ARmy Rumour SErvice

I do have to say, that I was once impressed by Galloway, in the way that he wiped the floor with the yanks who accused him of being very naughty with the Iraq leader at the time, who still carries a nasty chaffing mark on his neck as he rots. I was also once impressed with a fat person who once was the deputy prime minister who 'biffed' a chappie on the chin who threw an unfertilised ovum at him that caused discomfort when it collided with his mandible.
These are just marks of pleasure that were temporary and detracted from the matter that they should both be regularly cheese grated and salt and vinegar liberally sprinkled on the wounds and then have the dried 'collective' on the dermis 'rasped' off with the biggest 'rasp' available. (the process being repeated 'ad infinitum') Suffice to say.... they have both had their time of 'normality and red bloodedness' but I don't care much for their general personalities.

It always gets me, I mean the squaddy actually gets to pick the war he goes to.

And surely that is aiding and abetting the enemy / giving comfort to the enemy.

Probably claimed parliamentary priviledge (Spelling???) to say that.

Been thinking about this. Bin laden is dead. Saddam is dead. Gaddafi is dead. Assad is looking a bit shaky, and ihaveabaddinnerjacket (Iranian fella) wants to destroy the world so is a bad bet. Iraq war has ended and afg is over soon from our point of view. The end of the cash cow is nigh for gurgutation George, what is he to do to ensure he can keep on getting people to fund his lavish lifestyle?

And then lo! As if by magic! There is a report of Argie diplomats contacting welsh mp's looking for sympathetic members of parliament to speak for them. "ME ME ME!" shouts guess who...

GG is an offensive stain that makes most politicians look like saints - I recall catching big brother when he was on. He had been caught red handed breaking the rules and had been taken to task by one of the other nobodies. G was able to twist it around so that he was in the right and the other was in the wrong. I will give him credit, he is an effective orator, but then, so was hitler.

Going slightly off thread - if the Falklands were (part of) a UK constituency, how would that change the debate?

That's what the French do. Réunion, Martinique, French Guadeloupe and a couple of others; fragments of Empire dotted about the oceans that have the same status as any other bit of France. An Overseas Départment is the official term. It also gives Air France some sort of edge when claiming airline routes.

I suppose in theory we could do the same, but I can't see our NATO partners or indeed the EU taking kindly to it.

There's a lot to be said for grouping our overseas territories into constituencies.

The Falklands, Tristran Da Cunha and St Helena (and Ascension, although no real long term residents) could make one. The Caribbean territories - Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat - would work. Bermuda, Gib etc could be sorted out.

As long as they don't have them represented we're a bit naughty, really.

Anyway - Galloway. What an utter cunt. He's just a transparent showman.

I'll resist the tempation to make jokes about whether his new squeeze needed a passport. The Nikah is grounds for spousal re-union (or was in about 2005/6 when I dealt with an immigration matter, but I stand to be corrected on this. I am not an immigration law bod and have had no dealings with it since then).

I'd love to be the Imam in the Mosque he comes to on friday. Wonder if GG can keep his mouth shut during the khutba (sermon) or if he has to put the Imam right. With his balls, it's amazing he has not claimed to be a hafiz (one who has memorised the Koran) or to put the title Ustaz (Leaned, but not Hafiz) in front of his name.

I have no problem with Islam. I have a problem with the opportuinism of GG, he'd put a Red Star on his hat if it would get him a constituency still.
