    So they do exist.
    Dr. Venture: Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?

    Dr. Venture: Dean, you smell like a whore

      The Swedes were getting them for their EU Battlegroup troops, so presumably we had to do likewise. Either that or it's (very) forward planning for Global Warming...

                Yes, I agree! I saw a Sheik gentleman and his wife passing through Stansted recently. His wife was in the full burqa and he had the full rig including a turban. The thought came to mind that it must have been interesting, or embarrassing, when they came to the security check point.

                  I note the Cosaintoir pic has every headgear under the sun. Surely all should wear the beret for the duration of the mission.

                    Does this mean they've got rid of the old U.S. chocolate chip style one's?

                          Sheiks don't wear Turbans. And the wives of sikhs don't wear Burquas either. So I guess it was just a random foreigner that you saw.

                          They went six months after they were introduced.


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

                            Haven't seen the picture in An Cosantóir yet, but I was watching the coverage on the news of the British Army's 'withdrawal' to Basra Airport, and it struck me once again that any kind of DPM seems unnecessary in that environment. A plain khaki would seem to be most suitable.

                              What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.
