Mostly RAF isn't it?Originally posted by minestrone View PostWhat about the 3,200 in Cyprus? There for the sun and wine?
The Prime Minister is talking to three Senior NCOs; one from each of his
fighting forces.
He asks each one what they would do if they woke up and found a deadly
Camel spider in their tent on desert deployment?
Army Sergeant : "I'd reach over, grab my bayonet and stab it to death!"
Navy PO : "I'd reach over, grab my sea boot and batter it to death !"
RAF Sergeant : "I'd reach over, pick up my 'phone, call reception and ask
"who the feck put a tent up in my hotel room?"Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

They are supposed to be there with a long standing agreement with the Cypriots being if the island is attacked the British would defend the island however, when the Turks invaded the British flew out all British air defence and the instead the troops stood and watched. The Cypriots want the British out for braking the agreementOriginally posted by minestrone View PostWhat about the 3,200 in Cyprus?

You also need to inspect the development methodologies, processes etc.. So it is not enough to just reverse engineer the code.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
