What do you expect from the Torygraph?

Old buffer has-beens are their core demographic, which ties in nicely with the relevance of the Senior Service to modern military operations.

Well, I read the Telegraph and, yes well I suppose I am almost an old RAF buffer has-been (I'm 54 today!) but at least on my previous birthday a Chinook and a TriStar got me home from the 'stan so I'll give a thanks to the "Trishaw." Now, this time next year..... Argh! I'll be a civvie but its too late, I'm institutionalised - well Foldingwings was my boss once! Oh yes, one more thing Stacker, I served in the Senior Service for 8 years so my loyalties have always been a little confused.

Thanks AA. Yes, I recall being a fat git can sometimes help in survival trg. I was disappointed that I didn't lose more excess ballast during the course though.
