I often read but very rarely do I comment on these boards unless I feel I can add some comments of value. However I cannot let some of your latest accusations against Gwim go without responding. (I am Gwim's better half btw)

You have made some very strong comments recently about Gwim and soldiers so let me put the record straight. Some 15 months ago my nephew was killed in action in Afghanistan.
Now as well as grieving the loss of a family member of which he has known since a boy, Gwim also has shown his respect time and time over by attending other fallen soldiers repatriations and funeral ceremonies. Now I don't tell you this to defend Gwim (as we all know he is very big and capable!) but he would never divulge such details out of respect for me, my nephew and the soldiers ceremonies he has attended. For you to suggest that he would insult any of our troops is highly offensive to me and other bereaved families.

If you must carry on with your childish games - which are at times admittedly amusing to read can I suggest that you stick with attempting to insult Gwim and not use sensitive topics that can cause distress and offence to others. There are boundaries which should never be crossed and our troops be either serving, KIA or retired are one of those boundaries. To use them as you have done to try and score petty points is despicable and tells people far more about what type of person you are than him.
