Here are our local boys being piped into barracks on their return from Afghanistan. "As I write these last words, my thoughts return to you who were my comrades, the stubborn and indomitable peasants of Nepal. Once more I hear the laughter with which you greeted every hardship. Once more I see you in your bivouacs or about your fires, on forced march or in the trenches, now shivering with wet and cold, now scorched by a pitiless and burning sun. Uncomplaining you endure hunger and thirst and wounds; and at the last your unwavering lines disappear into the smoke and wrath of battle. Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you." Professor Sir Ralph Lilley Turner MC (1888-1983) AYO GORKHALI!

The car thermometer said 6C but today was really warm in the sunshine - the first day for months I have been outside minus a beanie hat and fleece jacket! Naturally, this being the UK, one cannot experience warm air without some rainfall...

No, my dear lady! I shall not hear of it! The talk of you in such terms wounds me! As an English gentleman, the mere suggestion offends me! How graceful is thy speech! How gentle thy countenance! How beautiful thy visage! I could not give thee the clap! Accept, therefore, my esteemed respect on the attainment of this prestigious award! Yours most affectionately...

Absolutely amazing, Olive! Thank you so much for sharing these images! As I have said before, you are such an accomplished photographer! I ask two favours: i) Please remind me of the name of the Frenchy guitarist; ii) May I please share this with a young friend (21) who is to visit Peru next year?

I think they're taking liberties calling this stuff "beer"... I have great respect for the German Reinheitsgebot. Pity England lacks regulation of what muck can be added to its otherwise splendid brews.

We get enough unsolicited advice stuffed down our throats via the media, thanks.

With stocks running a little low here due to recent imbibing, I tried a couple of exotic brews bought for me by my son at Christmas... The first rates as the worst beer I have tasted for many years - certainly this century! If you want to make some weirdo soft drink, fill it with ginger but f***in' beer?! Nothing could get that bad but I then opened another Badger beer... The aroma was of sweaty socks with a hint of blackcurrant. A sip... Truly unpleasant! Supposedly flavoured with damson and liquorice! If you are ever given either of these, do your palate and your stomach a favour and tip them down the drain immediately!

How the f*ck did they fit all the window frames stolen from the house behind into that car? :hrhr:

Happy Birthday to you!

Some people will go to any length to get a record played on the radio! Well done, Mot and here's a freebie for Rugger...

I thought it incredible that, for a person who has so much to say, you'd only just reached 1000. I reasoned that this didn't include all those posts censored because they made people cry. Then I saw this was your SEVENTH time past the post! Definitely worth the clap! Bravo!

Is the browser plug-in updated and working properly?

Wishing ChiefBSr a speedy and complete recovery! (My card is coming from the left in the picture before you get upset! )

You've played "Where's Waldo" ("Where's Wally") but where's Markoff? @

But but but-but-but, oomph! Still my favourite...

Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.' The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.' The third surgeon says, 'No, I really think Librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.' The fourth surgeon chimes in, 'You know I like Construction Workers... Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.' But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts - the mouth and the arsehole - and they are interchangeable'

Unfortunately, there is ample scope for misunderstanding here in a country that has been attacked by terrorists for over 40 years.

The report in London free newspaper "Metro" says he was drunk but I don't believe that. We see this sort of stuff in BF3 all the time! Full report: http://metro.co.uk/2013/04/03/drunk-soldier-drives-tank-into-lamp-post-in-russia-3581667

Great picture! Have fun, you two! (Pssst! 'bart, keep him away from sharp objects! )

Welcome! See you in the servers when you have finished your goat milk!
