Agony Aunt My ARRSE

The MoS reveals that lorrainne kelly is to host an agony aunt coloum in the RAF news. Please tell me this is a joke. I've been ex RAF for 2 years now but unless the world has stood on its head in the interim this story is going to lead to heavy pi## taking in the purple zone that will need to be addressed by some serious psycological assistance from a publicity seeking celeb who........ Oh!

You would want to think it's a joke, but just look at the programs that 'celebrities' get involved with . . .

We'll see

‘There is no fee involved. Lorraine is delighted to help out. She supports the Forces wholeheartedly and does as much as she can in her spare time.’ An RAF source said: ‘Lorraine offered to be our Agony Aunt for nothing and we are delighted to have her. We expect plenty of letters.’

Give her a chance.

Well I think its a great idea.............Using gay icon Lorraine "can you see my growler" Kelly as an agony aunt is a master stroke. Im sure with her vast experience she will be ideal to deal with the problems our sensitive light blue colleagues may be confronted with..............

It could be worse they might have used that other "airhead" from GMTV.....Fiona "I Love Nu Labour" Phillips...............Good Grief!!!!!

Of course she'll be able to empathise with families or anyone else traumatised by what's going on (and selected successes will no doubt find their way onto the small screen to show what a hero she was - unpaid too . . . . right - well I'm convinced)

We should be honoured that 'celebrities' wish to get involved . . . hmm

Well it's started:

Army Rumour Service > > Forums > > The Badger's ARRSE > > The NAAFI Bar > > Lorraine Kelly is Agony Aunt for the RAF

although they appear to be a bit distracted by some old grot photos of LK at the moment!

Is it just a happy coincidence that Lorraine Kelly = EGLK = Blackbushe.

The last photo I saw reminded me of Terry Waite's allotment, rather unkempt and weed choked. The airfield needs some attention too.

Does anyone seriously believe that she will have any input to the articles except to add her name to pieces written by others?

If she's doing it for free it is still a waste of money and column inches!

As no one else is too bothered about drifting (from the thread), I'm sure LK's advice will shed some positive light at the end of the tunnel for some!.

In the pic above, I can't help thinking the chap with the sword looks just like Sgt (later Mr (WO2)) Benton from the John Pertwee period of Dr Who. Maybe those are U.N.I.T. troops on parade
