And in turn Star I am merely pointing out that there are poor airman and sailors serving in the same atrocious conditions in Afghanistan.
Sex God
I believe I have already mentioned sailors? The Royal Marines are a branch of the Royal Navy, not a separate service.

What an absolute brilliant day and Mrs Star will by then have sent out over 100 boxes to various soldiers serving out in Afghan.
Maybe you could remember the Airman and sailors too

It's pure symbolism. There is no tangible value or benefit to her apology.
Sex God
To my mind there seems no point in the Australian Prime Minister apologising for something her predecessors did when she herself was still in nappies. It doesn't achieve anything, it doesn't change anything, and it is not her that needs to apologise.

For me Mids I think you had every right to ask the question.
If the guy who is married to this woman does not know what she wants' how the fuck in anyone else to know??
I agree with Star and Mids. The reason this question has been asked in the 'lets talk about sex' forum is that there is no intention to meet, merely to talk about it. let's be perfectly honest, cyberdog knows he couldn't ever get the answer from any one of us, only from his wife. So asking us is pointless.

Get a sense of humour people - please
Sorry, I really didn't spot your post as humourous. I thought you really felt that way.
Me too. especially as your thread is called 'it's not right you know' which intimates that the advice is incorrect.
Sex God
No problem. Veterans uk are a great support to those that have served.

It seems perfectly reasonable advice to me. When coming across any casualty a basic check of their abilities is essential, and timesaving. If you ask someone if they are ok and they dont answer you then why not ask them to do a simple facial expression or movement. It takes barely a second and could make a dramatic difference.

He would still be entitled to his assessed war pension, but the payment methods might be changed.
Please see for more information.

Jed, For your friend to be receiving that much as a war pension he must have been assessed as 100% disabled by his injury received in service. The rate was per week for 2012/13, but has increased slightly to for 2013/14. So it cannot be his war pension that has been cut.

That is already happening, my friend, a war pensioner has just had his war pension, his only source of income for him and his family reduced from £792 per month to £564 per month, scandalous that he still gets so much to squander, most of his income does go on rent but that still leaves a colossal amount for him to live the life of luxury he leads doesn't it.
Surely your friend gets additional payments from other benefits because of his disability?

Well you defended it:

Club officials had said earlier this week they were putting a "brave face" on the results and had no intention of giving up but the statement issued through the FAW indicated the club will focus on bringing on youth players.
A far better use of their cash than 22 goals per game loss for the women's side.

Alcopops aren't the reason behind binge drinking...i don't know where you dream up these stats, but its just common and garden beer, vodka and coke, malibu and lemonade, red wine, white wine etc that people use to imbibe.
BTW the problem isn't the alcohol, its the misuse by the person. cure why they misuse it to sort out the problem.
here is something radical...use my 5 why scenario and apply it to the drinking culture we have...you will come to a different answer than cheap units of alcohol. So yet again we are not addressing the underlying causes. this bill is a waste of everyones time and effort.
Please tell me what statistics I have given ?
It is my personal view, one I am entitled to, I am open to discussing the subject and changing my view if someone can show me a valid different view.
I rarely drink though I do enjoy it when I do (usually at weekends when visiting a club or when we have friends round) in 26 years of marriage my wife saw me drunk on two occasions, there were a few more but she never saw me then
I have never needed alcohol or drugs to enhance my abilities to enjoy myself so yes, I could quite easily be wrong, perhaps those that binge drink can enlighten me as to why they do it.
I'm a binge drinker. I hope that shocks no one. The truth is I understand the term binge drinker, and I am not fooled by the label.
A binge drinker, according to the UKGov, is a person that drinks more than the recommended maximum units of alcohol in a week. My particular tipple is Carling, which has 2.1 units per pint, with 21 units being the maximum units for a male in a week. That means I can only drink 10 pints a week before I become labelled as a binge drinker.
So now that we have established that within a seven day period starting from Saturday at noon I sometimes drink more than ten pints, and am therefore a binge drinker, I feel ready to answer the question:

I have never drunk Alcopops. I drink because I am a mature adult and have the freedom of choice. On a Saturday I like a pint or two if I make it to the football stadium, usually two before, two after then the bus home. I'm more than partial to a can or two when I'm on cam in the chatroom with Mrs T as it stops me getting uptight with the multitude of idiots we have to deal with sometimes. I like a glass of wine with my Christmas meal, and certainly enjoyed some champagne last weekend when we bought our new house. I will partake of port at formal functions, but will always shy away from sherry as it is the most foul tasting drink I have ever tried. On remembrance day I always drink a few toasts to my personal ghosts. On my birthday I tend to have a couple too, and usually end up eating a kebab at three in the morning. I hope you can read into all these situations and see why I drink when I do; But to reiterate, I have never drunk Alcopops.

Jed, you were wrong. There is no point dressing it up, or muddying the water, you were wrong. There is also no point in saying you were half right, or even close, you were wrong.
It happens, move on.
I'm the same sometimes, especially on business and tax affairs, but I tend to take a different path. Rather than stating a fact and defending it to the last, I openly state I may be talking crap in the first line and wait to be corrected or re-advised by someone that knows more than I.

I haven't read a report, as you never linked one. However caerphilly football club must have someone paying the match fees, and how do you balance that against the prospect of a ten nil hammering. Would you turn up to watch that sort of thing every week? I know I wouldn't.

His conviction has been quashed - for now at least, he does face a re-trial
Even if convicted at the retrial he won't face prison again, which must be a huge comfort to him and his family.

As an ardent supporter of a League 2 team, I know that life exists outside of sport, and football exists outside of the premiership.
It's a shame to see teams close down, but unfortunately someone has to pay the bills and if I was paying the bills in Caerphilly I would rather spend the money on the mens or youth teams. A GD of -218 isn't a joke, it's a financial blackhole.
It's a shame for the girls involved, they gave it a go and hopefully had a laugh trying which is to me, the true spirit of the game.

Spot on. :thumbup:
For me this bill was always a nonsense. Petrol is expensive because it is sold to us after all production costs, tax and a small profit are added. We grumble at the price but we know that a large portion of the cost is tax and very little is profit to the forecourt operator. So why on earth would we be happy with this proposal? Mr Cameron was on the TV today talking about selling units at 25p each was immoral and disgusting. I have a can of Carling in front of me with less than two units in it. I bought 20 cans, lets call it 40 units, for £13. That's around 32p per unit. If the price was raised to 50p per unit the taxman would get nothing extra, I would be more out of pocket and the supermarket would have received around an extra from me.
You only have to read short excerpts from this forum to see the hue and cry about supermarkets being to powerful, why would any government want to force them to increase their profits by around 40% on alcohol?
*Caveat -20 Carling's we're sold to me for £13, the rest of the numbers are ballpark figures and may not stand the calculator test. No Munchkins were harmed in the making of this post.

And I was wrong but not totally, I confused two documentaries with one, having watched the documentary about mixed nationality SS Battalions, I also watched a documentary about Irish plans to invade Northern Ireland with German assistance or more of a German invasion of Northern Ireland, the perfect base for an further invasion of the UK mainland with neutral neighbours (EIRE).
You are always true to your word mids and admit when you are wrong about something. It's an endearing feature of your posts. What baffles me though, is how you can sit there and say that you weren't totally wrong? You stood by your guns and insisted that the SS directly recruited whole battalions from Ireland, yet the truth of the matter is that you got yourself confused about things. Face facts, you were totally wrong.
Quote by MidsCouple24
I made no such allegation, I stated that an SS battalion of Irish fought for Germany on the Eastern Front, that is undisputable fact, it was you who thought the very idea that the existance of such a Battalion was comical,
Who is laughing now
Given that your 'undisputable fact' , is actually a figment of your own confusion, who is laughing now?

Thankyou for clarifying that GnV spot on, I was asking what the difference was with Malta, Gibralter and the Falkland Islands and for that matter some of the Channel Islands and Shetland Islands all claimed by Countries closer to them than Britain is though none of which the claiming countries think it right to invade
The difference I can see between the Malta, Gibraltar and the Falklands is huge. Insurmountable in fact.
Gibraltar and the Falklands are British Overseas territories. Malta, is an independent country and nothing to do with Britain.
The mere suggestion that we even consider giving it away is preposterous, because it's not ours to give!

One fact I do know for sure is that Ireland was neutral during WWII, they decided as a Nation not to take part, well the Government did, 150,000 Irishmen signed up to fight with and for Britain and 10,000 died doing so.
Not to mention the 20,000 Irish merchantmen who were illegally killed at sea.

A battalion at the time of WW2 was around 300-1200 men, dependent on role. Artillery had the lowest number (300), followed by Cavalry, (400), armoured (500), mechanised (750), motorised (900) and infantry (1200) battalions with the highest. The SS never raised artillery battalions.
There is evidence of around four dozen Irish men, who had volunteered to fight in the British forces, being approached for recruitment after becoming PW's. They were subjected to propaganda and indoctrination. Eventually 5 men agreed to join the German forces, although 4 of these had already agreed with their chain of command to do so, and had been given a 'sleeping brief'. One of these men was called James Brady, I can't remember the others.
They were subsequently joined by no more than thirty men who were recruited by the same means, or had willingly joined the fight against communism or the British rule (Take your pick, they were a mixed bag!). One man was released from the cells in the Channel Islands on condition of joining, and another was an Irish student with German heritage detained at the start of the war. It's worth remembering that the number of men that actually joined this unit was only slightly more than joined the British Free Korps. The BFC totalled 59 men, some only for a few days, and never managed a single day with more than 27 members.
There is certainly no evidence of a couple of whole battalions of SS. Please feel free to provide some.
