    Trehorn - Firstly, while I sometimes have respect for what you post on, right now I think you have crossed a line. It is not in my opinion appropriate to post information without context as to what has gone on, and in the process of doing so, set out to create material which could cause embarassment to the RNR. You may think its embarrassing, hell, if I heard the circumstances I may agree with you. BUT in my mind, the RR forum is not the most appropriate place to conduct a running commentary on what your unit is, or is not doing. For gods sake think before you post.

    Do the Army have submarines now?

    Submariners seldom cheat, and NEVER lie!

    Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?

    We have always had them. You try driving a Land Rover across a river.

    Maybe it's time to shut up shop if you're asking the army for boats.

    The only difference being is that your 90 has sonar and my 110 won't start.

    Bollox, missed a contentious post. Gutted.
    Dum Spiro Spero

    I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.

    In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
    They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....
    It is an utmost proudness of myself to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire.

    You never missed much, but I'll give you a rundown. I'll change the names to protect the innocent.

    Popeye dripped about asking the army for the loan of a boat.
    Humphrey got his knickers in a twist about airing dirty laundry.
    Popeye retorted, but I missed it.
    I'm guessing here, but I imagine a flurry carrier pigeons sent messages back and forth before Popeye backed up like George Michael in an LA toilet.
    The end.
