Just returned from weeks in the bush in Africa bringing debt and misery to more Masai huts. While away I got to thinking of how I'm coming across in here. Got told by some after chatting its not how i intend to. So now homecoming going to sort my profile with pics too, use my cam too and see if that gets me better.
Oh and anyone going to next a social or club I'd love o come along. Went to one alone and ran off scared silly ahem ahem x
Look forward to chatting to you lot again and meeting up too
J so I'd love to talk about good set and find out what vwe is too? Do guys really measure it lol
Meant from me to them afterwards ... Just move on and have fun in chat ... Don't see why he got the hump though ... Bit sensitive maybe ..
Money is power, you never have enough of either so take what you can and enjoy life.
Never spend time with negative types ... Its inviting misery upon you
And finally
Be honest mostly, respectful and treat everyone with the respect you give.
Gecco in the 80's ... Greed is good,
Top quote I say ...

For only 800 ish you could hire one that would actually be decent for only a month .... Love cars and they say lots about you I think? Mines here say I've a small penis and I'm a tosser when out in them lol
Harsh and it's not small ... So ... If your date rolls up in a 500 quid Mazda ... Is he on for a 2nd then?
Cheers

Wouldn't it be worse if nobody mailed no matter what state of man horn ?? Think it positively , it's even quite a compliment ... Personally if I get ignored I don't do a thing after they do. Hate it though as haven't done many mails so far so makes it worse being ignored with ones I'm into etc ...
Great fun here though
Enjoy the week you lot

Hadji, is more recently used as a term by military personnel as a comprehensive term for Iraqis, Arabs, Afghans, or Middle Eastern and South Asian people in general.
I left what I believe to be the offensive, per cursors used in theatre out so as not to offend. Apologies if I have anyone but its down to context.

I use it as a derogatory term there flower. The fact that i have the experience, which i hope you aren't doubting there, gives me the ability to fill in the bits the media deem too sensitive or gory to show or tell about. If you would like a more detailed and from my experience exact view of what actually goes on over there warts and all. Read the award winning book from rolling stone "Generation Kill". The mini series is also excellent and although based upon US forces it is scarily identical to being on the ground. Humour, madmen and shooting camels with diazepam combo pens on constructed bows and arrows. Ask any soldier who has been there and you will be surprised at how much fun they tell you it is, if you cope, the adrenalin rush is so great you find yourself looking for contact. Great mates are made and lost every tour and that in my experience is why I only have derogatory terms and feelings for Hadjis!
Have a little research into how close you have to be to light up a target with an LTD. Big clue ...it's a lot closer than the telly in your lounge.
You are moulded by life's experiences, everyone is different, everyone has an opinion. Ours simply differs.

Hey Flower,
I have many (mostly wrong) opinions but my post was to clarify my earlier post. When I was there I didnt think once about why or oil or anything other than me and my team returning in one piece.
How on earth could you possibly know one way or the other if they are cowards or not! From an armchair making your decision after watching sky news!
They dont have electricity half the day how on earth could they have apache attack helicopters!
I was scared shitless going into my first fire fight! I know im not a coward, back our troops they are doing a fantastic job in a shithole..
Bold statement in bold .... do you have the balls for a firefight! Takes more than typing in bold to cope in one of those!
If we didn't invade wrong doers! Then it becomes acceptable and mayhem ensues! The taliban are a clever and resourceful enemy ....
Its un winnable, pull out and let them kill one another!!
You should be proud of our forces and what they do!
I am

Even if he did cheat with his brothers wife .. one fantastic player he is still ...
J
All may not agree with being there but you have to admire someone with that level of privelege doing his duty on the front line ...
Good lucky Harry and deliver pain and suffering to those filthy 3rd world cowards ....
Not naked this time though chap .... great show by the queens grand child eh people.
Have to admire his cajones too ... takes some big ones to head into battle ..
Home safe I hope and in one piece Cpt Wales.
J
Its confusing and just like the phone really ...
great for IT workers though .. they are still fixing XP now .. this will be riddled with faults i bet ..
Sticking with apple here .. they look great and just work too ... worth the extra £££ for me
J
deserve nothing and its there own doing to get that size ... lazy greedy twats
no self respect so why should we help them out?
J
Although i admire the paralympians i cant watch them ... and the swimmer girl in the huge billboard ads in London are just wrong!!
Gary Barlow is a good role model that performed on the ceremony .. not rock n roll though!
London back to normal soon .. thank feck .. J
Agent provocateur for the undies
Coco De Mer for the rest
J
Are West Ham still going to use the stadium after the para lot are done ...
Or is it another dome in the making and useless after the end of the olympics (thank feck its over soon too)

forward air controller work in the FOB lol .. i spoke to a mate in the blues there with him and he did his shift on sentry too .. Top man and good to see him clothed and taking the piss out of himself too ..
He is never Charles though ... exocets are for ships and andy in a sea king wouldnt work as a decoy .. now Prince harry flys apache .. thats front line pain bringing kit ... give him a break ... isnt that why people visit vegas too!!
We should scrap Westminster and let Harry sort us out eh!! Has there ever been a ginger PM then?
But being serious for once ... fought for the queen and proud to have swore my oath too. People still visit GB just to see her house and hope Prince Phil gets better too .. he says some great things too ...
Its part of what makes here Great and apart from Edward they work bloody hard to promote us too.
It was an invasion of privacy and wrong to be printed i reckon ... boy needs a tan though surely
Night and im off my soap box now .. just feel passionately about my Great Britain and left wing social conscience whingers going on about how unfair it is for the poor .. stop whingeing get to work and join us .. Big Dave is trying to fix the labour mess and cant do any worse surely ... so get spending and help out ..
If we stopped paying dole dwellers after a year and taxed them .... maybe they would get to work and stop whingeing about proper peoples tax rate being dropped from 50 .. feckin labour .. ooops back on box but hey ....
im passionate about being successfull and cant stand whinging tree hugging lefties who go on anti capitalist marches then go to mcdonalds on the way home ...
greed is good and recession only cleans out the crap and makes way for new growth ..
PS ive recently done charity so not a complete ranting twat ... anyone want some life coaching .. I've a good one here ... god save the queen and make Britain great again .. if he isnt busy of course ... lol
Right feel better now and hope ive not offended anyone then .. just meant to say about the FOB too
Think you will find Prince Andrew was an ambulance driver (Sea King Pilot) in the Falklands
Prince Harry was a FOB operator in Afghanistan ... two very very different areas of danger I think you will find (but both way ahead of the dahling Prince Edwared- the failed Marine)
J
The guy has served in the front line, is a qualified Apache attach helicopter pilot and has riches beyond his wildest dreams... he is allowed to have down time and fun, the pics are from a long lens cam through a window and from what goes on in Vegas he was behaving royally...
The modern royal family are more accessible and are part of what makes Britain unique in the modern world....
Give him a break and just be glad he is closer to us normal people than Prince Andrew and Edward ... imagine those running the monarchy .... holy fuck
If you dont like ... hand your passport in and go somewhere you do ...
Now after three.. stand and sing ... God save our gracious la dee dah

What if the patch is applied to both A and B sides at the same time without waiting for the obviously negative effect to show on the A .. Think you will find this is called "Human Error" caused by "Human Intervention"
This isn't a comms issue (which you would expect the B side to instantly take over), this was a software issue caused by a patch that was applied without going through the necessary pre production testing. On one system only, but it happened to be on a key system (obviously). It is applied to the servers supplying the service. These are always applied to the B side servers initially then if all is well (Usually not in the same weekend) the service is swung over to the B side and its applied to the A. Don't mistake Comms and Data with Services. Completely different beast within the DC.
These things happen, in my learning years I managed to bring down HBOS cash machines at 1900 on a Friday evening for 3 hours. You will be amazed the power a temporary employee in the right sector in his second month at a large bank wields lol Needless to say I didn't see my 3rd there that time.
I meant only success should be rewarded. Failure as has been rewarded clearly in the past should not. Thats why its called a bonus. Some market traders where I work are on a minimum of 10%, if they have a limit of 10 million and bring in 50 then what is the issue rewarding them their 5 million. Its all relative.
Both China and Russia are involved... nothing will happen there!! Just got to let the Turks shout about it etc ... Syria is well defended with Russian hardware, and nothing there of any real use ... Iran is next!!
J
Whats wrong with a large bonus or pay if its deserved. I think success should be rewarded and failure not! Success in whatever industry shouldn't ever be punished by being taxed more than anyone else.
If the company is private too then what on earth can Mr Cable or anyone else not on the board or deciding bonus percentage possibly have to do with any of it!!
The 50% tax uproar for instance ... punishing successful people clearly! Or whats the point in achieving after working hard to become successful? The well paid people who pay 40% pay way more than most monthly never mind annually.
At least be fair people!
