women on selection
I take it that was aimed at me??? Be so much easier if you actually said who it was meant for.flo wrote:No body is forcing you to read it, if you dont like it then move on.
So...
similarly, If you have no valid input....
Another bad week for you is it Flo?
And another thing...
In future, I'd appreciate it if you refrained from using my name in your posts of drivel.Oh that would have been flighty, Loz, Ruth, Beth and myself, but unfortunately we cant tell you anything about it or we will have to squeeze you to death with our thigh muscles. Why do you think we have entry on these forums. Actually we were looking for tescos but cant read a map for Sh*te and got slightly waylaid
I know where BOTH Tescos and the Express are where I live, I also know how to read a map, what I do with my thigh muscles are my own business and the reason I have entry to these Forums is because I registered and chose to have access, not because someone somewhere deemed it so.
Get a farkin grip and write about summat you actually know about

HeyUp Jimmy
Concerned with your feelings and that you appear disheartened by the mistaken notion that I am picking on you (ya window licker
), I have taken it upon myself to speak to the powers that be to enquire without delay into who you can speak to and thus be able to address your concerns.
After heated debate, some ruffling of papers, lots of staring at ceilings and tuneless whistling, the conclusion reached is this:
Your point of contact will be myself and to save any further waste of time you can fark orf!

Regarding Women on Selection - Times have changed, and we must change with them. I remember a time when the female was a dainty flower like thing, but now the female is snapping necks with the best of them. For example: in my day it was frowned upon for the female to grow a moustache any wider than their nose, nowadays you see many of the female with great walrus type monstrosities under their proboscis. It’s a sad incitement of the modern condition, but one that in this Blairite (hallowed be his name) we shall have to get used to.
I remember, back in ’53 that we often used the female (but only when we couldn’t find a ripe native boy) in the mess for the purpose of exercising the loins and blowing the tubes. Nowadays you are more likely to find the female doing the blowing. Another sad incitement of the modern condition.
There have been many of the females in the SAS. The first was, I believe, a certain Mrs (now Baroness) M. Thatcher of some repute. She first caught the attention of the DS by her unusual footwear (see ‘Boots for Selection’ tread passim), and her refusal to use a bergan, relying instead on her military issue ‘handbag’. She packed the 55lbs required, in lead, into it leaving just enough space for two high explosive grenades. After passing selection, and continuation, with distinction she delighted her commanding officer by arranging jobs for the boys. She contrived to blow up an Argentinean passenger ship called the Belgrano, and by use of covert techniques known only to some black sub-units she managed to persuade the world that it was in fact a warship. Not many men could combine the roles of full time mother, trained killer, and Prime Minister.
She continued her distinguished association with Special Forces even after her retirement by arranging for her son to invade Africa.

if thats aimed at me shut your face you c ock, otherwise no worriesMike_222 wrote:Why do people who have no idea and no positive contribution to a certain thread feel the need to pollute it with boring drivel that no-one actually cares about?
If you've got nothing that actually adds to the content of the thread, why do you bother posting? It's quite sad.

I was making the earnest and boring point that if a job requires someone who can carry half a ton up a mountain thats who should do it, regardless of whether they're male, female, or a highly intelligent DARPA super ant with cybernetic enhancements. or you could get some fijians to do it, I don't care that much anymore

On a serious note: I don't know about females being able to do the harder physical side of SF election/ops. I can't see it, personally. But one thing is for sure: There have always been tough women in special organizations. The SOE, for instance, recruited women from the ATS (formerly of the First Aid Nursing Yoemanry) and was authorised to send them into France in 1942.
One, was Pearl Witherington. Given the code name "Marie", Witherington was dropped by parachute into occupied France on 22nd September 1943, where she joined Maurice Southgate, leader of the Stationer Network. Over the next eight months she worked as Southgate's courier.
After the Gestapo arrested Southgate in May 1944, Witherington reorganized the group. She now became leader of the new Wrestler Network in the Valencay-Issoudun-Chateauroux triangle. With the help of a local man, Henri Cornioley, she organized over 1,500 members of the Maquis and they played an important role fighting the German Army during the D-Day landings.
After the war Witherington was recommended for the Military Cross. As she was a woman she was ineligible and was awarded the civil MBE. Witherington returned the medal with a note saying that she did not deserve it as she had done nothing civil.
