6 British soldiers missing, presumed dead, in Afghanistan, poor buggers. Nothing more to be said really.
Terrible news Syd. It's of little comfort I know but the forces are very good at looking after the families of fallen service men and women. My thoughts are with them all.
I stuck it on here because I found it both sad and shocking but did not want to post on the main board. I just know that someone will see a funny side to it, well, what they think is funny, and I cant be arsed with it. The rights and wrongs of our government, war, fighting are all irrelevance to me, 6 men are dead, that's all that's relevant along with 6 families mourning.
It's not shocking mate. It's war. The shocking thing is this **** doesn't happen more often TBH. That said the lads get the best training possible to deal with these cowardly tactics. The last time I was over there one other country (ahem) stopped putting flags on the coffins they were losing so many. They also started flying them back in the dead of night with no fan fare so as not to cause any anti war feeling back home. Anyone who could possibly find humour in six young men giving their lives for Queen and country should be banned.
A sad but brave story.... A heroic mother has lost parts of both her legs after throwing herself on top of her children to save them from a deadly tornado as it ripped apart their home. Stephanie Decker's legs were crushed by falling debris as she shielded her eight-year-old son Dominic and five-year-old daughter Reese from the raging storm by binding them together in a blanket in the basement of their three-storey house in Marysville, Indiana. The children survived the storm unscathed, and after the tornado passed, Dominic ran to neighbours for help. Mrs Decker, a 36-year-old sleep specialist, lost one leg from above the knee and the other from above the ankle. Her husband Joe, a school teacher, sent his wife a text message from work, warning her a tornado was heading towards their home.
Its strange, well maybe not strange, the courage we get when the safety or our children are concerned, we just act.

Some very nice memories there. My mate used to work in that Wimpy, every Saturday night he'd give me two bags full of burgers. As you can imagine I was very popular on the last X12 home. Happy days.
Yes and yes if you have a Ouija Board Great women mind would have your guts for garters literally and did stuff which curled my hair and I'm a baldy.
It's back Syd... It's good to have a place to go for random stuff....and your idea and intention was spot on... .................................................................. Next question.. How many of you actually go to the air-show each year?
Wimpey, can anyone remember the 'double en-tendre', ***** friendly menus' 'with my sticky fingers i'm a fishy fiend...' The Mr Wimpey in Sunderland had a large bit mark in his top hat, child, or parent, I wonder...
