    Irish tank-based tourist attraction

    I passed by this place last week. I must say that I take issue with their use of the phrase "One Of The Most Exhilarating Drives Of Your Life" and anyone who's experienced the box-on-tracks will already know that the "Most Impossible Looking Of Terrain" will remain forever impossible.
    I'm not happy about our position in the narrative structure of this war.

    £72 per hour for driving a 432? I used to do it for less than half of that a day.

    £75 to travel in a fecking "biscuit tin", what ever next?

    Spent all my career avoiding the Tiff's 432 crew, then as an Artisan got posted to the Woofers in Tidworth as they converted to Armd Inf. Bluddy ASM gave me Spt Coy Fitters, 14 months commanding from a fridge on tracks - oh the embarrassment.
