    Too right. I'd sooner have a boatload of ageing Gurkha war heroes than one feckless self-indulgent homegrown tosspot like troll. The man has raisins for a brain and the moral fibre of a custard cream!!

        I'd rather have a boatload of ageing Gurkha war heroes than the handful of feckless, fit polish crumpet working in our canteen!!

                  Do Gurkhas actually get all of these things? I didn't know that and it's a little surprising. Where do you get this info from?
