I'm a karrimor KSB man myself, I'm on my second pair and combined have been wearing them fro over 15 years, highly recommended.

I go scrambling and climbing at least twice a week mainly in the beacons and north wales, and I've not had any problems. A bit of advice though what ever you decide to get ...

Have to agree that VMs are worth their weight in 'HBM', not only do they live like 'Royalty' in the field (some would say better than when in barracks) but they could turn their hand to anything.

I recall in Iraq in '91 the VMs were banging and hammering in secrecy only to have 'Bast***ized' some ...

Sticky, do you think we ought to copyright this or something, it could be worth millions.

Let me think, there has to be a Lottery angle in there somewhere, a chosen voter who has the opportunity to win a million or something equally valuable (a years subscription to the globe and buster perhaps ...

Hey, why not go the whole hog and get Lawrence Llywellyn Bowen to do the barracks, and Jeff Banks to redo the uniforms.

Could probably milk a few Tv programmes out of it, just imagine a competition along the lines of 'Pop Idol', where the public vote over the phone or pressing the 'red button' now ...

It's a great book following RM recruit training in the 70s and then subsequent tours of NI and Cyprus. I must have read it 5 times and each time I still find it difficult to put down.

Well I watched both programmes, I wasn't that impressed with the 'SAS Survival Secrets' I was expecting a more history type documentary, quite disappointing. Although I will continue to watch the series.

I remember Westward TV and Gus Honeybun. I also remember when he was kidnapped by a group of bootnecks. If my memory serves me well it was held to ransome for ...
