Ricky's lies are Ricky's lies. If he's stuffed it for himself then that's his problem. My argument is and always has been the RAF's attitude to hayfever and the number that got through. I cocked up initially because I admitted I had it at 16 - I had no advice not to say that I didn't back then. If Ricky can find a way through then he has my full support. There are times and places to adapt the truth and trying to get in by denying such a ridiculous allergy is fully acceptable in my books - there are plenty of pills out there to reduce the effects and as I said before, the number of aircrew who suddenly developed it after OASC always amused me. I withdraw my use of the word sanctimonious as I would hate to cause any ill feeling.
As to shooting you, I would not dream of doing such a thing - I now have a gunner to see to that side of the business!
