    He obviously knows you well.

    On the matter of what they should sell, I would certainly buy a box of toilet rolls printed with quotations from the Koran, if only to be gratuitously offensive by putting them in the toilets of those poxy restaurants in and around London who don't sell wine because "this is a Muslim area".

    MacDonalds is a restaurant?
    "Hurrah for the Works Group" just doesn't have the same ring...

    So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).

    I'd like them to sell tyre pressure gauges and BNC coaxial connectors.

    Just because I wanted some this week and they didn't have them in stock. Next week I may want them to sell whirling hygrometers and AD4 radio batteries but that's just guesswork at the moment.

    I mock your British procurement, my musket will serve me well in Afghan!

    Did you know a defence dollar buys more gear than a defence pound. Yet our exhange rate is one pound to one and a half dollars. There are 200,000 workers in the UK arms trade, many paid for by the public - thats more than the MOD, and the gear is still crap. This is madness and must stop.

    The muslim corner shop in UK has never really come to terms with the needs of the British public. Yes, they've got long opening hours and they sell items that you wouldn't normally expect a corner shop to sell, but they're not a patch on the Chogie shops once found on military bases overseas.

    Take, as an example, the Chogie shop in Lathbury Barracks in Gib. You could knock on his door at 2am when you rolled in from Town and he'd answer it within seconds (he used to sleep on a stool just inside the door). You'd demand a cup of coffee, an egg banjo, thrust him a grotty uniform and tell him you needed it washed and pressed for 0630. By way of saying "Goodnight", you'd subject him to 30 minutes of racial abuse. And when you called in at 0630, he'd not only have your uniform ready, but he'd also greet you with a cup of tea and a beaming smile.

    Tea used to taste a bit funny, though. Maybe it was the condensed milk...
