Dear Sarge, there is know way you said anything wrong at all! We do have a slight language barrier on some things and our humour is a lot different from your humour that is all. It has nothing to do with anything you or I have said. For I can watch the American comedy shows that they put on over here like friends or sex in the city and do not find them the least bit funny as I cannot understand them Whereas you could and are always are most welcome at any time come to my house, and watch our shows and not understand them either. Our humour is dry and witty not rich.
Sarge I think you are a lovely man with a great family and to me could do no wrong as you are a Soldier like us. In our Army we take the mickey out of each others Regiments, for instance if someone was to say I was in the Army Catering Corps, being in a Sabre Squadron myself he would get something like "oh your motto is we burn everything" meaning what they cook they have a tendency to burn and we would continue the banter with them. We take the mickey out of the Marines by saying "you don't know if you are a Soldier or a Sailor," and things like that, till it ends in a fight and the M.P.s are called. That is the way it works and not only in the Army for we take the mickey out of the Air Force and especially the Navy as well. But Sarge when it comes down to the crunch all that is forgotten and every unit binds together, to make a unique fighting force. There is only a couple of Regiments tha nobody takes the mickey out of and that is the SAS and the Gurkhas.
One being a highly trained special forces Regiment and the other a totally mad Regiment of small Nepalese men who are absolutely fearless in battle and out of it.
Sarge I just hope we can remain friends and that you have not taken my humour as that is what it is the wrong way.
Kindest Regards to all of you lovely people.
Neil.
p.s. We have nothing to do with the Euro at all, it was totally rejected by the British people and that was a good move. We have the pound. Now Ireland and other countries are trying to get out of the Euro as it has made their Countries very expensive and bankrupt. So we are giving them 10 Billion pounds to help them out. For instance Ireland is not far from us and in England a pint in a pub is $3.00, however in Ireland a pint of beer is $17.7527. Sorry Sarge as much as I like a pint that is a lot of money for a pint, and to support other Euro Nations out. Especially as beer is cheaper in other Euro Nations. A glass of your Cola in Paris is $22.2641 and that is but a small glass. The whole of the European Union is corrupt, politician wise. sad isn't it!
