Dear Jockistaniman Journo,

The quote you claim to have come from a 'disgruntled serviceman', did not. It came from a civilian who retired prematurely from the Armed Forces last year having served for 35 years when the scale of the Treasury-driven downward spiral into mediocracy became so blindingly obvious! It was nothing to do with BuffHoon's defence cuts, it was to warn people NOT to attempt to make direct contact with chip-wrapper scibblers.

One deep-fried Mars Bar too many, perhaps?

Which is why you should NEVER trust a journo to get his facts right about the Armed Services!

(Edited to add: Except for specialists, of course, Jacko!)

But if you want a scoop, 'twas I who first coined the term BuffHoon!
