Pah, he needs to sort his priorities out! ;)
Let's face it, nothing short of god could have calmed him down! It's almost enough of a miracle to turn me into a believer! Stevin was a good...
I miss Freddy too, from a flamboyant novelist and opera singer (he was going to get me tickets when he was in covent garden too!) to a monk, If I...
Excellent pics, it's a great film (aren't all of Flynn's films?) I always think it goes well with 'They Died With Their Boots On.' Where did you...
Thanks, I spent a third of my degree studying it and find the whole period fascinating. The modern attitude to the war is almost as interesting as...
We have troops to deal with the Argentinians, it'll just mean sending the next load of troops preparing for Afghanistan down there instead and the...
It was pretty rubbish to start with, at least it has become an interesting discussion, however OT it may be. The more I think about it, the more...
I can't believe I'm missing this! Hopefully I'll be home in time for the UK release (or on R&R which is coming up soon, joy) and I'll be able to...
A-58, good point well made. Obviously it is simply incorrect to approach it from a 'good north bad south' point of view, lets face it, the North...

I hate to say it but I firmly believe it came down to slavery, it was brewing for years and slavery was always the crux of the matter, look at the...
True enough, sadly the Taliban killed the best hope for peace on 09/10. It seems strange though to me that the locals prefer the corruption of...
We did that with Saddam and look what happenned there ;) But yeah, generally I agree. I do think that we have vastly different value sets however...
Biak, the problem is that you can't force Afghanistan to accept rules like that. If we lay down rules forcing our cultural values on the Afghans,...
I'm gonna have to come in on the other side here, I have talked to locals, I've seen them around our guys and (whilst I don't trust them) the...
Same goes for a lot of our guy, one colonel informed his guys they were deploying in 12 months as infantry and would be training as such up until...
All but 50, 000! I wish we had an army that could afford to send 50, 000 troops somewhere!
