Don't know if it's Walting when it's a soldier doing it, but this is a particular sad bit of behaviour - A feted 96 year old US veteran, hailed as D-Day hero, awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Legion of Honour admits he was in Northern Ireland at the time.

What a dick.
I read that, very sad. A revered soldier actually turned out to be a lifetime Walt... finally uncovered.
It would seem an apt time for me to admit, publicly, that in all honesty, I did not fight at the Battle of Borodino.

That's right you didn't.

You're Spartacus! He's Spartacus! And him! Himmunnall!

Definitely fantasists. Not sure about what though. At best they think they're some sort of bad to the bone hells angel lot. Other than that, there has to be some reason why you'd dress up as a bunch of identical gay pirates.

Does anyone know what recursive means? An example

Someone complains about someone on Pistonheads who does not meet their criteria for being the right sort. I then complain on Pistonheads about that person complaining they are not not the right sort being not the right sort.

A recursive argument.

Continue

Sad bds after so many pages. No life?

No, me neither. Wallowing in blubber with the only muscles existing on my hunt and peck fingers for the keyboard.

PS Just like Whiskas 8 out of 10 PH folk learnt what recursive meant, so some uptick to the last 130 plus pages.

You are clearly having a MAJOR EVENT.

I have despatched the nearest 4x4 emergency team to your location.

They will place cones around you and direct ordinary members of the public away from you until you have recovered.

Over.

Yup! It's when you feel you have a lot to say, but are cursed with a lack of eloquence, so you resort to swearing over and over again in your PH posts. Cursing, repeatedly. I feel compelled to do this a lot on PH in order to fit in with the established crowd...



Now what do I win???

Public awareness and education about their role, probably. I've seen them at places like the Goodwood FoS in the past, doing a quiet bit of recruitment on the side too.

Would you ask a similar question about an armoured vehicle and a section of soldiers at a public event? Miles away from the nearest war, after all... wink

PR exercise, we attend a few every year to publicise what we do. The service has been going 13 years and there are still a lot of motorists who don't know who we are and what we do. wink
