Straight talking politicians

I worked with them for a couple of months a few years back. 30 Sigs are
now at Gamecock Barracks Bramcote nr Nuneaton, used to be a Junior
Leaders camp.

 

'Tis the lying thing that deserved it.
Ok, a low growl and blood-curdling threats might have worked instead.

That too.

 

"Things Ogden and his Mrs. have argued about..."

Too fucking right. Posh indeed.

'Deserved' a lot more than a shouting, but extreme provocation does
not justify an extreme reaction.

And just in case it's not clear, it wasn't the losing of the temper
that was the issue, AFAIC, but allowing it to be visible to others,
particularly when it's senior management.

Hm. How long has it been there? They took me round the museum - mid 80's,
iirc.

Heh. It works, you know.

Alison Hopkins says...

Dad told me it was there about 2 years ago. They contacted him via the
Royal Sigs Association to ask if he had any photos they could use, and
that was one of them. He has literally hundreds in albums as he was the
official photographer for years.

 

My FiL has a huge amount of photos from when he was in Malaya with the RAF.
We were going through them the other night - mostly aeroplanes...

bald and unconvincing narrative."

 

My favorite example of the genre:

In this regard, Norstad came up against French president Charles de
Gaulle, who insisted that any intermediate range ballistic missiles
and other nuclear weapons deployed in France be placed under French
control. Norstad's various meetings with de Gaulle on this issue
make for fascinating reading. At one such meeting in 1959 Norstad
rebuffed de Gaulle's request for detailed information about the
targets assigned to U.S. nuclear weapons deployed in France. After
asking their respective staffs to leave the room, Norstad told de
Gaulle that he could not provide such information. De Gaulle replied
that this was "the last time, and make yourself understand it, that
a responsible French leader will allow such an answer to be made"

In the case of that particular mrs, those things included...

Me: "You're dumped"
Her: "No I'm not"

....for about 6 months. Fun it was not.

 

I had one of those once. Great ****, but no brains.

But thankfully she got the message after a couple of weeks. 6 months I
find hard to imagine.

I imagine you'd be knocking on the door of the loony bin after 6 months
of that.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Paul Corfield

She was a perfectly nice woman[1]. She sent me an email after her and
Ogden split up, demanding that I remove a posting from UKRM.

Well on that description she's make an ideal candidate to partner with
another person who believes usenet is a website or a collection of
emails.

 

I thought they might be related after reading WUN's post.

 

Well mostly people would think that Ogden was getting just desserts (no
angel delight involved)

 

I suspect that it is only you thinking that given that you two famously
seem to be at odds all of the time about everything.

 

We agreed today about public transport and commuting

 

I only noticed that after posting the above and it is the sole example
of agreement. I did wonder which one of you was ill.
