Viking Warrior

Alps dear boy . Only mocking your statement as the way it's written it's easy to see that it could be no command structure . For someone with no military experience you seem to know an awful lot . You didn't mention anything about military hospitals . Also which corp or regiment has most VC's and double vc's

Oh I have experineced two major military reductions in my service career. During my service career I have seen the reduction of at least 15 Army Hospital closed and not including the RAF or Navy ones Now we have none apart from Selly Oak and that is not really a military hospital just a military wing to selly oak Our military assets are next to nothing these days Its not only the regiments that get hammered in these situations. Glad to see my friend Capt Mannering has not done hs homework again. PS My dad served with the Argylls in Malaya

would reduce the RN to sailors and ships-only, the Army to soldiers ahh so no officers generals, admirals ore air marshalls. And if Sir Alex of Salmond gets his way Scots back independence, the First Minister said the coalition government’s defence review plan of one naval base, one air base and one mobile armed brigade was “exactly the configuration” required for Scotland. Such a set-up would total about 15,400 troops, an armed force of an equivalent size to that of Kuwait. and no nucleur submarines So there will not be many scottish regiments left. For the History Buffs. 1A&SH did well in Aden as well under mad mitch.

would liked to have seen Rickie in as one of the over aged player far better than the three chosen

Does he know something we dont "And Southampton have big ambitions. With the new investor they want the same as Manchester City."

I thought Steve Bull played for wolves. looks like he has let himself go like David Hirst

FloridaMartin wrote I'm not quite sure what this obseesion with pace is all about Personnally I thought Hale was the better comedian

British Leyland

Charming Man This situation is significantl differnet from the welsh guards and luggershal These serviceman were doing a dress rehearsal for one of thier fallen comrades. and only went into browns due to the rain and to have a tea or coffee before the actual funeral

Glasgow Saint If i see him, i will ask him! Glasgow He will be selling the Big Issue in Argle street

Is there any truth in the rumour that some of those that form the trust are on benefits and therefore it is us taxpaying fans that will end up saving the skates from extinction? No the Portmouth liquidation front

I cannot make judgement on any of the england players as i didnt watch them once. My boycott of the England team continues Hoddle and vegatables you have a lot to answer for

Strange thread title again . I thought it was another knock a saints player thread . Hy not is our SRL could enough for England . The answer for me is yes . He has an Alround game . Holds the ball up sets other players up . Defends . Is determined . His positional play is brilliant oh and he scores goals with both feet and his head . Yep for me should be in the England squad

Excellent program shame they only dig for three days .

This forums motto . The club is **** and you no you are . . If I had a motto that Is appropriate to the club then that would be "in Arduis fidelis " for those don't know see my paving slap outside the main entrance of SMS .

Phone the club simples

I know who to blame. A dentist and her entourage from Orkney. Its now pleasant up here PS Im playing midnight golf tonight. I hope it stays light given the nights are now closing in on us poor folk on the remote isles

mido one of the most arrogant and egotistical footballers we have been involved with since eyal berkovic tossers

Im not concerned about the lack of transfer activity at the moment As every one is on holiday or at the Euro's I dont expect to see much activity tell next month. Im more than sure we have new players coming in. including a goalkeeper, centre half etc Just relax fellow posters. PS I was tempted to take the tasty morsel that was dangled but I have just had a bounty bar !!!!

Playing midnight golf tomorrow

1. 27 (but it helps me in match play ( Im often called a bandit) 2. I hope the ball goes straight down the fairway 3. Have you thought about taking up caddying

This guy has something to hide. If he is so innocent of the charges why dosent he just go to sweden and let natural justice take place. He is as bad as quatada and abil hanza using human rights etc to protest about their innocence and that their human rights have been infringed. The clerics should have been kicked out years ago

Alps yes the trooping of the colour is a foot guards parade hence reason not wearing uniform .Andrew lays a wreath at the cenotaph wearing his naval uniform. He has the rank of commander and is also an honorary vice admiral . Anne also wears a naval uniform. I met the duke of Westminster a few weeks back he is an maj gen and wore his afghan combats and dessie boots

Alps only in your small mind do I have a pop at you on all your posts. Not true. On the football threads I have a pop at you because you are ultra negative about saints and when It comes to the lounge. I have agreed with you on some aspects if you did your research. As for this thread this is about you having a pop at the military and royalty. I swore my allegience to the queen and I stand by that . I make no apologies to you about your constant jibes about the military etc , You seriously offended me about your comment re powder monkeys and stokers. As I said previously my girlfriends father's brother was on HMS Martin and lost his life when it got hit off Noth Africa. Harold Athawes Stoker 1st Class. I worked in a recruiting office in london in the early 80's and I was fully aware of the requirements for people to become officers which ever the three services they wished to join. If it was specific to Navy or RAF I would then pass them to my colleagues for those services.
