ohh good link borisette

>>By Nemesis2842004 (Tuesday, 18 May 2004 22:00)
Yes, Reg made it back from the party safe and sound! :-) Though he might be resting up or recuperating! ;-)

The URL address for the new chat room has not remained on my Explorer drop down menu as it usually does; anyone else had that problem, don't understand it.
Has anyone else read "Shoot to Kill" by Scott Graham? It is the story of an affair between the former para and SAS man, and Mairead Farrell, a convicted IRA bomber. Haven't quite finished it yet but it is a highly unusual and fascinating tale. A Special Forces love story, there's a novelty.
My next will be "She Who Dared" by Susan Ottway, anybody else know it?
For those who can get it, Panorama on BBC1 tonight is a special about the prisoner abuse story.

I know this isn't strictly books (sorry in advance) but now you can all sing about the SAS too..... Anyone know the tune? Cheerful little song.

Uhm, Bethan...
Is it just me or do the The Varukers seem to have attitude and anti-tune problems? :oP

Ohman, Camban....
You're killing me here! Yet another BBC program we won't get to see! Anyone willing to set up their webcam and microphones and give us poor Yanks a simul-cam broadcast? Pleeez!
Just like AM's ex-'s book is published under two titles, I have Scott Graham's "Shoot to Kill" under its "Violent Delights" title. I must confess tho that I started it about a year ago (I think) but found myself skimming too much (meaning -- not interested enough) so I set it aside -- maybe I should revisit it, based on your comments. What's your take on the authenticity of the actual relationship?
And with "She Who Dared" you've now named two of the three "women" books I was trying to think of (stupid memory lags!). Don't feel like taking pity on me and remembering the third on for me, do you? That way I'll be able to add the complete set to my "ohmigod-not-another-book" list... :o)
>>By am-i-binned (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 15:13)
a-i-b, sorry about death by BBC! The channel is available on cable over there but don't know what's on it, have a look at www.bbc.co.uk (not .com, it's a college in Boston). Sorry, no web cam! (Are you covered in Cicadas by the way?)
Surprised you gave up on Scott Graham, I am finding it compelling, but then I always seem to, though I don't like love stories in general, yuk! As for authenticity, it's hard to say, having not quite finished, but I will tonight. There must be some way of gaining more information though? All you experienced surfers and readers, this is your task.
I haven't yet found the third "women" book, but I will at the rate I am getting through these things. It's actually written under the pseudonym "Jackie something" not what I said before by the way, The Susan is the "editor/ghost writer"
Can anybody help with the chat room address problem please? It's a pain having to type the thing, though when I visited earlier all I could hear was snoring!

Solved my techno prob now, dohhh!
>>By camban (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:50)
well this is not literature, ... just curiosity, as the US-military go all Hoo-HAAR, ... what do the UK- military say :
Two sounds from Bagram: the distinctive, familiar and fantastically evocative 'thwop thwop thwop' of the Chinooks. And the American soldiers and their blithe, confident good-natured yell: 'Hoo Har!' Of course there are many variations. You can't just holler, 'Hoo Har' at will or at random. For example, the US Rangers, the specialist light infantry, shout: 'Hoo Har, Rangers lead the way, sir' when they meet someone of a higher rank. They make the two syllables very distinct. The US Marines, by contrast, mangle it all into 'Hooonnngaaa' with a strangled half-glottal stop halfway through. The Special Forces, being that cool, don't say it at all.
Technically, 'Hoo Har' derives from 'Heard, Acknowledged, Understood'. Thus HUA. Less technically, it means, 'Yes, sir,' 'OK, sir,' 'Absolutely, sir,' 'Fucking A, sir,' 'Yes, sir I will go and clean the latrines or dig a ditch or fill sandbags or jump out of a helicopter in the middle of the night and stagger around big, dusty hills for days on end carrying a giant pack and trying not to get killed searching for an elusive and fanatical enemy. Sir.'

LOL!!!!! Absolutely, Bo!

Now, I'm no Army Ranger, but I was just talking to a few of them the other day at an airshow... and the way thay barked was "Hoo-ah", not Hoo-Har.
(of course, I wasn't exactly paying attention to the words coming out of their mouths, either...)
>>By Majorette (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 19:09)
LOL HHHHUUUUUU AAAAAA!!!
Sounds about right! :-D
That's army/marine lingo, so being a sailor I didn't say that! Is THAT what it stood for? Way cool! ;-)
>>By Dare (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 19:37)
sh*t!!... just read my last post... meant "they barked" not "thay"....
I must be using the same keyboard as Nemo...
>>By Majorette (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 20:10)
Nah, Maj, it's just your lovely Southern drawl... ;o)
>>By am-i-binned (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 20:14)
Been in surveillance mode for a while... thought I'd check the DOP...
Excellent info, Bo! I've always wondered about that! Makes them sound a bit, mmm, smarter now! ;-)
Dare -- what DID you chant as a sailor?!
Camban, et al. -- thanks for yet more titles to add to the Books To Make Me Stay Up Later Than I Already Do list!
Haven't quite finished Lib Day yet -- but now I want a new hat! LOL!
>>By Jiffer (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 20:14)
We've got a punishment hat all dusty..... anyone wants to make a go for it? :o) j/k
Question:
In a book called Military Failures: the How and Why of Military Failure (by Saul David) Bravo Two Zero is one of the topics. Has anyone read that book, know what was written about B20 ?
>>By Lynn (Thursday, 20 May 2004 01:04)
Jiffer -- Hell girl! Sailors don't CHANT. It's just not cool! :-)
Actually, I don't remember chanting anything... except when we marched in Boot Camp. I remember the "F" word coming up a bit more than is usually regular... unless you're in New York City or it's environs. But, nope, no chanting. ;-)
>>By Dare (Thursday, 20 May 2004 04:02)
Your challenge lynn. It were too good to pass up. Bring on that punishment hat! You'll find me in the deep black section near garden shed.
Women are supposedly natural multi-taskers and I will gladly take my hat off to women who keep house and workplace in ship shape Bristol fashion. Meantime b*gger all credit is given to us men as we multi task 24/7 at a thousand leagues a minute for the benefit of womankind, and do we complain about it?
LOL women [today's women] supposedly reckon they take and sustain the initiative in all things men took for granted as expected since Eve took her first bite of forbidden fruit. Like me, mates of mine have met more naive Eve's than go-for-it bombshells in life. Of the hundreds of pr*ck tease up-for-anything mouthers met in pubs and clubs and given the chance to prove their predatory ****** prowess as equal to mine the majority bottled until pissed out of their minds [no joy in taking woman in that state]. I know a man's looks has a lot to do with pulling the creme de la creme from the floor show and I have pull looks according past girlfriends and wives, and on past showing of this message board the men have more going for them than the women as I see it.
Gnooks women and men are beginning to look like uniform contraflow traffic clones to me. Like they're from some weird fantasy perspective. No typo error incurred [clones for cones]. We see traffic cones stretching into the distance providing protected area for what amounts to invisible workforce every day of the week in the UK. Similarly I see gnooks clones stretching from page 1 to infinity protecting an area as vacuous as the life of the person who pedals the clone cycle. Must go ask buddy what drives a schizoid personality because most of the hats around here must be on heavy dosage of Imodium. You're all Mcnabby bunged.

Hey readit! How the hell are you? Gosh it's been forever! I know you may not believe this but I mean that with the utmost affection and sincerity! You have some of the most unique and intriguing outlooks on things.
I wouldn't know about the club or pub scene. And the few times I've ever been, it's easy to see it don't make much sense to totally slosh oneself. Not sure about the looks department around here, but we pretty much all "look" alike on the board. It's the essence of the thing that makes it worth savoring. Eye candy is lovely on the eyes, but if it's all just paint or sugar coating, then the fascination fades quickly. BUT sometimes that FLASH can be a hell of a lot of FUN!!! ;-)
Anyway, hope you've been having a good time wherever you've been and look forward to some interesting Pi** and Vinegar coming our way!
PS... That Mcnabby bunged thing... please don't give us anymore dirty thoughts! We have SOOOO many of our own already, we may go into overload! ;-D
>>By Dare (Thursday, 20 May 2004 16:24)
PPS... I NEVER tease! I deliver. :-p
>>By Dare (Thursday, 20 May 2004 17:19)
Ah Readit, kiss on cheek. So happy to see you back. Love it when you talk dirty. You don't really get the punishment hat for this, unless you like to be punished?
You might have read about our new chatroom, now there's a real challenge
>>By Lynn (Thursday, 20 May 2004 17:37)
Ah, forget that. Life is too short for real-time conversation.
>>By Lynn (Thursday, 20 May 2004 17:53)
<< You're all Mcnabby bunged >>
Oh, you're right, Readit! I absolutely am, thank you for noticing!
>>By am-i-binned (Thursday, 20 May 2004 18:27)
LMAO !!! Mcnabby bunged ! Yes and proud of it too. :)
Maybe Readit should look in better/different places to meet a woman that can talk whilst being sober ? ( Did I just say that ? She, who found her hub in a club after a few beers?) Seek and you might find. Then again, I always found the seeking a lot of fun!!!
Dirty thoughts ? Hmm i better take the fifth on that. :x
>>By Ninjawoman (Thursday, 20 May 2004 18:53)
real-time conversation, Lynn. You should see my cellphone bill. Ha ha, no texting on principal. That kind of communication is for kiddy winks unable to piece a sentence together. Chatroom? If I can fit you in. Serious. Life is too B short these days to waste on virtua chat. Go live voicemail and you're on!.
Ninjawoman. Readit should look in better/different places to meet a woman that can talk whilst being sober ?
Thinking man's crumpet is top score in my special little notebook and accounts for astronomical cellphone bill. Seeking is best bit of the action and intelligent breakfast a bonus. It's rare to acquire double bill surety of thank you breakfast in pubs and clubs.
So you all admit you are from the same stuffed [bunged] mould as seen shuffling along the production line bogey to the cling-wrap machine, and thence to the nabby box ?
Hey, that's some production line am-i-binned.
And Dare with , PPS... I NEVER tease! I deliver
Yeh, until I was in DC, and didn't the DCers go quiet? You had your chance and bottled! I was Stateside and it were no hassle for me to hop skip a few states for a platonic date.
>>By readit (Thursday, 20 May 2004 20:48)
<< Hey, that's some production line am-i-binned >>
Why, thank you again, Readit! Just part of the mission, ya know... ;o)
>>By am-i-binned (Thursday, 20 May 2004 21:28)
Readit... you went to the wrong town! I'm from Texas, darlin! Let me know when you're in the DFW area next and I'll buy you a drink. On that I will deliver. And if I get to teasing you THAT way, believe me baby, you will know it!
As for the production line, we're all in good company, aren't we ladies? ;-)
