    Should be a good insight though sad as breaking news is that another soldier has just been killed over there.:(

    Nice to be listening to the soldier's take on things.

    Actually credit where it's due. I think he's doing a good job of this so far.

    He gets a lot of stick at the moment. But he's gone to Camp Bastion. And you wouldn't get me anywhere near there. So good on him I say.

    When I saw them all sat on that plane, it really brought it home. Some poor family are going to have a rotten Christmas. My thoughts are with them.

    Mine too, I'm watching this and seeing the personal/human side of the soldiers, I worry that after all this time now fatalities are just a statistic but of course it's not for any family.

    On a nicer note looks like they are having fun here

    Youre right, when it comes on the news we think oh dear another soldier has been killed and then we move on. Theres also many that get badly injured that we don't hear about. Be glad when we have got out of there.

    Yes, whatever people think of Gary Barlow, they are certainly enjoying it.

    I wasn't going to watch that but Im glad I did. Heres me sitting here in my lounge worried about my roof blowing off in the wind and theres those heroes out there risking life and limb.

    I feel quite emotional and well done Gary Barlow.

    *wallops*

    It amazes me that assumptions and idle comments gain legs and it becomes a fact :D

    Manchester if you don't mind Rhumble, he's from Oop Norf you know ;-)

    And me.

    And the constant jibes about knighthoods are getting old now.
