A friend of mine worked was attached to "them" a few years back and the nutter quotient was very high. One bloke phoned every couple of days, trying to get thru to the CO. The Staff Assistant would intercept the call and listen to this eejit wittering on with stuff like "I'm holed up in a very dangerous place, I just want to let everyone that we'll get thru this" or "I'm just booking in, tell the Colonel that everything's going fine". Bloody wierdo. Presumably they stuck him on answerphone for a laugh.

George Bush Snr, A World Transformed, 1998

The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is "What does a woman want?"
Setting unbelievably low standards since 1960 and consistently failing to achieve them at every given opportunity.........recommended for a commission!!
