  1. If I'm honest it isn't so apparent these days - although I reckon that's to do with a completely unrelated issue in regards to; dare I say it...class! I've often noticed new Lieutenant 'Spunktrumpets' driving rather expensive cars in relation to their modest salaries....and they weren't paid for with their parents money... 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  2. To live in the hearts of those you love is never to die. So utterly sorry to hear of your loss Mike. 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  3. You should see some of the cars our junior officers drive.... 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  4. The reasons for serving in the military and spending on ones credit card are quite different. 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  5. Nothing wrong with recruiting on campus for ROTC. It gives students a chance to serve their country and a career. As for credit card companies signing up students and allowing them to get in debt before they graduate while knowing not all will be employed after graduation (lucky you), I think it's predatory. Of course the credit card companies don't care who defaults because the paying customers will pick up the tab. Kind of reminds me of the our government and me the taxpayer. Bill, you may have missed your calling in the credit card business. I sure agree with you about handing over personal information. The credit card companies are without doubt predatory. What's moral or not isn't the point though - they need to be predatory. I fully recognize your point though; it also applies to unscrupulous money lenders targetting the less wealthy, and of course; mortgage lenders providing loans to people who quite obviously won't be able to afford the repayments on the property. So I agree it's a contributing factor. As is borrowing beyond ones means. Around 10 years I was in a London wine bar with a friend who worked in the City. It was about 1730 on a summers day. The bar was full of people, mostly wearing designer suits, several drinking champagne and a few smoking cigars; who all generally came across as successful managers/big time traders. I remember him saying: "It's nonsense - most of them are bank tellers or civil servants on about £20000 a year if they're lucky - they're up to their eyeballs in debt, and it's all for the image! The countries swimming deeper into personal debt! It's all coming crashing down sooner or later..." And it's been fairly obvious that it's coming, has it not?
  6. An interesting and partially related article; titled: 'The Need for a New Iran Strategy: The United Nations Security Council’s Multilateral Approach Fans the Fire',by Najmedin Meshkati, can be found here.

  13. Sounds like my first RW sortie! Besides, my instructor was also from Jordon - he'd fuck up deciding what was left and right! "Alright Vortexring - everytime you take off, you continually yaw to the right! Why do you do this!? Everytime, I say; don't yaw right! But yet - you still yaw right! Why!?"

  16. I'm proud of fuck all cunty balls - I have my continual overtness covertness for rather obvious reasons.
  17. All you need to konw is that I fly - and that I used to be often arressted too- waliking up hospital hill! Ask any Reg bloke - he'll know what i mean - and know me too.

  20. Hmmm - you call yourself a rotorhead as a CH-53 crew chief. Fine. I'm a fuckin' pilot and aircraft commander of my beast. Hate to be rude - but are you a pilot? As regards to what happened - several wee accidents sorted me out - I had to accept a less energetic job or be fucked off. Still fuckin' nails like. :) 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'

  22. Wrastling? By God I laugh! By God I've experienced combat you'd no doubt fuckin' wet yourself to just consider. And by God, I fuckin' laugh at your gay 'must gun myself up' threads. I so fucking laugh my head off - gayers!
  23. "did the sun not come out today over there?" WTF!? What earth do you think!? Of course it didn't. Yet - in fact - it did! We've high pressure systems above 1030mb - that's odd! But remember, high to low, look out below, alright? p.s. £10 to the first person who understands my last.... 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!"

  24. Jesus! Edit: Missed at least 70% the original reply. Ok downwardspiral: you've described yourself to be uber-hard! Your martial arts combined with your Marine Corps! Can I hear a pathetic macho sound? Your previous Mil. means absolute fuck all to me - I'd probably have more admiration for 'ya if you were a civvy! Combine that with your pathetic claims to pathetic martial arts, AND weaponary too! 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!"
