British troops to Ukraine.

Is Cameron fucking stupid? Finally out of Iraq and Afghanistan and now what....rattling the Russian Bear's cage. Hitler and Napoleon did the same and guess who won......

75 soldiers in training roles in non-conflict zones. Hardly the Battle of Stalingrad, is it?

[Arginald Valleywater]

I assume there will be special forces doing reccying aswell. Dangerous times.

We're all fucked if we don't start listening to the experts on climate change, Arg.

Dear Arg - first as David says, its only 70 or so guys who no doubt will be
giving expert advice, so hardly the entire British army (though the way
Min of Defence cuts keep going that may soon be the case); secondly, Great
Britain, which suffers from the delusion it is still a great power, was one of
the signatories of Ukrainian Independence, so its not unreasonable that we
are at last seen to do something more than just talk hot air at Putin; thirdly -
and I speak with experience as a pornographer - Ukrainian women are just
about the most beautiful race on the planet and very loving so if our boys
have to go and fight there I am sure they`ll be looked after in the Hot Totty
department !

"Its like Zulu Dawn out there except the foreigners are all Russian!"

If Britain doesnt want all these Johnny Foreigners comin' to our Land of 'ope and glory then we should butt the fuck out of other peoples affairs innit!

I can also translate this into a jamaican patois too if you prefer...

I went out with a Ukranian girl about 3 years ago. I agree that the women are very good looking but she was as cold as ice and hard as nails.

Can we assume then that you were thinking with your dick as opposed to your head and your heart? And let me guess, she binned you off as soon as she'd got bored with you and some other mug with a flashier suit and a fatter wallet came along. I don't mean that in a derogatory sense as I'm sure that many of us have found ourselves in that situation at some point with a supposed "stunner" (I know I have).

What amuses and annoys me in equal measure is the way Cast Iron Dave has announced that we will be the (quote) "strongest pole in the tent". This from the man who has presided over the decimation of the armed forces since taking office (the politicians and their spin doictors call it "streamlining").

Never mind march on Moscow, we wouldn't even be able to retake the Falklands now if Argentina were to have another go at them. Predictably Putin's criticising Cameron in public, but privately he must be laughing up his sleeve.

[Dick Moby]

As you say she binned me and that was after I had taken her on trips to Amsterdam and Copenhagen. She recently got in touch with me again telling me how sorry she had let me go blah, blah, blah. She now lives in Finland but I've been seeing a beautiful Romanian woman for more than 2 years so it was a no go.
