I did not know today was an official Barrel Scraping day.

This is poor even by your standards ER. You need a couple of weeks off to recharge the old batteries on your motability scooter.

ER's insults/WUMs have been as weak as his bladder recently <ok>
 
You gotta be more than a bit thick to join the Army.

Who would want to carry out some phoney war just for the benefit of some upper class c**ts that only care about themselves.

Killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. -Albert Einstein .

And you are no Einstein are you?
 
Never heard of this term! I'm ex-forces and loved it while I was there but don't bang on about it......Does this post mean that I am though? I'm confused I need someone to tell me what to do.

I can tell you what to do gonzo, just be a good boy and do what daddy tells you.

Did you see active duty? I was in WWII, 'nam, the falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan (or as us troops lked to call it "Afghanshithole" <laugh><laugh><laugh>).

I was in the SAS and the Navy seals but I'm not allowed to talk about it or I'll have to kill you.

Lost me there mate! Lucky enough not to be shot at and glad of it.
 
You'd best not say anything Nev, seeing as how it was your comment which led me to say you had "Army Envy" (which by the way, is not a saying, I just thought it apt in the circumstances).

Now toddle along.
 
Seriously WTF is this all about?

I had not even heard of this term until just now. This has to be one of the most laughable terms I have heard in my life.

Do squaddies seriously think that us sane rational people are envious of them? Envious of what exactly? The ability to not be able to think for one's self and only be able to obey orders?

Dev used the term and really I expected better from someone that seems logical and level headed. Perhaps he was looking for an argument which is not really like him either.

Any clues as to "army envy"?

Do you recall why I said it and to whom ER?
