More fool them. I'd have more respect for someone that managed to stay alive. Getting yourself killed is neither big nor clever.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

What planet are you on?

Re: Lest we forget...
 

The planet controversy... Try not to feed his more trolley posts.:sneaky:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

they're all trolley:lol:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

I think there is a valid position in arguing that modern day professional soldiers are aware of the risks that they face and yet they sign up to do a job, therefore its just a workplace hazard. Arguing that all soldiers are just there cos they like to shoot others is going beyond that, pushing the boundaries of good taste and reason for sure, but is probably not breaking any rules here. Is it trolling, posting to provoke an outraged response? Its close, that's for sure.

Calling someone a tit cos you dont like their position on a subject however is bordering on abusive posting, which is against the rules;)

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Is it? I'm always doing that :lol:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

.... I see the Daily Mail have picked up on this story.

It's got "The War", youth of today and failing educational standards under new Labour - It's the Mail equivalent of a perfect storm.

Some of the reader comments are proper mental.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

:lol: thanks Sal.

Iaink - apologies for calling him a bad name, although, had I not been a semi-lady, it would have been much worse;). Surely suggesting his posts are Trolley, is also a bit naughty?

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Its the Daily Mail, I'd be surprised if the majority of comments are not proper mental!

Re: Lest we forget...
 

But can you put your shopping in them?

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Just needs house prices.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

only the bigger ones:lol:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

I figured you were holding back. Unfortunately as the moderator sometimes its my job to decide what's trolley and what isnt...

Debate is good, Abuse is bad, Posting just to get a rise is bad, rising to the bait too is not good, it just encourages more nonsense. Big grey areas in the middle...

Re: Lest we forget...
 

We all rise to the bait from time to time, I think I do not bad on here and behave on the whole. Can I just say that he is disrespectful then?

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Thanks for reminding us (again) that you're a moderator. Lest we forget.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Any time Baz, Any time.:sneaky:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Actually - it's too easy to wind people up in this thread; a bit like kicking a puppy. I think I shall concentrate on more cerebral trolling.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

History repeating itself innit. Turns out its the same thread as last year, or the year before, or was it the year before that...

Re: Lest we forget...
 

....nice of everyone to turn out for the benefit of us newbies.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

There are some topics we never tire of. Witness the 30 page 'why do you want to go to Canada thread'.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

I'll pass thanks.... there is only so much I can take. Have a good weekend, play nice!

Re: Lest we forget...
 

:rolleyes:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Ah would that it were so.:wub:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

This feeble attempt to mimic a Japanese speaker is in extremely poor taste given the sensitive topic of this thread. :frown:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

is there a vickies smilie??? you'd be getting it about now......:lol:

Re: Lest we forget...
 

....F*** 'em - they shouldn't have dropped the first nuclear bomb on Pearl Harbour.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

This sort of behaviour should be nipped in the bud.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Merely misinformed and uneducated methinks.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Enough education to know that methinks is one word. An absurd word, but one.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

"Aiiiieeeee!!!!" :p

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Have you boys and girls been having fun?

I think I'll refrain from repeating my controversial "olympic class synchronized knee jerking" remark from last year's thread.

Oops.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Oo go on, that was fun.

How was the curry tonight?

Re: Lest we forget...
 

That's a very interesting question. The local takeaway went out of business for a while, (not enough brits around here I suppose), but it's re-opened under new management and with a new chef.

The onion kulcha and the samosas are a great deal better; OH enjoyed her butter chicken and my kahari beef was really quite acceptable.

Thanks for asking.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

Vicarious curry eating.

Can you have lamb next week, maybe a rogan josh?? I quite like sag paneer too. No samosas for me though. Maybe a pakora or onion bhajee?

Re: Lest we forget...
 

There's a photo on the slideshow we have going on the plasma screen in our office of a curry I had on a conference in Manchester in the summer. I positively weep every time I see it.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

I hear ya, I share those tears.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

This is problematic. That last lot had all these things, but now the best we can offer is Kahari Ghost. Onion Bhaji and pakora are still available.

Why don't you pop round some Friday?

Re: Lest we forget...
 

I hope it was funnier last year than this year.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

It had the effect that you would often only expect from a particularly nasty Vindaloo.

Re: Lest we forget...
 

I'll take your word for it. Started trolling on this thread myself, but realized that it was ultimately a hollow experience and I was just doing it because I could rather than because it was funny.
