anonymous Welsh Guards captain in paper today?
I vaguely heard on Today this morning that a Welsh Guards captain has written in one of the papers today - does anyone know which paper?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,camel blue in one hand,wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOW!!! WHAT A RIDE !!!!!!!!!!!

An interesting article but I didn't know what he meant by "shotvarfet" at the end so I googled it. The first hit was an English Lit exam from 2003 which contained the final scene from Blackadder Goes Fourth, just as they go "over the top". I'd forgotten just how powerful that scene was, I was surprised to find a mote of dust in my eye. Extraordinarily good writing.

He has lost his bottle and should be replaced asap. He is clearly unfit to be in command of troops at war.

The captain tells the truth. ----- Fairplay to him.

Um, he explains what it means in the article. 'Not worth it'.

Note: Member of the WG BG - NOT a Welsh Guards Officer.
This was not written by a Guardsman - too many long words........
No, in truth, there must be well over 1,000 Men in the BG, and this chap is certainly an Officer, but equally certainly not a WG Officer.
Intersting article, mind you, and something that suits the Indy down to the ground.
