Hmmm.

There was some serious talk during the 1980′s of forming a couple Gurkha regiments in the US Army. Never got anywhere but frankly knowing the fighting history of the Gurkhas I certainly wouldn’t mind if a couple dozen Marine recruiters headed over there.

As the great grandson of a British Naval Officer who was stationed in India during WW2, I must say, I am ashamed of my country(well, one of ‘em at least). I can’t believe they’d do such a thing. Just the more reason why I dislike this Labour government.

A Weasel with a Kukri, now that would be quite a sight.

My motto: never mess with a be-Kukri’d mustelid.

No. Strike that. Cheetos are the only food I have ever literally eaten myself sick on. I was about five. I couldn’t touch them for years, and they still make me feel a little urpee.

Ah, not to worry then. Can’t say I care (about whether Cheetos and Wotsits are the same) that much any more. I was up all night playing on a bouncy castle with some Mexican pigs. I feel a bit fluey.

IIRC, Gurkhas are the only non-British troops to have mounted guard at the royal palaces. And now the “government” says they’re not fit to live in your country?

This is VILE!

As a student of military history — and a descendant of British military who served in India in the 19th Century — I cannot find words for how foul and outrageous this is, particularly (as noted) in light of Britain’s rather lax immigration policies for other groups. This is appalling. ..bruce..

I don’t know, Gibby! Uncle B will have to buy me some Wotsits and I’ll tell you.

Hey Weas, now that you’re all settled in, perhaps you can answer me and important question: are Cheetos/cheese puffs basically the same as Wotsits?
