Welcome squaddies!

Pick up your bell bottoms at the clothing store - then it's your turn in the barrel.

Can't wait to see the squaddies after their first middle watch. The amount of dripping that proceeds a 1 hour stag is shocking enough.

And don't forget Ryanair will get the heavy lift and air to air re-fuelling! Bring your own sarnies though....

Another Govt Pearler of an idea. Obviously the success of merging customs and Immigration has paved the way forward!

And before that, merger of Revenue & Customs.

I'm told their latest staff survey (total of 96 participating Government Department/bodies) has 50 questions seeking to discern the 'staff engagement'.

Their highest position was 58th, the next best 70th, and in 29 questions they came 90th or worse. In every single question they scored below average.

At a guess they'd be ..... err, 96th overall. More questions in The House

Nice one Cyclops, you cnut.

RAF to come under the Army, which AIUI is where they started.

The Andrew have their own airline, Crab spending most of their time doing CAS or ferrying squaddies... makes sense to me.

RAF couldn't merge with the RN. Moustaches, no matter how impressive, are banned in the senior service. It's a full set or nothing and the hairs would surely interfere with all those laser detectors in Typhoon's cockpit that tell the pilot where he's looking and which way is up.

In any case, Typhoon would have to be renamed 'Sea State 12'.

You, Sir, owe me for a new keyboard or at least the remove of the tea from this one

If I were a matelot, I might even think that funny. As I'm not, I'll settle for quite clever.

If it goes ahead I predict disaster. It didn't work in Canada so why should it work here.

After this gobments previous record, it don't bode well.

I do think the Army should get the RAF's transport helos though.
