#323. Just lost the one sent, seconds ago….probably the military source was a lance corporal in the RASC. The Special Forces do not advertise their presence and by the same token don’t expect others to do so on their behalf. Any media source I wouldnt put much faith in. JS

Several military forces could mean HAMAS or Hezbollah, what about the Bacon Butty, an army marches of it's stomach

To #319. I thought the full saying the arabs had was - A woman for children, a man for pleasure and a little boy for ecstasy.
On one of the ships I was on had Pakistani crew and we had a load of Pakistani trainees. The ship was taken off the regular Japanese/Persian Gulf run and was going back to Uk, so the trainees were taken off. Thinking he was doing the crew a favour, the mate told them because of the extra spare accommodation, they could spread themselves around. The answer was "Oh no sahib, we are liking where we are with our boyfriends."

In any case, there's been a heavy SF presence in the area ever since the last Iraq war, if not longer. And that's already more than anyone needs to know.

Re: Israel what is next???
#326 Geoff different ships different yardarms , but the same emphasis. Certain sects still work on the assumption that when young girls start to menstruate they are ready for marriage or joining a harem. The civilised world so called children are children until 18 years of age. What a mixed up world we live in. To have to go back to the dark ages has every possibilty of occuring, thankfully most of us won’t be involved . JS.

The UK I believe leads Europe in the unwanted pregnancy rates and you can bet your last buck they are not all from an ethnic back ground.

Dear brother in Christ. Thank you for your reply. I couldn't believe it when He came into my life in 2020. It was such a shock. What a wonderful gift He gave me. I didn't realise you had to give your life to Jesus in order to reach heaven. Since then I've been the opportunity by God to talk about the gospel (good news) to older people I care for. Some didn't know this either and some believed in Him but hadn't given their life after a lifetime of belief (some are in their 80's and 90's) I feel so privileged to be given the blessing of bring them to Christ and knowing they will also go to heaven after this time spent here being lied to and deceived. God bless you Roger and thank you for your service.

Re: Israel what is next???
Andrea, if you would like to discuss the mother and baby homes and the dark deeds that took place in Ireland? Let' discuss how those fine upstanding members of a large Christian church let over 800 babies die in their care and how they disposed of them in a disused septic tank.
Places like Australia , Canada , South Africa have several thousand displaced children transported from their country of birth often splitting siblings up and not infroming were there Brothers or Sisters are . More often than not they never disclosed the fact that they had siblings.
Christian church!!!!! really. Yes I am a lapsed Catholic, I gave that lot a miss after the physical abuse I received at the hands of the so called Christian brothers during my formitive years at a school run by that bunch of sadistic bast-ards in Wirral Merseyside.
In 2014, horror ensued when it was claimed that a mass grave of around 800 babies had been found, with it being alleged that bodies had been discovered in an old septic tank in County Galway, Ireland after dying in the care of nuns.
