Just making a note - BAE Qinetic BP............. :-)

LOL

m - Long BAE :O)

William Hague our next Prime Minister

So good they named it twice.

I would have thought most would have wanted to praise the courage of the Libyans and Hague would be no exception.

As far as the military are concerned, they do as ordered, but the Apache aircrews were not exactly short of balls either.

Perhaps I missed the point

Now who said sarcasm was the lowest form of wit? Or perhaps the last bastion for those with nothing useful to say?

Just a thought :>)

Depends what level of action you consider indefensible I suppose or what is unjustifiable, which of course depends on one's perspective.

As for moral philosphers in the forces, who knows, perhaps more than we think.

I'll take your word for it :O)

m - Think you are on dodgy ground here, bit of an insult to those brave men and women who as a career choice join the Armed Services. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it in the full knowledge that they may have to sacrifice their life as a result. To tar every single one of them with a throw away line 'there has always been a skewing in favour of those skilled and proficient in thinking with the organs below the waistline than to those used to the more arduous task of doing so with the organ above the neck.' is most irreverant. Shame on you!


Probably the most restrained reply to an obnoxious post I have made in my life. Only because you have identified yourself as being female and of a certain age. Trying to be a gentleman :O)

"Now who said sarcasm was the lowest form of wit? " - but also the most effective!

I have to say I never found Rowan Atkinson funny, but if he has the balls to face up to the horrible Mugabe he gets my vote, as to playing the organ with the head or the genitalia, I much prefer using the hands.
