Hello Fat Cav, I am currently getting assistance over using the Internet, after my wife died last year. I'm not young and spritely like you lot. My Mentor (He's the teacher from the Adult learning Center who started to help me back last September) suggested that i join a site that would interest me. We spent a month or so looking at the site seeing if that was the case. In the end we decided that it seemed to fit the bill. Especially the lad from the French Foreign Legion, marvellous posts, very entertaining. My Tutor is Video Conferencing me, each week, and helping me if i have any questions.
This Rob fella that you have linked me to 'with suspicion', the only reason he came up was a previous poster thought i might be him? I then asked about being baned and mentioned that if a person got banned then how could they re-post. Having read the explanation i remarked that it wasn't really banning. Somebody else posted a really funny picture with that odious Greta girl on it.
Next, Paras or not, even they have to undertake selection to join the Regiment. I joined in 1958, perhaps when you were a twinkle in your fathers eye? Selection today as i understand, is nothing like selection back then. I shall treat your comment about 'incoherent', with the contempt that it deserves, unless of course you yourself joined. But I feel not. Paras are also not considered Special Forces, there is 1 battalion that supports them, but that doesn't make them so.
As Polyester said, and i assume you all follow, if somebody claims to be something then it is best to wait-a-while (That is what we called a certain type of Vine whilst in the Jungle, if you walked into it, you waited a while and it slowly withdrew) before you pass judgment on them? I have provided a brief summary of what i have done, and why i thought that Arrse would be a good place to start on a web-forum. I actually thought that as you are all ex-soldiers you might find life as a Soldier from my day somewhat interesting. In return there have been numerous posts about me and this Rob Galla. If you lot think i am mistaken about this site, just say so and i'll find another one to join? But i was unaware that there was a 'Selection' process? I am also unaware why you might think I am this chap? Please enlighten. Some drongo, actually rattled on about 'Spidey Senses', and this an ex-soldier, allegedly. So having Spiderman Ability is a reddy reckoner for judgement is it? You are aware that Spiderman is just a cartoon in a comic strip, aren't you? Are you a junior leader?
Perhaps what you need is a part of the site where people introduce themselves, like other sites do?
Finally, what is a Sock Puppet?
