I've just realised that the chap in the piccy looks exactly like someone I knew at Waddo.

Willard,

I was slightly concerned that it was a self-portriat!

Duncs:ok:

Willard Whyte 11th Jan 2013 11:31

Nah Dunc. I've got a goatee.

About those Glocks....

BBC News - Glock 17 9mm pistols replace Browning for UK forces

Was I the only person that noticed:


After a tendering process which lasted just two years from start to finish, the MoD is buying the side-arms to issue to all three services.
Really? 2 years to choose a pistol? And it's not like they are assessing new unproven technology here, the Glock 17 is a 30 year old design.

Jesus, it only took 3 years for the USA Light Weight Fighter program to select the F-16 as the winner, including the time to build and test fly the prototypes.

Got to love our streamlined MOD procurement process.

I think the case of the US gun ownership lobby is succinctly encapsulated in these interviews:

Git yer gunz! Da gubmint is a comin for uz!

Bah! Should have re-opened production of the Webley:

But Willard, the Rorke's Drift incident happened years before the first Webley Mark VI was designed, let alone made! You don't expect creative luvvies to research the subject, do you?

What you need,Sir, is an Adams Mk III revolver for shooting Zulus in the 19th Century...

If truth be known, I don't really give a ****.

However, I do think senior officers should be mandated to wear pith helmets.

Lonewolf_50 11th Jan 2013 19:34

Seems a reasonable request. :E

CoffmanStarter 11th Jan 2013 19:35

WW ... That's taking the pith :}

Unfortunately there are many things in life for which there is no minimum level of intelligence required before you are able to partake. Just a few examples include:




Owning a gun

Driving a vehicle

Voting





and.....





...... accessing internet forums!! :ok:

keesje 11th Jan 2013 22:23

.. make kids

..& let them play with guns because the government could become evil..

I'm a peacefull person but seeing those "my awesome gun" videos makes me want to grab them by the ears and yell at them.

Killing each other with an assault rifle in one hand and that ridiculous 2nd amendment in the other.

The rest of the world has stopped laughing because its so tragic.

T'would be ever so boring without black and red ants to observe in their travails.

Be ever thankful for care in the community.

Lord no! I'd hate to see CAS's. Two different shades of blue with gold piping, no doubt. And CASWO to take a bollocking for failing to prevent him wearing it with CS95.

Willard Whyte 12th Jan 2013 09:38

With CS95 (or whatever it's called this season):

With all due respect, "the rest of the world" (the Eurasian part, in particular) should rather start to care to fully understand how they, the "civilized people", intellectual descendants of Goethe, Voltaire, et hoc genus omne, were able to invent and effectively implement (not so long time ago) at least two of the deadliest totalitarian systems in the history (communism and Nazism)...

Once they realize that, they - I hope - will mitigate their megalomania to easier find out why one can want to have a right to have a gun...

Watching that film of dumb arses is a disturbingly fascinating display of how an inanimate object can be so creatively animated in a stupid way by the dimwit tribe of the human race.

People certainly give guns a bad name. Can't possibly be the opposite.
