'And the queen is heir to the throne?'

Correct if I am wrong but shouldn't that be job of the Prince of Wales?

Ben how you can post here taking the piss out of stinky when you don't know who the heir to the throne is?
I'm not taking the piss out of anybody I was just saying how the queen is on the throne, I thought that was the heir to the throne, thats why I put "so as far as I'm aware" so yeah ok then you were right I was wrong, whatever, either way I'm not taking the piss but the queen is still under a role of importance

Not at all, it a nautical term for a triangular sail which is set for'ard of the foremast of a sailing vessel. :wink:

If you dont ask you wont learn.
Like the phrase "I like the cut of your jib." :D

Not sure if its the same women but it looks quite similar, she is in p.38 Issue 13 of the ARMY magazine. Talks about how she passed a course 8/9 weeks long after 18 months training for it including two previous failed attempts. I don't believe she went through PRMC and the full 32week RT, and I remember reading somewhere that she can't take on the full duties of a normal Marine (I dont mean that offensively).
