In reply to H.P. Baxxter. I'm not really into silicones, see. But if they put me next to Ira Losco, I'm game for anything.

In reply to D.M.Z.

You’re thinking of the US Army.

European armies are very different. Far from the dregs of humanity, they are made up of the salt of the earth. Or at the very least of respectable and intelligent men and women.

If you want the dregs of humanity, look at the Malta Police Corps and some of the older AFM members.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Why not put down porn star? It could be more interesting. Definitely don't put down lawyer.

He seems to be the kind of toff officer great on the parade ground but who would tell off a squaddie returning from patrol off if he’s not properly shaved, aka a “General Richard Head”.

How correct he is (and you are). At a party my spouse and I hardly spend five minutes together at any one time unless when introducing somebody to the other.

We mingle. All it takes is that glance across the room every now and again for a few milliseconds to reconect.

Then after the event we exchange experiences… that really seals off a great evening.

I thought sandwiches were invented precisely to do away with the use of utensils or is the anecdote about the Earl of Sandwich purely apocryphal? To my mind, this Commander is either a tad too stuffy or he’s being tongue-in-cheek.

He would probably mistake the minister for the loo cleaner.

Why are so many people always so ready to tell others what they must or must not do?

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. I meant "not decided". Damn, I'm slipping up.
