Look on the bright side guys: Instead of knifing you to death or stabbing you repeatedly with a AIDS infected needle, he could have blown cigarette smoke in your face. There's a warning on the cigarette packets these days you know:  SMOKING KILLS.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Cheers Steve

Guys, I'm an Englishman I thought the game was fantastic.  Both sides showed great strength, vigour and determination.  The disallowed try was the right decision and was proved by a video replay.  Even though England were defeated I thought they played like LIONS and made the footballers look...

Just like your service number, your passing out parade is something you never forget: This was undoubtedly one of the very best days of my life and one that will proudly stay in my memories forever. It was a warm sunny morning in October 1983 and we spent some time making last minute...

I guess the martial arts subject is always a good one for conversation. However, have many of you suffered accidents whilst training? Last year I suffered damage to my internal organs, from a blow. I was in a lot of pain for some weeks and at one point thought my number was up. Anyway and...

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Get upset if you're too busy to talk to them for a week. MILITARY FRIENDS: Are glad to see you after years, and will happily carry on the same conversation you were having last time you met. CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Never ask for food. MILITARY FRIENDS: Are the reason you have...

I live in the North East of England in the UK.  I've found the stats of where people come from very informative.  It shows that people communicate with each other on this website from all over the world. Now that is fantastic and it shows how great this site really is. All the very best guys...

I recently watched "The Guardian" starring Kevin Costner.  I thought that was really good and would recommend it. Has anybody seen the new Eddy Murphy movie yet.  It looks kinda funny from the trailers I've seen? Cheers Steve

Boredom may well be a soldiers worst enemy, but on the other hand, humour is a soldier's best friend. ;D Amusing, funny videos, I thought.  Nice one. ;D All the best Steve

I'm currently reading a book called Baptism Of Fire by Frank Collins.  Its about a british army guy who joins the SAS.  He takes part in the Iranian Embasy Seige in 1981 as well as service in Northern Ireland and a host of other hotspots around the globe.  After his military service he is...

Protected:  I agree wholeheartedly with your commenst.  I sometimes dream that I've joined up again and am back in the military.  I get these dreams a couple of times a year, but usually after I've done or read something related to the subject. Cheers Steve

I found this on another site. The Dutch host was apparently sacked, but I thought he had a great sense of humour. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e837119690 Note:  Give the video time to buffer. What do you think? ;D Cheers Steve

This is an interesting topic.  I used to think that people just dream whats on their mind, but my experiences over the years, particularly when dreaming about my late father on two occasions and a former marine colleague who unfortunately passed away, I often wonder. However, I always find it...

I drove past my old Royal Marines Recruitment office today. Its a ferkin cane furniture shop now. I still smile when I pass it though because I'll never forget when I walked in there for the first time and some big fat sailor asked me what I wanted. "I want to join the Royal Marines." I said...

Its just happened again!! ;D.  It was different though because I didn't dream it. ;D ::)  But I did see it twice!! ;) Cheers Steve

I seem to be getting a fair bit of Deja Vue at the moment.  I've been told it a momentary lapse in concentration, but sometimes I wonder. What's the general opinion on this?  It is deam related, isn't it! Cheers Steve

What is age? When I turned 40.  I was a former Royal Marine and a fully fledged ninja and my sensei told me that age was a figment of the imagination.  He asked me at that time what my thoughts were.  The answer was: Mohamad Ali won the world title at 50 so that can't be that old.  Our...

I'll always remember getting the train home and rushing to my local to sink lots of ale.  In the 80's last orders was at 10:30 pm so I used to walk in the bar at 9pm and order 5 pints of guiness.  Of course they were destroyed by 11pm but I was thirsty and that was my way of quenching it. I...
