hello all,

just wondered if anyone can shed light on who is the current Director of UK Special Forces? Replies or PMs would be appreciated.

Happy New Year all, Cheers, Westy

My dear Westie,

Umm... No... Just No.

Peace be upon you.

P.S Drinking a lovely Chateauneuf-du-Pape from Chateau Mont Redon, beautiful balance, dry earthy fruit, and that warming alcoholic finish we all love so much. 2001 vintage, which by all accounts was superb and good for another 10 years yet.

Hello CL,

Bit late for you to be posting - buring the candle at both ends?

Nice drop of vino you talk of there.

What with the recent and sudden down-turn in tin mining coupled with my sporadic loss of sight i'm currently able to afford nothing more than a 3 litre bottle of Bejam Liebfraumilch to accompany the Sunday roast.

Still, it's nice to hear of someone living life in the fast lane.

Hope all is well - speak soon.

CS.

P.S i'm currently losing the will to live having posted in the General Discussions area - i shan't be doing it again.

Oh Dear Capytain,

Officers mess not what it was eh? I can remember the days when fine wine merchants used to cut each others' throats to get the biz. Ahh..Tony Blair has a lot to answer for.

I can further remember the time when 24hr Compo used to come with wine recomendations and foul little bottles of screwcap wine for the 'hofficers.

Tonight it's a charming Barolo I have chosen (again 2001) from a small grower called Reverdito - the nose is all Violets and Tar. The body has just enough tannin to balance the alcohol.

Ciao,

CL

CL,

You have sickeningly good taste. For me it's a 2004 Tesco Melini Chianti - and that only because it has £1.70 off.

I do hope business picks up again soon as i find myself looking 'tward the Thunderbirds and White Lightning.

Say - why not drop me a PM with your latest news and we can chew it over?

Regards,

CStab

Evening guys/Cpt Stabbo... got a nice little Chablis on the go

G/f used to work at Broadmoor, not sure if i should have been her boyfriend or patient LOL!

Just to get this thread back on track. The Director of UK Special Forces is
Maj. General %)*^* %^&£$"^

come on sneaky
You know as well as i do that the DSF is not a Major Gen he just thinks he is.

Quite right Mr 1955!

As far as my limited intelligence allows DSF is a Brigadier position, one that has always seen its holder promoted to full General on retirement - if not before. Mostly the people concerned are a) dead 'ard and b) look good in a suit.

P.s. I believe, My dear Westie, that currently the DSF is from the SBS, but obviously, for obvious, obviously clear reasons I think that OPSEC should prevail if anyone does know his name.

Tonight it's a unpretentious but delicious Champagne. A 100% pinot noir number from Gallimard Pere et Fils. Aged 3 years on the lees to add more depth and complexity. I personally believe that growers' champagnes like this one are the way to go becoause they offer signficantly better value than the 'Grande Marques.' After the bottle I will be following doctors ofders and downing several pints at our local hostalry with the current girl-fiend and her boring mates.

Out.

Mines a Stella or at a push Kronenberg

ah stella....



ps. no offence intended anybody!! www

the dsf if still the same from around 2000-ish is a brigadier and is from airborne background.met him when he first took over and was doing the rounds of all the different sqdrns while i was doing selection with 23 at the time.he surprisingly gave a speech in front of the sqdrn as well as us recruits in the bar detailing new kit to be issued and quite seriously undermined the TA regiment saying they were probably better than the hungarian special forces but not much else and that he didnt see how they could be sas when they have not done the same selection and do not have the same capability and he was not happy about them.was quite taken aback being permitted to sit in for it and would imagine the sqdrn members must have been seething.
i reckon they are a valuable outfit but it must be a bit galling for the reg sas guys to see others wearing the same cap badge etc as they do when they have not done the same to earn it and dont have anywhere near the same skill or experience.
anyway there you go for some wednesday night soapbox!

Just like to say what a load of Bollocks and thats putting it mildly


Bollocks

The word is often used figuratively, most commonly as a noun to mean "nonsense"
