an independent world player. It's a time for retrenchment and realignment and the army should bear the brunt.

We always rent villas or farms, depending on where we go and wouldn't dream of doing owt else but we drive instead of flying. Croatia and Montenegro offer excellent value IHMO.

Spot on. Why do we need to many armoured brigades when we don't have enough destroyers or frigates?

Ummmm, no. You are drawing conclusions from an argument I clearly haven't put forward Sea lanes aren't confined to territorial waters nor is our trade and interests.

The navy should be able to patrol and protect the sea lanes the nation needs and the air force/ fleet air arm should do the same.

I would have it solely for child killers when the evidence is stone cold and the full appeal process is complete. No sympathy, no mercy.

I've got evening athletics tickets at cost from 1st time around. Nothing currently on sale for a PM session on the same day.

I'm never seen capital punishment as a deterrent, simply retribution.

We have always had, historically, a small standing army and large navy and that is just as it should be, coupled with a good sized air force. We do not need an army configured to fight an armoured conflict on the German Plain nor should it be configured to fight in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. We are an island nation and our forces should reflect that.

It's taken them a while. Not too sharp you see.

Totally and utterly this.

Regardless, what you actually described was manslaughter. If the law was amended to allow for capital punishment then it would be cases like Sobham, Milly Dowler, Sarah Paine that the rope would be used for, or at least in VFTT land it would be and not every case, same as the USofA.

That would be manslaughter, not murder.

Child killers such as Huntley should be hung, I'd I'll happily volunteer to do it. Sometimes a crime is so heinous that the death penalty is the only fitting punishment. Not a very liberal attitude perhaps but I can live with it.

Interesting that they are abandoning the traditional approach of having land forces enough to fight two full scale independent wars simultaneously.

I believe I may be excluded from law enforcement positions.

He is indeed, but I follow him regardless.

Shanes I think, mine now and for a foolishly cheap price.

Don't think anyone is arguing otherwise.

He'll shoot he'll score he'll eat yer Labrador Tadanari Lee, Tadanar Lee.

That's the best laugh I've had in ages. Thanks for that.

@S13SFC. Chat boll oxs as a rule but find it a great tool for the news and footy gossip etc.
