Not sure, moggiee - but I'm sure that Tonkenna could advise you about penguins and Upland geese. Quite a few of the latter to be seen near the Base Aerea Gringo ATC tower in the Islas Malvinas, eh Tonks.....

And anyone who thinks that there are sound military reasons for keeping the QRA force on down there - they too can go to Room 101!!

My Ex wife

Divorce solicitors

Mobile, hidden, sneaky speed cameras

Rugby – I’m sorry but throwing yourself around in the mud and putting your head between another man’s legs, despite popular opinion, is simply not for officers.

The chap who decided to close Chivenor and keep Valley open - Worst decision ever.

Beags,

A good reason to keep southern QRA – It used to keep me away from my ex wife for 6 weeks every year – Tip Top times

traffic calming

most of the A1

plastic cutlery (should be plastic not-cutlery)

If there's any room left
Recruitment "consultants"--low level vermin one and all !

Highways Agency tossers who cannot be bothered to switch off the overhead signs or update them as to traffic conditions

Middle lane morons and those who think cruise control is the best thing since sliced bread !

Customer Service--oxymoron--agents !

Daily Mail, Sun, Mirror, Star "readers".

A certain ex girlfriend---weights optional to ensure she never surfaces to inflict herself on humanity again.

Footballers !

Any politician you care to name--not just the usual suspects ! My MP has suddenly surfaced after 4 years of obscurity--wonder why ?

1. Options for Change – Conservatives gutting the mil whilst claiming to support it
2. Frontline first - as above
3. Nicholas Soames - Fat arrogant t*at
4. The Peace Dividend - more jobs less money
5. The 'Air Defence' F-3 Tornado - Better off arming Chipmunks

In no particular order:

1. 'professional' footballers
2. the media
3. politicians
4. the not insignificant percentage of our 'leaders' who seek only the serve themselves

ps Old Git - There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing rugby - I've played it for years and it hasn't done me any harm - except for a frozen shoulder, bad knees, knuckles and neck, as well as various scars and broken teeth!

Still, playing the game was my decision and I take full responsibility for that - I just wish our namby-pamby, politically-correct, nanny-state lordships would take some of the responsibilty for their constant c0ck-ups!

MIDAS - The Motorway Incident Detection And Signalling system
This jolly piece of kit (for which I am responsible in Cheshire) is the automatic system that sets the overhead signs that "Highways Agency tossers who cannot be bothered to switch off"
Just look out for the loops in the road and the poor bastard in the day-glo jacket, hunched over to keep the rain out, who is fiddling in the roadside cabinet trying to get the damn thing to work properly. It will be me . . .

And on the subject of Motorway Signals a lot of them were installed in the early 70's and they're still operating reliably . . . ish thirty years later.

Here's my vote for room 101

My desk officer
The entire admin branch
Civil servants
That tosser of a WO at HQ STC who told me I couldn't go have a Bergen to go to Iraq and said I could either have 60kg worth of sausage bags or to take a suitcase. F****ing chisselling wan*er prbably doesn't even have a passport let along go on deployment (you may have guessed this certain person annoyed me).
The entire supply branch
My desk officer
Fat WRAFs who can't even waddle their way to level 3 on the AFT.
PC nonces
Bliar and Buff
And birds with hairy arm pits.
Oh yes and Cherie Bliar for being a sanctimonious tosser.

Why do you think we keep having defence cuts, and other peoples wars in other peoples countries - Not enough troops left for a coup of any size. Maybe Bliar and Prescott aren't that stupid after all. Better put both back in 101.

Yarpy and Gainsey,

What! You seriously want the military to run the whole country? They can't make a decent job of organising, equipping and motivating less than 180,000 people, let alone 60 million.

BTW,

Remind me again, what is the punishment for mutiny?

Isn't it Courts Martial followed by immediate cessation of choccy rations for all involved?

But you could always try extreme provocation as a defence - any reasonably impartial Judge who likes fox hunting and hates the left will agree with you, let you off and recommend you for a peerage.

Tally-ho, up the revolution!
