......gauwd, its the New Year.....

And just when I was getting used to writing cheques with 2006 on them.
Can't be a lot of fun being in the armed services at the break of the new year.....no matter how you look at the situation, there has been colossal abuse of the commitment and energy of our service men by this bankrupt Government. And if the voters think it will get better when Brown takes over, they are very sadly mistaken.
I guess we are reaching a line which says, do it properly or get out completely, sell off the yards close the defense industry and regard ourselves as an off-shore Switzerland. Sad........
