Thedelldays

we are going to do it....hudders and posh are expecting us to drop points here...a win here and we will have one foot in the NPC

nothing knee jerk about my comment....anything to do with a faslane based SM is nothing but major trouble with the hippies...

this is such and age old argument. there were talks that we would get MP5s..like the MOD police...small, closer range weapons..but an SA80 on a submarine is quite frankly stupid...saying that, it was not the fact it was an SA80 that killed someone.... then again...like I said..why the need to have armed sentries in the UK is beyond me....the amount of security around a nuclear SM is more than enough.. if you ever go to faslane....the security in place there is quite substantial as said before..there would have been a complete exclusion zone around HMS Astute....there would have been unmarked armed officers litterally minutes away and there was an MOD police patrol boat sat off seaward side....also armed...an armed sentry on the casing makes no difference......other than a visual deterent

every time I do the predictor I always get a different result.. just now I have us up on goal difference by winning the last game of the season.. I had us down for a loss at brighton..and only 1 point from the next 2 away games

when you regularly win games (which we do) you would think the games in hand would be better...

what makes it even more odd...the commanding officer who has not long been in charge was the commanding officer of HMS Tireless in 2007 when two of my mates (one of which was a very close friend) were blown up at sea and killed onboard under the polar ice cap..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/feb/12/submariner-tells-of-fight-to-save-crewmates

our lowest attendance is higher than everyone elses highest bar 2 other teams....lol

journos from the mirror have been creating Facebook accounts as RN servicemen and trying to get information about who it was involved (before the names were released)..

nice joke

my national bets.....(have no idea as I only bet on horses one a year) £5 to win on The Midnight Club - 10/1 £5 to win on State of Play - 33/1 £5 each way on Dont Push It - 10/1

haha, now you have done it

I can tell you that for many years before 9/11 we had no armed sentries in the uk. If you had them in the 80s etc probably because of PIRA then so be it

I'm answers to your questions above.. All armed sentries in the RN carry the SA80 A2 assault rifle.. A bit OTT for a submarine as so many times when conducting an armed sentry hand over you would snag the weapon and risk cocking it whilst making your way to the upper deck.. The armed sentry would have had a fully loaded magazine on his weapon but not made ready (no rounds in the chamber)... The whole armed sentry thing has been around since 9/11.. IMO, never understand why we have it in the UK.. As anywhere a sub is, home or abroad there is armed guards around it.. Take astute yesterday, armed guard from ships staff (The killer in this case). It would have had an armed reponse unit from the civvy police shore side an the MOD police would have been patrolling the water, also armed. There is even more armed security when in portsmouth or Plymouth dock yards..let alone the numerous security measure in place in faslane... Where astute is based.!!

saying that if a deal on spending cuts is not done tonight, then the obama government COULD be shut down.....it seems they need to get tough and have UK style cuts or they will go bust....or something like that something to do with abortions and welfare or something..

later on tonight.. WTF..!!!

I know that he aided the restraint of said person...everyone in the vicinity did....however, seeing as it was on his patch and he does not wear the uniform, he gets in the paper

well, it was deffo no accident, 6 shots were fired....

god, I can see close season is going to full of the same old guff....threads upon threads about the chairman/ownership

look at peterbros fixtures...after the huddersfield game, they are easily capable of winning the rest......peterbro winning is not good IMO

I would say AT LAST...at last the powers at be have finally had enough of man u doing what the hell they like...

lol at aintree ladies day.... fake tan me up

Bump

just by going what the news say..and I dont know any inside info yet...... I would say that one lad has just lost it.....had enough of some utter ****s on board and lost it.........

more than likely (just by going what you have said) that the armed sentry has shot the Weapons Engineering Officer (WEO) and the Marine Engineering officer (MEO).. they are head of departments and are the same rank as the Executive officer who is 2nd in command.. all are Leuitentant Commanders (LT CDRs)

Was that on the armarni?? Or what ever it was called..!! When they were pretending to have a dual at 10 paces???
