Now there is no need for that. If we want abusive homo-erotic innuendo, we can simply wait around until SofeckingDim gets home from his Big Issue duties.

I think the army is where you put the kids from school that were good at the assault course but needed Velcro shoes because of the complicated tightening mechanism.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. By the way, you can thank the British Armed Forces for that entitlement.

Haven't you got a sheep to worry?

Nah I'm waiting for the Killer Rabbits that mauled those 2 kids to show themselves

Whereas the wheezy-chested, flat-footed sorts were sent to various Unis, in a vainglorious attempt to collect many pointless bits of paper. An initiative largely beset with tragedy.

Actually I did know of a total dweeb at school who was flat footed and could never stop talking about the army. I think he got in the TA and ended up in one of their 'elite teams', last time I met him he was wibbling about using less rounds from your gun so you do not have to clean it so much.

Anyway, I am over 6 foot, used to swim for Glasgow and run marathons. Do have asthma though.

Ventolin is very useful on marathon races. If you can get a doctors certificate, sports legal too!

Ventolin is a complete miracle drug, 30 seconds after taking a puff it works.

Just wish they could get something that works that well for my knees. They have gone now I think.

Just to get this thread back on topic:

I've been to the Somme twice now, it's a very sobering place. Delville Wood and the Pals memorials near Railway Hollow particularly stick in my mind. Newfoundland Memorial Park is also worth a visit if you are ever in that neck of the woods...
