I'll alert the media!

Keep it private or publicise it. It's YOUR choice and we'll support you either way.

I respect your self identification as a soldier, and this is the thanks I get. But I forgive you, and will continue to be supportive in your journey of self discovery.

I know you do. And don't think I don't appreciate it, irrelevant as it generally is.

I guess it gives you some sort of release, and I wouldn't want to deprive you of your fantasies. God knows you don't have much else.

Good point well made.



In my experience there is no such thing as a "gifted" Para.

And if you imagine I did 13 years in the Royal Corps without becoming very adept at escaping and evading things then you are making a huge miscalculation.

Wot, they did not teach you survival in the jungle course whilst you've done your 20 years in India?

I guess you were It ain't half hot mum material.

FTFY

SB, Alexei has far more experience than you of running away from the military, let it lie mate.

Good point well made.

Most of your lot other than certain "gifted" Para's didn't do the escape and evasion course. Just saying.. like...

There may have come a time for attempting jungle survival, but that would only have come about once all other options had been properly evaluated.

Your hysterical knee-jerk plunge into uncertainty on day one was not something that would have come naturally to anyone with a calm analytical mindset. Not when other better options were still very much on the table.

However, if your instincts were to simply flee at the first hint of trouble ( like when your call-up papers plopped on the doormat?), then you might have adopted that rather hasty approach. As indeed you continually advocated.

**** me, it's groundhog day!

Didn't help you when your cunning plan was to run off headlong into the Colombian Jungle with no food/water/compass etc. rather than waiting to be released safely after your ransom was paid.

Just saying.....

To be honest, that would be my strategy too. But I'm not a squaddy.

[shaunbhoy]

How do I know? Well, for starters having more than 62 brain cells enables one to calculate what is going to happen when one jumps off the cliff, even if the exact drop time is unknown

Yes exactly, but he/she/it was what we would describe as male beforehand. Therefore I guess Dr Who is transgender identifying and neither a male or a female.

Erm, no. Doctor Who becoming a woman was to appease the masses.

Just like an 8 stone "Special Forces" female beating the tulip out of an 18 stone male.

Not going to happen unless he wants it to.

The current Dr Who is female. I trust that clears up any confusion on your part.
