I came back from Basrah in December and some of you nice people out there wrote to me not on computer but on paper!!! U don't know what it means to get letters of support when you are in a place like that even more so when its from people you don't know!!!! but I come back to find people I held in so much respect on this site fighting with each other!!!! For God sake get a grip!!! there is more to life than back biting???? there is more in life ?? work to together!! after all is that why you are all on this site in the first place!!! My wife went thought stress when I was away ... every news program every radio news that said a british soilder was dead!!! and we had a thing ccalled Op minimise that meant we could not contact home until the MOD had contacted the next of kin!!!! I had a GREAT respect for the people on this site because they cared and made me feel what I did was worth it !!! SO what are you doing to each other now!!!! You are ALL worth more than this!!! so why fight!!! This is Graeme !!!! Caz OH |

Hiya Graeme Hun, its quite a bit calmer on the board than it was, believe me. You should have seen what was going on while you were away! However you are so right, after what you and your comrades have been through, what right do we have with our petty squabbles? There IS more to life, and there is more to these boards, if only some would give it a chance. Thank you Graeme for what you have done, it won't be forgotten, and I for one am glad to see you back home with your family, where you belong. |

Understand what you are saying, but the majority of people on this site are not fighting each other. |

Hi Graeme, Glad that you are back safe and sound and that you found comfort in the letters that you received while you were away. As for the fighting on these boards, if that is what you choose, to call it. It is only a very tiny minority who can not get on together. Just like in real life, the majority of members are , helpful and supportive, as you will see if you read some of todays threads. Best wishes and good luck to you. Beryl x |

Hiya Graeme, Agree with everything you say. I know what you mean, my lad has been over there most of the year on specialist work and I couldn't contact him any way. I came on here which helped to take my mind off things cos I like a good laugh. I'm sure Caz will back me up on that. Anyway my friend take care and all the best to you, Caz and the kids. Jeff xx |

Hi Caz and Graeme, Just to lighten up your thread here is a little story which came to me a while ago. The choir in a Cumbrian village were practicing for a concert to be held in the village hall on the Saturday night. They were half way through the song John Peel when the conductor stopped them. He turned to a forty year old spinster, Miss Johnson and said, 'Miss Johnson, you haven't quite got it right yet, it was the sound of his horn that got me from my bed, not the size of it'.
