mick how about gabriel's oboe from The Mission- cracking piece of music. I found a piece of music which sums up war even better than barber's adagio for strings- Sergeant Mackenzie which appears in When we were soldiers. i defy anybody not to have the hairs on the back of their neck standing on end.

some real ales don't make brilliant shandy, seems to be only the southern ones that make a nice shandy:001_tongue: apart from Old peculier which makes an absolutely belting shandy on a really hot summers day as it is a bit on the heavy side for a hot day:thumbdown: but thats the only drawback.

he did say there was camping frank but he failed to say was that for anyone north of watford gap it's the uk border agency camp in kent:001_tongue:

unfortunately i will be at the leeds festival consuming obscene amounts of alcohol and listening to some great bands and some possibly great bands in the unsigned tent.

this is probably one of the closest polls i've ever seen on here.

just looked at the spiderlift site. that 12t arcade looks a handy piece of kit and it is rated for outdoor use as well as indoor.

TCD, to go down the fictitious character route it would have to be Richard Sharpe of the 95th rifles- born the son of a whore, raised in a foundling home, became a murderer (ironically this happened not far from me in Wetherby), joined the army as a private and worked, or should that be killed,his way up to Lt-Col and probably made more enemies on his own side doing it but didn't care. But a real person from the same era would be The Peer himself, the Duke of Wellington a great leader of men by being so detached and disparaging of them by calling them the scum of the earth, they fought harder to gain his approval.

it would have to be Douglas Bader, doesn't matter what problems you've got, you can overcome them to achieve your goals; he definitely lived up to the RAF's motto Per Ardua Ad Astra- through hardship to the stars. Socially though it would have to be Dick winters' fellow officer 'buck' compton who was friends with officers and men alike.

nick, you could try british military fitness, basically you get streamed according to your level of fitness and the best thing is they are usually in a local park so plenty of fresh air and changing scenery instead of staring at a mirror or tv screen:thumbdown: best bet would be to google it.

when i did my NC at houghall in 98/99 we had a couple of lads on the new deal who were at least 20 stone and they were like bloody monkeys round the tree:scared1: Just goes to show just cos a blokie is a touch on the large side doesn't mean he won't be able to do the work. just my tuppence worth and as a few of you know i'm no slim jim but then again i'm not the quickest climber:blushing:

was that the fighting cock? real spit and sawdust place last time i was in there in the 90's.

sounds suspiciously like my student days in durham about ten years ago, still haven't learnt the lesson:001_tongue: my favourite tipple would have to be my local's current guest: Leeds Best from the leeds brewery:001_tt1:

that landy is barely run in especially for a landy and the beauty of them is, as tom has said, you can just replace bits fairly cheaply and also they are quite easy to work on if you have a reasonable grasp of mechanics. Mine is a 2.5td and has done 100k+ miles and the engine is still fairly sound apart from a blown exhaust manifold gasket and the breather pipe filling the air filter with oil.

lmao when i saw this giles:001_cool:

my first vehicle was an r-reg mwb semi-high roof transit which i got for 1k but was written off in a collision that the police said was a 50/50 due to me having to cross the give way line to see oncoming traffic. this was followed by my current van a citroen dispatch and i have my infamous landy 90 (see capel manor thread).

dean lofthouse, the ragged arse philanthropist:001_tongue: seriously though dean highly commendable of you.

tommy i think if you had explained a bit of the history behind the story, there might not have been the backlash. however apology accepted mate:beerchug:

if the old one turns up after he has got a replacement, the old one becomes the property of the insurance company:thumbdown:

i was bullied quite severely at school to the point that it was affecting me to such a degree that i had to see a psychologist. Being on the receiving end of the bullies ain't fun lads and it certainly ain't funny being a victim.

on the cotswold website it says that the julbo sunglasses are not suitable for driving.

like i said dean: private lofthouse+beer = disaster for one party or the other.
