Hair Force

Well chaps I suppose it comes to us all. The older I get the longer it is taking to wash my face. Ive thought of "syrup" but to be honest I would look a burk, or at least a bigger burk than I look already. I was talking to a mate the other day and she remarked at how lovely my hair USED to be! I thanked her for her considered view and wepted deep inside at had once been. I think the saddest part for me is the evendential remains of a few strands still attached to the top of my swede that become visable is certain light conditions. Brave souls that they are, they resist the urge of flight inflicted upon their once many friends now demised by time. Still, as with love it is better to have had hair than never to have had any.. I guess. Sad though reader, it really was a nice head of hair. Im the chap in the middle aged 18.. Ahhh bless him! If only he knew then what I know now!!!

Yes I remember him well Which in todays musings brings me onto my next blurb:

Why do the British Government continue to rely on four nuclear armed submarines to guard us when at the same time running down the RAF to its lowest ebb since its inception in 1918? Why would the Army be outnumbered by a capacity crowd at Wembley? What could be the point of a all fur coat and no knickers submarine force that in no way could help in the isometric form of warfare we are currently called to fight. what use is spending a quarter of the defence budget on a system that is all but useless in fighting the wars we may face. If we need nuclear weapons then there are cheaper options and we may even be able then to afford some maritime patrol aircraft and not have to ask the Norwegian Air Force to go and have a look see if there are any Russian Subs in our waters. Is it the Chiefs of Staff or the Ministry of Defence again at fault. Are they not telling Ministers that really they are the cheifs of sod all! If you were to ask me (as an vet of some 22 odd years service) what I would like, it would be a lot more infantry please..

Do I want four nuke submarines....Cant see the point if we have (as has now been stated by a service chief) we do not have enough conventional forces to even protect the home islands. Not only does this mean we would have to used Nuclear Weapons to make up for inadequate conventional forces, but the government is now culpable and failed in it prime purpose: the defence of the realm.

My favorite PC story this week concerns a Typhoon air defence pilot who has cost the state £8 million pounds to train (there are more astronauts than Typhoon Pilots) and is the first female pilot to become qualified.. She is on maternity leave...... ! I bet her Squadron Commander is doing his nut quietly.. Nothing like good timing is there.
