Wonder if redistributing rubble and (hopefully) removing the Taliban in Afghanistan will herald a new ear of Christian / Muslim peace....??

Anybody else think the journalist just released was just a stupid ta*t and was really lucky not to get slotted ??

Wouldnt it be really nice (yeah bit of a Christmas wish list) if our TransAltlantic Cousins decided to clamp down on their countries support for Irish terrorism ??

Theres nothing like the Government showing support for our Forces

Buff Hoon is currently being interviewed on Newsnight standing proudly in front of painting of a French Super Etendard

Like I said, Theres nothing like the Government showing support for our Forces.

Kick ass and come back safe chaps and chapesses.

Good Luck to all the guys n girls out in harms way. From the start of day light raids looks like intel is that the anti Aircraft situation is minimal. Go for it do us proud and get everyone back in one piece.

Thank God for British humour in adversity!

Keep it up; we're going to need a lot more of it before we're done.

PS. No significance, I hope, in the "Irish" jokes. Could be Canadian jokes about the Newfies or Belgian jokes about the Walloons or...

Man-on-the-fence,

I would have replied sooner to your post ref Buff sooner, but I've been away on a trip.

I, too, noticed him pontificating in front of the Super Etendard - perhaps someone told him that it was on an exchnage visit to one of our carriers! What an utter twonk he is.

To all the guys out in the Gulf - do what you have to, remember God's on your side and come back safe.

Stop press, I've just heard the IRA has hijacked one of the Goodyear airships. So far it's bounced 16 times off the Post Office Tower in London!
