He failed on that one then!



Because I would struggle to get as good a job in the UK as I have here, there not being many cyclones over there :sneaky: and having spent every penny I had trying to build myself a lifestyle over here (and failing miserably) I now can't afford to go back. I do try hard these days not to whinge about it though, I think I've fallen into a sort of dull acceptance of the place.

You know what could happen don't you Poll ...... One day you will have changed/assimilated to the degree, that you will have real difficulty in ever being able to live in the UK permanently again. I'm certain that has happened to me. Clue... Keep a close look at the nationality of your closest freinds.

In answer to OP's question.... Maybe

Légionnaire, you are a volunteer serving France with "Honour and Fidelity".
Every legionnaire is your brother-in-arms, regardless of his nationality, race, or religion. You will demonstrate this by strict solidarity which must always unite members of the same family.
Respect of traditions, devotion to your leaders, discipline and comradeship are your strengths, courage and loyalty your virtues.
Proud of your status as Legionnaire, you display this in your uniform, which is always impeccable, your behaviour always dignified but modest, your living quarters always clean.
An elite soldier, you will train rigorously, you will maintain your weapon as your most precious possession, you are constantly concerned with your physical form.
A mission is sacred, you will carry it out until the end respecting laws, customs of war, international conventions and, if necessary, at a risk of your life.
In combat, you will act without passion and without hate, you will respect the vanquished enemy, you will never abandon your dead or wounded, nor surrender your arms.
