Gemmill 35902 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'd take army prison over active service in Iraq, I reckon. And the Iraqis would be thankful for it too. I'm like Universal Soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35902 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Aye I wouldn't sign up in the first place like. Lad I know in America signed up for the reserves or whatever they call them over there, purely so he could get his college fees paid. Two years into his work career they go to war and he's potentially going to have to serve in Afghanistan or Iraq??? Fuck that. I reckon any potential employer would overlook that sort of criminal record tbh. Most of the country thinks we shouldn't be there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I don't know how it works (Criminal Record-wise) but I'd guess the sentences for that sort of thing are pretty long to act as a deterrent.

Kid Dynamite 6102 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 You get one weekends wage a month iirc. Im probably biased cos my uncle is quite high up in the TAs and he is the biggest bell end I have ever met in my life. Born and bred in Blyth he now sees himself as some type of Hoora Henry. He isnt.

I was going to post that you were a cowardly hom, but then I thought I couldn't be arsed to state the obvious. No offence to anyone in the TA, but it does tend to attract the wierdos.....

Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) It's time I came clean, there's no way on god's earth that I would ever get a fucking MBE. My uncle was honoured with one in the new years honours list and as he's a Captain in the army they don't get to find out in advance if they've been nominated. So all's I was wondering is if there are any privileges that come with it. I heard Jasper Carrot's daughter got married for free at St Pauls Cathedral cos her fatha had some honour bestowed on him akin to a MBE. Basically wor lass wants to know if she can get married there on the basis that he's my uncle. Told her she'd have to find someone to agree to marry her first though cos theres no fucking chance I would, free or not. Also I'm trying to find a list with all the nominees on, all I can find is a Queens List and he's not on it, your help will be much appriciated.
