After all the cuts by the civilians, there are no civilians in the last picture of what remains of the mighty UK Defence Force as it moves it's Union Flag to a new resting place? Originally Posted by ChampionTheWonderBedford

...That's not real grass!Spike Milligan, comedy genius:
"Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?"
"How long was I in the army? Five foot eleven."
"I have the body of an eighteen year old. I keep it in the fridge."
"I spent many years laughing at Harry Secombe's singing until somebody told me that it wasn't a joke."

They were probably picked for being on the brave side, but they ought to have been in step - especially as there were plenty of ear pieces about.Last edited by whiffler; 29-07-2012 at 10:50.

If I had wanted to burn, collect sand in everything I own, overheat, run around, shoot things with something less than 4.5inch caliber, wear green/sand coloured baggy outfits, live more than 16m above Sea Level I would have joined the Army.
