Feeling the strain?

Not necessarily my opinion:

That should come as no surprise to any of us. Although it was interesting to see that whilst the RN and RAF have double the divorce rate of the army, it is seen that the army have the biggest problem. Suggests that there was more in the survey that didn't make the newspaper article.

Much more interesting (to me anyway) was a couple of clicks away from that article was this one taken from the Observer 10 Nov 02:
Special fighter jets, termed Quick Response Aircraft, have been based at RAF Marham in Norfolk, RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall and RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset to provide additional cover from hijacked planes. The pilots have already had psychological training to prepare them for the task of shooting down any civilian aircraft being used as a terrorist weapon.
OK Hands up...who got this trg? And what the hell are you doing at those airfields? Get back to work!

Cool

Please allow me the opportunity of when we next meet, of showing you my dictionary. It really is very interesting you know, - it defines the meaning of all the words you could ever think of, for example;
a) Conception
b) Sedition
c) Insubordination

Just think what fun the rest of the P-Pruners will have not knowing that we are good friends!!

Be careful, my old friend, - you never know who reads this and what information they can gather.
