Good effort chaps. Keep up the good work.

I like Christina Aguilera, but her version of 'The Star Spangled Banner' at Superbowl was dreadful (with or without the correct lyrics). Take a peek at the many versions on YouTube and most are not much better. You'd think that at premier events, like Superbowl, the organisers would ensure that the ...

Was it 'proffed' from 2 and 3 Para?

In addition to comments by Timex, it is possible to stay in the Corps until you are 55, either as an Officer or an Other Rank.

110. There's no Heaven. No hell below us. And no religion too.

111. We all gave peace a chance.

This speech by the CGRM was copied directly from a post on OAMAAM. Worth taking the time to read it.... “WHAT LESSONS FROM TODAY'S OPERATIONS ARE SHAPING CAPABILITY IN THE FUTURE?" Mark Twain described history as ‘a huge Mississippi of falsehood’ - nevertheless I reflect on the fact that: Yeste...

One man's bigot is another man's freedom speaker......................or something like that.

103. Martin Johnson could get England back on track.

104. Returning British troops stopped the parade and 'educated' the protestors.

I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only Old Fart receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see. Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of God Save the Queen, Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embar...
