    Book Competition : Company Commander

    The final book competition for May is for a copy of "Company Commander" by Major Russell Lewis MC and covers his period as B Company Commander, 2 PARA in Afghanistan in 2008. For all those aspiring to be an infantry coy comd this is an essential read, for those who thought the OC just sat in the Coy office on the radio - read and learn!!

    This is a great read and to have a chance of getting a copy go to the Survey Monkey entry form and complete the simple questions (correctly)

    200 paras relying on me 24/7 - what would I do?

    I would tell them to speak to the Sar't Major, while I topped up my tan FFS!

    William Ralph (Dixie) Dean (Everton FC 1925–1937) was asked if he was ever spoken to by a referee he replied "Only once"....."And what did the referee say?"........."Would you like a peppermint, William?"

    Maybe it's because they know giving a Welshman a book is like giving Mick Philpott a smoke detector.
    Steven Seagull is a rotten, intenet bully, a seventh generation cunt, he was born in a state of misery, half-cooked with a mean streak a mile wide. Over the years he has developed a passion for human oddities, presdigitation, tattooing and torture.
