    It's a professional career

    If you're out of luck you're out of work
    We could send you to johannesburg.

      They are going as UN after all. On a peace keeping mission. And Hot Pink is hardly the colour of peace now is it.

      Thanks for the marine tracker link Orion. Seriously cool how you can see what's in your area, and it's previous course.

      TC: On a side note, went for a run today, and all I could think of during was your post saying you were training for a marathon. What possessed you man? Lunacy. When does running that much even begin to be a good idea.

        That might conflict with their sky blue helmets

            Yip, you're right.

              I think in this colour scheme even they are safe from any stray Somalian Pirates that might be lurking in the med,

                The whole idea of White UN Vehicles - white UN Compounds etc is to make them as visible as possible

                therefore bad guys cant realisticly say- we didnt see them.- I remember charging (yes charging)

                in 2 very very white APC's to the cross roads at At Tiri to prevent bad guys with no foreskins

                blowing up a house containing an old couple- we then proceeded to use the roof of this house as a

                FOB- we must of had 3 coats of white wash on that building in record time and a big fkuc off UN sign

                on all sides- the foreskinless ones never came near that particular house again.
                Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
                The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                Are full of passionate intensity.

                    Looks to me as if the Armour, combat vehicls remain white, but the Logs vehicles(which I presume would not be travelling unescorted) remain Green.


                    Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                        good work Hedgie, it's amazing what that armour plated white paint can do, although i hear placing pigs in the garden has the same effect with those you mention.

                        seriously though well done - that's one of the very good stories about UN work and something to be proud of.

                          My little tale of woe was merely to explain why UN vehciles are white (because they need to be seen)

                          My tale (Coming to a cinema this August starring Brad Pitt as H Hogg)

                          is something that every lad who served overseas (except the Naquora rats) will have done

                          day in and day out, I specifically didnt mention any nationalities either ecause as UN

                          we go in neutral and favour neither party.

                            fair one Hedgie but it's still all good and worthy of recognition, i genuinely mean that too.

                              HH, that was extremely ballsy considering that could have turned nasty.. Fair play.

                              Out of interest, where was the house?
