Servicemen receive a pretty damn good pension these days don't they? My father was in the forces all his life and retired on a pretty comfortable pension, but says he missed out on the recent big increases. My brother also retired from the army at 40 and received a huge pension (he died in Iraq), but he wasn't what you'd call a regular serviceman. -

I played with my sisters' barbies and sindies too. I got into trouble when my Action Man set fire to one of them.
I was too poor to have a johnny seven or super-soaker. I had a spud gun, and one of those guns that fired gold balls. Anyone remember them?Comment

....(nowadays they call em BB guns - but we had a different name)
...it'll come to me.
my rose bow had a range of about 100m, more than double the rest of the gang with their bamboo cane efforts.

Lego Crossbow for the win !
The black, technical lego axles were great when sharpened with a pocket knife, and served as adequate bolts.
I could punch a hole through a copy of a Famous Five paperback novel at 5 feet, and shot the eye off my teddy bear.
Hmm...just realised that shot the eye off my teddy bear sounds like a euphemism, in the same vein as licking the chutney spoon. Oh well...Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
