    It's okay out here...

    After 23 years in Blue, I've now been a civvy for 3 months, so thought I'd share my findings for those about to earn the ultimate promotion. 1. It's wonderful out here. It's different, but not vastly so. 2. 40-odd is not old! 3. The fact that you used to be a (insert rank here) means slightly...

    Any Goaters running the London Marathon?

    I am! Really. I'm making a stand for fat-blokes everywhere and proving that you don't need to weigh eight stone to do long-distance runs. At 6 foot 4 and over 20 stones, I don't think Haile Gebreselassie has too much to worry about, but if you are driving around London in early May and...

    WHOOPS! Russian and US satellites collide

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7885051.stm Maybe this will cause the next Cold War we've all been hoping for? Exercises in RAFG are so much better than deployments to Telic or Herrick!

    BBC staff are now offending...

    The BBC have been quick off the mark to sack someone this time, but does it seem that they working through a list of people to offend? They've done: Actors in their dotage. Ropey old slappers who happen to be the Grandaughters of actors in their dotage. Truck drivers. And now Asian taxi...

    Families condemn defence chiefs as 'self-serving'...

    Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, Chief of the Defence Staff, received a £15,000 pay rise this year, taking his salary from £210,000 to £225,000. As well as enjoying the use of an official service residence at a cost to the taxpayer of £37,000, he also has a pension fund worth more than £2.4m...

    Assisted suicide

    Story about poor lad injured in rugby accident. Any strong thoughts amongst other Goaters on this one? I admire the courage of this lad's parents and hope the justice system views them not as criminals, but as devastated parents who have done the only thing they could to stop the suffering...

    Fat man running

    Those who know me best have suggested that I should try bar games rather than running. With not much change from 21 stone, I always find running a challenge, but sometimes it's worth it. This time next week, I'll be plodding my way around Greenwich in the first London Half-Marathon. It's...

    British troops 'will leave Iraq within a year'

    From The Indy... Britain's war in Iraq will end by this time next year, a highly placed defence source said yesterday. But asked whether the pullout from Iraq would mean reinforcements being sent to combat a resurgent Taliban, the senior officer responded: "Emphatically no. We have already...
