Army Thread - Sunday,24th July

Good Morning.

Don't know how to start the thread this morning, but can every one today say a prayer or spend a quiet moment for the victims in Norway.

BBC News - Norway suspect Anders Behring Breivik 'admits attacks'

Definitely prayers are being said. This is so tragic.

Morning Tippers,

Yep very very hard to comprehend.


2nd cup of coffee being drunk and watching the weather with a keen eye. Might be up to 19C today. Watch out for nekkid Brits.

The wind is howling here. The Souteaster is pulling out all stops. It'll bring some rain, I guess.

We can spot British tourists from miles away - they are almost invariably half dressed and look like lobsters from the African sun.

The Germans are also easy to spot; sandals & socks.

Aha that wouldn't be moi. Although all my photos show me as a right pasty faced Englander I tan very easily without the lobster red.

Mind you I suppose the St George's flag tattooed on me back is a right give away.

:H We were just having a laugh about being able to spot different nationalities the other day-from miles away. As you can imagine-summertime in Paris=loads of tourists. It is funny how even before you hear them speak-you know! We can even tell the difference between the Americans and English-even though the "colouring" can be the same-they have different ways of dressing and gestures . A different "body language" I guess.
And yes-Norway. God, it is really beyond ones comprehension how a single person could have done such evil to innocent young people. And carefully planned it all. I am just saddened, shocked and disgusted. Beyond words.

:H:H xpost. Yes, JC-the St.George's flag would be a helpful hint too!!:H

You're lucky, JC. I tend to burn and peel... The fact that my bald pate is becoming increasingly exposed doesn't help.

Ugh. I have to go to the shops later for the week's supplies. Not really in the mood for it today.

HDC, Tippers. High Dose Caffeine is what I'd recommend.
