they used to have "war" every thursday off the coast of dorset and any nato forces in the area would practice wars. including airforce Portland was a strategic target that had a nuke pointed at it during the cold war years as well as bomb attacks on mainland uk by the ira my aunty was in the Birmingham bombings and my cousin in Bali so i feel safe living in suburban adelaide i do miss pubs i could well do with an english pub right now |

Re: the reasons why i'm here
I once pushed over a Guardsman and caused a domino effect at Windsor castle because his platoon tried to walk through us. We were listening to our walkmans and didn't hear them coming. I was 15 and this was the 80s.
He was angry when I called him and his OC a woodentop and when they got miffed, I said I could beat most of his platoon's BFT times. (Which was true). The policeman was so busy laughing he told me to go home and also bollocked the woodentops for being so aggressive with tourists. |
