I wonder what she'll tell us about her service history...

If you look at the Sky News website you'll see why. Let's hope they are wrong but if they are not it's an appalling kick in the pants by the Army Board who will have let Wales, a nation that has provided soldiers for the UK out of all proportion to its population, down.

Better be glad you're not in the Euro zone, or you wouldn't have any army left by now. The Dutch army is trying to flog all its tanks so the politicians can pay the pensions of the Greeks. What a world.

I saw the invoice - it said 'Paid with tanks'

(Sorry)

Alas, not as funny as you (and I) would like, John. Soon after the Greeks received their first bailout they placed a large order for, yes, wait for it, wait for it... tanks. This downfall of the Euro, down a bottomless pit, is bloody serious business.
