There's a guy at work (a bit metro, but a terror with the ladeez) who cheerfully admits to owning 150 t-shirts... -- platypus "Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.”
Yes, even the female officers are. Well you admitted to a level of ignorance. My friends who are serving officers all have a degree gained at any one of the universities in the UK. I'd suggest you may like to stop now as you really are showing an appalling level of prejudice and ignorance.
platypus wrote I've got three pairs of pants. Although granted one of them tried to make a break for freedom the other day when I threatened it with boil wash in the washing machine and is currently confined to the back bedroom in disgrace but they are all mine.

Sounds like the unofficial US Marine Corps motto: "Kill them all, let God sort them out." (As heard from a Vietnam vet. on a winter exercise in northern Norway around 1970)

Agents of Hope After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Larry Pryce and his English students at Pinconning Area High School in rural Michigan created Project B.E.A.R. (Bringing Empathy and Relief). In three months, this extraordinary effort delivered more than 1,200 new stuffed animals to New York and Washington D.C.-area firefighters, police officers, hospital workers, students, and families affected by the attacks. "Stuffed animals and letters can't change what happened," says Pryce, a 32-year veteran, "but it did give encouragement to families in need." The students have since collected more than 1,000 additional stuffed animals for 10 local charities. "This is the greatest community service effort of my career," says Pryce. "We transformed ourselves from a small town school to an agent of hope and caring." http://www.nea.org/neatoday/0205/people.html

It's me. I fight. Wherever I am. Always have, probably always will, for all sorts of reasons I won't bore you with. Being visible *here* is an entirely different thing. I am not selling here, or trying to make money. In sales, I can and do make money which is in the top percentile of the country's income bracket. This place has no impact on that, if that makes sense? Sales people are chameleons, ime. Ali
As is only right and proper. It's a step in the right direction, when all armed forces will be composed of politicians. They can go out and fight each other while the rest of us get on with life.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that she tells us all several times a week how she's better than anyone else at everything she's ever done.
It's classic, what can I tell ya. Pared down. Nekkid encoding. No holds barred, simple. Clean lines.... Ali
