That makes sense. It looked quite dramatic. The guys were standing in the open door of the helicopter looking down as they were landing. First looked like they were searching for sth but maybe just to help with navigation for landing

Definitely - it needs you to join an organisation which offers amazing opportunity, superb training, world class leadership and responsibility, travel across the world and an exceptionally good pay and benefits package, as well as getting to get transferable skills that benefit you in later life.


A full/spare time career in the RN is a great way to get ahead in life.

And the chance to help kill people.

If anyone is interested, the Quakers and the charity Forces Watch have campaigns challenging militarism in public life and particularly in schools. Find out more here:

Is that why we are bombing Syria, to be safe in London?

Having worked in aspects of targeting, I can assure you that we do not indiscriminately bomb at random. We leave acts of barbarity like that to the Russians.


Syria is a hugely complex situation, which can have repercussions here in the UK and elsewhere. So yes, it is to keep us safe.


The sad reality is we live in a challenging, difficult world and its not always possible to live it without having to do difficult things.

We're not going to agree on this, so I suggest it is probably a fairly pointless discussion to have.

    • Calling All Private Chefs – We’re Looking for You! We’re currently looking for talented private chefs in and around East Dulwich (and across London) for a number of exciting upcoming bookings and events. If you’re a chef, or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop your name, contact info, and a quick intro below or message directly. Thanks! Anthony Bird & Co Events
    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
