Word is a few of the Type 23 will be put out for disposal before time too, even though Argyll was to go in 2023, with one a year after that. Seems now first four will go together.

That's a big chip you are hauling there. Brown shoes or black?
Mod: Play the ball not the man

Best of luck buying one of the derelict sites in Dublin to build a house on. You may think it's worth f-all until you develop it, but the market says otherwise. And you can take that from me, someone...

The difficulty handing over an unused portion of Tralee Barracks to the DoJ for construction of a new courthouse is a prime example of this.

Problem is the Permanent members of the UNSC.

Exactly. The Crew at Culdrose are already pretty busy. I doubt there will be a separate Tower crew there just to operate the digital tower?

The thing that is most unsettling is the "we know what's best" attitude on display by some in the DoD.
The circles they went to get a civvy contractor (only 2 months later, when the DF got seats on...

Culdrose is a busy spot for it.

The West does not want to be seen to interfere further in the affairs of Africa, lest they be accused of imperialism, and giving the extremists fodder.

Here we go again...

The borders of African states were not drawn by Africans. This is partly the problem. Introduction of religion from outside Africa is another problem. The fact that most of the natural resources in...

It's fair to say, regarding access by road to the largest Barracks in Munster, is it makes it easier to defend.
Well done to the bright person who thought in the LATE 1990s a second entrance onto...

The disposal of former Defence force property has been a shining example of how the DoD does business. Sady it's not their fault, as (mis)management and disposal of property is down to the OPW.

Were some parts ever safe?
MONUSCO replaced MONUC in 2010, MONUC had been there since 1999 after the Second Congo war. The second war had immediately followed the first war of 1996, which itself was...

linky no worky.

I fear you are correct. It has taken 10, maybe 15 years to bring it this far, and now momentum is lost. Just like the Medium Lift helis for the Air Corps, once it was off the table, it was gone, and...

Rescuing and feeding those escaping conflict at sea is not remotely comparable to topping up the prosecco for the mayor's wife.

The Type the lads trained on in the US also has the clamshell doors, only larger. Almost as practical as a heli with a rear ramp.

This is a huge loss of experience, not to mention continuity. Used to be OCNOC became FOCNS, as a matter of course. Seems that will no longer be the case. We are also approaching a stage where most...

That was the mission. They weren't socialising.

With respect, nonsense. Things have moved on from that.

You can't expect to retain the best of our people if you expect them to act as scullery maids any time a VIP turns up. I doubt you would...
