So, which happy volunteer will crawl out from under the Jeremy stone? Certainly 'ill-health' could explain the poor performance. he said, being kind......

'Throwing a sickie to dodge the final exam' would be more likely.

From the Daily Fail:

Senior Labour figures said Ms Abbott had been 'diagnosed with a serious, long-term condition'.

Well, they didn't hire us to be nice in combat, did they? ;)

Only 'nice' guy I knew got chopped off the OCU for precisely that reason.

I always liked the description of the Kill-o-Zap gun in The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it, then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with.'"


Some people, of course, can only see the gun. Most intelligent people are glad they are friends with the guy at the 'right end'.

Well, they didn't hire us to be nice in combat did they- indeed, and I performed on spec managing to Fox3 my boss in a 1v4 on the 'Frightening'. Good career move, that................. :))

Good one!
I have also discovered that the Boss of the QWI Course doesn't like it if you beat him in a rolling scissors.

And the General Commanding the US 17th Air Force doesn't like it when a first tourist in a Tornado F3 shoots him in his new American Wonderjet.
Twice.

Never had a career anyway - might as well enjoy ourselves, eh?

I was shocked at Corbyn's comparison with Ms. Abbot and the Ethiopian outhouse he used while out on a mission. He said that the Ethiopian outhouse hole was smaller and didn't smell so bad.
