    I made this from a 40mm Bofors case. Try as I might I couldn't get it to load any other way except sideways. My apologies.
    Sorry old boy, but for reasons I cannot explain, your horizontal lamp was doing my head in.

    Thanks a bunch for that. It was doing my head in as well but it just wouldn't co-operate.

    To the army, to every soldier in it. I have a bond of attachment quite independent of any political reasonings. I was a soldier at that time when the feelings are most ardent and when the strongest attachments are formed. ‘Once a soldier, always a soldier’ is a maxim, the truth of which I need not insist to anyone who has ever served in the army for any length of time.

    Where the fuck is the kilo you promised me, useless bitch, how can an Abbott (one of the only systems not to have been used in war (check other thread)) case be more important than keeping 1 RTR sane for a week?
    Dry books of tactics are beneath the notice of a man of genius, and it is a known fact that every British officer is inspired with a perfect knowledge of his duty, the moment he gets his commission; and if it were not, it would be sufficiently acquired in conversaziones at the main-guard or the grand sutler's.

    In my 50's and thus a grumpy old man. Just so long as you realise that I'm right and you're wrong, we'll get along just fine, OK?

    Whilst you lot are simply making ashtrays, umbrella stands and table lamps, some people have been much more imaginative...

    If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
