    Someone once said the same to me and I took them at their word and went to a
    BoSM. None of the fuckers made a pass at me, but by the Christ, a few got
    drunk.
    It inspired me to go to the next oSM just to see if the ones who got pissed
    were only trying to impress me. They weren't though, they're too good at it
    for that.

    Good, those oSM things

    Oh dear.

    At least I snipped. The content of the post, that is. Not anything else.

    Perhaps Prince Harry would like to list the benefits 'their country'
    will gain from the invasion, brief (inneffective) occupation, and
    evacuation from Iraq?

    No there isn't.

    The only thing I know about SciFi is that my mate married this bird.

    We've had her round for Sunday lunch. She's ever so nice.

    I didn't think so, because people HAVE and still DO join up because there's
    little else for them to choose. There are a few old phrases which still
    ring true to this day, like "Jail or the Army" and "Dole or the Army". Lots
    of friends of mine joined up in the 60's and early 70's because there was
    **** all work to be had and some of them were slipping into petty crime. A
    few choice slaps from plod made them realise they'd better do SOMETHING, or
    they'd be doing time, so the alternative was joining up.

    It's not unusual at all. even these days, although the entrance "exams" are
    probably a little more exacting than they were.

    I don't even think Champ's comment was insulting, let alone cynical.

    So no changes there then? When was the Army soldier ever well paid, well
    looked after and sent to Butlin's rather than to war?

  8. There is, if you know where to find it.
    Blimey. You lucky dog. She was great as Hathor, very nice piece of acting.
    And she is rather easy on the eye, too.

    ****, I don't like to think how many I've got[1]. They're not all in
    regular use, but surely no-one throws away shoes that are still
    wearable? I buy one, maybe two pairs a year, but I don't think I've
    thrown any out for, oooh, err, actually, I'm not sure I can
    remember...


    [1] Sadly, it has made me think, and it's certainly a lot more than
    13. Closer to 30, I suspect.

    Not so good.

    But the rotten fruit business is picking up!

  19. <snort> Told you it was a crap picture. Yellow trousers, black top, blonde
    hair. And one hell of a hangover. This was the closing ceremony on Monday
    morning, and I'd grabbed the first clothing that came to hand.
