Ahoy there!
What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here! This is a local forum, for local people.
Good grief I leave you lot alone for an evening, and when I return there's a right old kerfuffle in progress.
However, I have recently visited http://www.parachute-regiment.com message boards to look in on some of my old Para Reg pals. They have been getting grief of an individual called 'Lean Green Machine' purporting to have opted out of Para Reg and joined the Corps.
Maybe Airborne is the same chap.

Ignore airbourne. I think he is an ignorant person who thinks whatever he writes in here wea re going to believe. ASk him an interlectual question and see where he stands??

Ignore Airborne cos I still think its one of the old guard winding people up

My God, I shall never forgive meself for missing the last seven pages. Where to start? First off, there are enough people here, who know who Master Gunnery Sarnt Sep Cooper and his old mate, Gunny Sandy, really are to vouchsafe that 20 to 1 on the Hackster is a loosing bet. Trust me. I am most definitely not AIRBORNE, I swim in the deeper end of the gene pool.
Once saw a Para Reg Sarnt Major try to open the door of a magazine. He couldn’t. Try as he might. Keys back in lock, three or four times. Pushed the door, shoulder-charged the door , punched door and at several times, head-butted the door,. Sadly, all to no avail. All this accompanied by language most unbecoming of a Snco
Young (and very good looking) Booty asks, “Mind if I have a go, Sir?”
“It’s effin stuck, you twonk” says he, as he threw me the keys.
“Cheers, Tom,” says young skin, opening the door OUTWARDS.
I have enormous respect for our airborne brethren. As one of the youngest units in the Army, they have a proud history. Sadly, for them, they do not have much of a future. Watch my lips, sonny, there will never, not next week, or next month, or next year never ever be a massed air drop again. The Parachute Reg is most defo going the way of it`s American bretheren, airborne in name only.
Over one half of it’s fighting coys consist of little yellow fellows who are all called Johnnie and do a mean curry. Our Corps, on the other hand, has no such problems.
Wake up, dickhead, and smell the coffee.
Well done, the Lobster, as usual
Love you long time, boom boom number one san.
Fifty dorrar, make me horrar

PARA PARA IN THE SKY LIVIN PROOF THAT HARD BASTARDS CAN FLY MARINE MARINE IN THE GUTTER KICKED TO F**k BY AN AIRBORNE NUTTER (TO ALL THE SEABORNE PUSSYS OUT THERE)

Ho Hum.....Yawn

He'd probably just shout a bit louder....you know, like under 5's do when you dont give them any attention.....

Loz, sadly no, is the answer.
Answer my post, you little gobshite.
If you can, of course
Hiya JulesB, how`s things?
Aye

The lad has finally caught up with this thread, and for Airbornes info I'm the one who amended your spelling to F**k, it doesn't take much effort to use the asterisk, means the same, but reduces offense to a minimum for the ladies and children who view the site on a regular basis. Thanks for understanding!!

Now Parry was down as 3/1, anybody tearing the shirts off their backs? Seems as if half term is still on in Aldershot, and there was me thinking that nice Mr Hoon, (he's the Defence Minister, Airborne) had sent a few Paras out to Kuwait to gain experience. Must have decided against it, perhaps they haven't got enough frog clickers to go around. "Lost me? Nah, I've got me clicker mate, Ribit, Ribit!"

lets get this straight why does every one hate the parachute regiment ?????????????????

Because this is the forum for Marines numpty! It doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out that wading into a bootneck hang-out, shouting abuse in a gramatically incorrect, gormless and childish manner about Royal, is going to earn you a bit of flak. Jeeeesus...

It also doesn't help your cause that you list the 'Fawklands' as one of the great Para victories. Royal was standing shoulder to shoulder with you then and was as every bit as instruemental in that bloody conflict. Can't imagine any Para who'd been there who'd say otherwise. Sort it out.

Question

And beat them,

Answer

Never

The last three attempt to have a match with them have been postponed
With no apparent excuse.

Aye

Ahoy there Airborne!
Don't take it too hard. Deep breath, sit back, relax have a wet of tea (brew) and rejoin the fray in a more relaxed mood. Enjoy the humour, the banter and the taking mickey. It's all in good fun and for the most part no offence is intended.
In my 22 years I served operationally and attended many courses with loads of Paras all over the world. The rivalry was fierce but in the main so was the mutual respect.
Not everyone hates the Parachute Regiment.

PS: That's a point, haven't heard from DFA or Feathers for a while.

yer i no were rivals and that and i aint slagging marines off so dont think iam abuseing any1

any way why do you lot think marines are better than paras (just intrested)
