    I get the impression that that was one of the drivers. There was something of a collective failure of humour over that and related issues...

    The Swedes have sent some Gripen to JW, one of the reasons for the invitation was that they were keen to do a joint drop for the NBG.

      Maybe but their could be job implications for them maybe and it would cost a lot more

        Obviously I'm out of date - I know that the invitation and most general of discussions took place about a year ago, but that all went quiet and there had been no reply as of about 3 months ago.

        It pleases me more than you know to find out that Ireland is participating...

              It's a USMC formation - broadly analogous with 148 By RA (but obviously not as good, in fact some of their people have problems with shoelaces and are a 'kin menace to all around them...) - they provide fire support teams to allied formations and do all the forward air control, naval gunfire support and Artillery observation.

              Or not....

                I am working around the corner from their barracks in london, and all day today there have been Chinooks landing and taking off from there.
                It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
                It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
                It was a new age...It was the end of history.
                It was the year everything changed.

                  They've probably got a do on at the Mess...

                  If anyone gets the opportunity for a junket - I mean if anyone is chosen to undertake the vital and serious work of furthering Ireland's interests by defence engagement with the HAC - do try and take advantage of their hospitality, they really are very good.

                  Having a private, unit income that is well in excess of the MOD funding they get helps somewhat in that regard!

                    I've heard them all day, think they've been sending all the fat top brass out to Ex Joint Caterer. Ropebag looks like a buddha now, the cad.

                      You're just jealous of my titties.

                      E2A: I've got mong hands, disliked in error - surely someone can sort that out?

                        Disliked in error my ass. Next time you're in Kitchiner gimme a bell, you owe me a glass of wine for such a faux pas.

                        Sorry, back on topic. ANGLICO are charlatans. Sure, there may be some diamonds but having been on the net to them in UK and America, they weren't great. Keep in mind, I was shite too.
