I actually quite enjoyed my time there, it isnt anywhere near as grim as im making out thats just a left over from when I was in the mob - nobody wanted a posting to Catterick

Oh dear Stockholm Syndrome :rofl:

Yes aren't all infantry are trained at the ITC? but their Depot (or Regimental Home Barracks) is at Sir John Moore Barracks, Shorncliffe ;)

festering scumbag

No Andy dont do it, dont you know that nobody reads stickies lol

I would ask that this thread be "stickied" but maybe that isnt such a good idea cos if everyone else is like me it will never get read :rofl:

http://www.vchero.co.uk/pb/wp_496a0c3b/wp_496a0c3b.html Maybe its just because I'm an "old soldier" my self but I'm proud to say this mans treatment brought tears (of shame) to my eyes. Kirbz I fully understand and agree with your point on uncontrolled illegal immigration maybe the problem lies in the fact that Gurkhas are decent and honorouble men. I bet you wont see any of them jumping into the back of a lorry at Sangatte.

what like this chap tried to in 2006 so what if he needs medication and the nhs has to take up the slack, he served OUR country with distinction and honour he won the VC ffs he deserved to be treated with humilty by the FO and instead was treated worse than an immigrant from just about anywhere else imho its just shameful

the petition is asking for the British Gurkas to given british citizenship not the ones who have served the indian army

yes I cant remember the exact numbers but the Indian army also has Gurkha regiments

Ive been looking at a car for my daughters 21st and Ive been whitling down my list by looking for small cars with a high euro ncap rating - there arent many

Mickey got out of hospital late last night, they pulled a couple of bits of shrapnel out of the back of his neck but left the ones in his back for some reason, mind you he has that many piercings he probably wont notice the difference :rofl: Some pics of the damage

nah we are well bracketed now they just aim for the air traffic tower plus we are close enough to the city that they can attack from inside built up areas - fookin cowardly scumbags

Happy bday :duffer:

not that i know of m8, they're arent many CP guys here, just the ones that work for the FCO but I've no idea who they work for

iraq m8

The guys who were hit but have been released from the hospital are all in our bar at the moment lol they are a bit shaken and have a few cuts n bruises but are otherwise ok - no word on Mickey yet but he was able to walk into the ambulance so hopefully he will be ok.
