Fair one - I'd much rather read (fortunately I don't have to listen to them) your quips, observations and witticisms :roll:

Great stuff, as a kid I nicked his album Snap, Crackle and Bop from the local record shop (anyone remember them?). Not easy stuffing one of those up your jumper - thank heavens for file sharing :lol: On it is this materpiece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37QUUwp9xIs&feature=related Far from th...

:P Fair one. It's all I know and can speak about with any kind of authority - although we did work with perce (the army) now and again. My impression from those days is that the Corps seemed to be more tolerant of different personality types - if you can cut the mustard and do your job then in your ...

It sounds like you need to build up a few walls that have come down - as the old saying goes you have nothing to fear except fear itself. Those dogs that are trained by psychologists to do things to avoid electric shocks never know that the shocks soon stop - they react instinctively to a perceived ...

A brave post - I've no reason to doubt that its not genuine. It could be the cure for your problem. In basic training you'll probably be busier than you've ever been before and you'll learn to let go of a lot of stuff that just isn't important. Join the Corps (Royal Marines) and you'll be busier tha...

I'd agree with SO19 about bloated protection programs - I have seen them really slow down a box. I use AVG 8 (free) anti virus and Zonealarm (free) firewall although I think I probably don't need the firewall on the Vista machine - as Vista has an in and out protection now (XP used to only be inboun...

Personally I think that anyone who has been to uni and has had several years of adult working life is not going to benefit from joining the armed forces. And I'd suggest to such people that they seek their challenges, development and excitement elsewhere. Hey, it's a good job I didn't seek your adv...

I thought moaning and dripping was what bootnecks do best :lol: Fair enough to keep a lid on it in training - no dripping and no excuses.

Good effort Lillelj - great feeling eh? Got to go mate - I've come over all envious :wink:

H_N, I find it hard to disagree with anything that you've said above and consider it to be the unofficial forum rules - good effort.

For what it's worth I'm also glad you're back.

Q: How many country and western singers does it take to change a light bulb?

Viking, I did enough yomping and speed marching (although admittedly not much of it around the iconic Pen-y-Fan :roll:) to 'earn' a crocked lower back and a pension. There's probably not much I could have done about that (other than done a bit less) but as you get older it's a shock to the system as...

fodd, I almost feel like I know you after a few years of this and I have to say that I think that one day you'll regret not joining up again mate. The entrance requirements for Aus probably won't change in the next few years. It's your shout but I nearly talked myself out of joining up and I dread t...
