evening hearts, no all is ok its not our boy thank god, but unfortunately 2 sets of parents have lost their sons and i am feeling down at the moment for those familys especially its a pity those brave young lads have had to pay with their lives i am gutted all for nothing as well.
i must admit we dont even know the names of the lads yet and are desperate to find out, it could be 1 or even 2 of his close mates, the waiting to find out is sheer agony i can tell you |

hearts he also said that they come under gunfire most days but from quite a way off, and obviously they return fire. he said the insurgents cant meet them head on in a gunfight the only way to get back at them is these explosive devices the sneaky barstewards

The two that were killed were both from 3rd Battalion Rifles.
Lee Brownson, 30, originalty from Auckland, Co. Durham and Luke Farmer, 19, from Pontefract. Distressing to think that I've lived longer than these two poor bastids put together. |

by the way any tips for cheltenham mate, as much as i love it , its the biggest betting graveyard of my year , every year i do useless there

No good asking me, I'm facking useless. :^0
Kauto Star is a short enough price, but im my humble opinion, it has to fall to be beaten, and it won't fall. I'm there working, not punting. :) As for the Grand National a few weeks later, I've backed Comply or Die, it's about 34 now, and can't possibly be that price if it turns up. If it runs between now and Aintree I guarantee it won't win, he's got to protect his handicap mark. |

the facking useless bit goes for both of us then ,cheers mate

Unlike Royal facking Ascot - madhouse. |
