Some of the stuff on AARSE does make me laugh, recently everyone seems to be moaning on military forums. Sod computers though, the real world is better.

HEADLINE: AS BRITAIN'S 'THIN RED LINE' REELS FROM FRESH DEFENCE CUTBACKS, DEMANDS GROW FOR REDUCTION IN OUR GLOBAL COMMITMENTS; BLAIR IS DEMANDING TOO MUCH FROM OUR SHRINKING FORCES

BYLINE: By Tim Shipman DEFENCE EDITOR

BODY:
BRITISH soldiers are renowned for their sense of humour as much as their fighting skills. But the announcement last month that the size of the Army is to be cut, while front-line ships, submarines, RAF squadrons and aircraft are axed, has taxed even this legendary quality - though not entirely.

In the cyberspace world where squaddies go to complain, 90 per cent of those polled on one Army website last week agreed with the proposition that Tony Blair "is scum" - hardly what the Prime Minister needs to hear, as he contemplates sending them to new trouble spots around the world.

I hate computers. I work in an office 8:30-5:30 every day except saturday and wednesday... in front of a computer. I'm on the internet all day because it's better than working. :D
I get paid to spend all day on MF! :lol:
When I'm out of work I avoid computers like the plague...
