I blame funny handshakes and these odd clubs for confusing those of us who know nuffin..... Within every organisation you have peoole being nice and nasty. The problem is that that the nasty ones with lots of money and control can do a lot more damage. I am a bit suspicious of any 'club' which is exclusive and 'secret'. You have to ask why anyone would want to hide the truth from the general public. Main stream politics these days just seems to be full of spin to justify the desires of those who are really in control. Blair was in danger of being taken to task over the WMD affair so he is easy bait for the powers that be. He's also got a massive ego which is easily led. I reckon he is just being used to stir us all up and take our focus away from those who are causing the real imbalance in this country. Of course secretly Blair's ego would love the dream of being the person to halt Brexit, but it 'ain't gona happen.

I don't normally tell anyone this, but I was the first onto the balcony during the Iranian embassy siege. Bob Yeomans was involved in it he ended up back there for his last posting [the Squadron that is]. Its no bigi being posted to the squadrons now days they volunteer in the 70s you were posted I did the course because I was young and stupid did my 3 years with the squadron then left.

Are lollygagger and peterboat the same person? thats what it came across as peterboat posted / then dogless replied to peter / then lolly lagger answered ? ? ? I saw this: Peterboat: I walk past his house 3 or more times a year Lollygagger: We have a club on Gresham Street but I've never been there. Is Peterboat Lollygagger? He walks past Blair's house on the same street as the club but does not go into the club? Or: does Peterboat walk past Blair's house in order to go into his club into which he enters, but Lollygagger is a member of another club (or the same one?) but never goes there?

I am ex SAS [the Royal Signals Squadron attached] we have our meetings at the Victory Services club where I am a life member It is relatively cheap to use so its my London Club because it is. Even if I am from Rotherham My ex wife is now with such a person. I get on better with him than my ex. Funny old world. I meet them every 10 years at the reunions the numbers are dropping rapidly, we were a large entry all made up of junior entry soldiers, easy to mold into what they wanted and still fit from all the training. It was a experiment that on the whole turned out well for them

That's what threw me for a bit ......... couldn't work out what had happened it almost seemed that Peter had morphed into lollylagger It was only when more posts arrived that it became clear ....... Phew !!! now that would have been sock puppeteering with a vengeance

It was a experiment that on the whole turned out well for them I believe a few also live on the cut. From what I understand some of those in the SAS have mainly admin or intelligence roles and don't see action as such. It must be a pretty exciting lifestyle if you did see action though. I worked closely with the RAF but never joined the forces. I'm a bit of an anti-control freak so it wouldn't have suited me in hindsight. When I was approaching 16 I went to the Army careers office because I fancied driving big trucks. They put me through a test and said I could only join if I wanted to be an officer! I then tried the Navy as I faniced joining the fleet air arm and fly. They told me to get some A levels and come back later. I left school at 16 and got a job testing model ships for Vickers (British Shipbuilding) which led me into a career in electronics, software and radar. It went without any blips really...boom boom..

The Squadrons provide support for the SAS plus build up the numbers, we provided comms so we went with, them the other Squadrons provided the appropriate trade skill that they required, it was exciting but I did visit NI a lot of times over those years. I wouldt have changed it for the world and over the remaining years those wings gain you respect especially from Paras who know the difference. I kept my para pay up all the way to the end because it made a big difference to the pay packet and pension

I did giggle when he says they throw in a stunning grenade, but there's a massive explosion. To explain the explosion after.
Good job by the way. I wish I'd joined the forces.

A stun grenade is when you lob one in and it hits one of those baddies in the head and he says "wtf??!!"
