If the fuzzy wuzzy's step out of line then I'll threaten to send them a DVD of JOC's finest moments round to them That should do the trick!

Up the owls!!!!

Owlstom, I will spend a moment or two next week giving thanks to all the lads and lasses who serve us so well. You keep safe while over there and hopefully by the time you are back we will be well clear at the top of the division!!

Good luck mate.

Cheers St Charles

Although knowing Wednesday, for that to happen I'd have to go and hide in the Tora Bora caves for at least a year!

Up the owls!!!!

Your days of finger-banging old Mary Jane Rottencrotch through her pretty pink panties are over! You're married to this piece, this weapon of iron and wood! And you will be faithful!

Good luck - fly the blue and white flag high and proud

Safe Trip, return home safe.

Queen & Country..

Prof, I'm taking my flag out with me. I'll hardly be doing a Bravo Two Zero and hoisting it over some natives compound but I'll find a good spot to get a picture of it from

Up the owls!!!!

just a quick bit of shameless self publicism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A bit like the last 4 years you mean?

Grow up LS, if you haven't got anything decent or mature to say on a topic quite relevant to the current time, then why bother.

Up the owls!!!!

Got to agree with the owl.

Football teams aside, our forces get everyones support surely... Regardless of opinion in the war, their safety and welfare matters to everyone..

Grow up...

Joking aside, if i was in the RAF, i'd give serious consideration to bombing Bolton.
I consider them to be in the axis of evil.

Bolton fusiliers played and play a massive part in our army and it's history.

Grow up endbell

I'm amazed that I support an owl and his bravery abroad and you choose that retort.

Says more about you than me.

humour
--bypass--
you

Already wished Tom the best for his tour, lighten up.
My political views about the Axis of Evil is mine and mine alone, and i stand by them.

And that has what to do with Bolton?

Your humour lacks humour. And I know humour. Feel free to backtrack.

I said the view on whether we should be there is irrelevant. I was backing him up.. But you took the cheap shot..

Yeah, whatever. You've bored me.
This isn't a thread for bickering, so lets leave it.
Heil Coyle.

I didn't bicker, I supported a SWFC fan who's brave enough to do that job.

You turned it.

yes i started it. Sorry

Deary me
