Yes, school must have been tricky for the poor chap. Can't be easy if your mum actually is a slag.

I'm pretty sure that at some point the Legionnaire stopped being Muslim for a while and became a Buddhist. Also he had a peculiarly on/off relationship with booze.

Was the Legionnaire the one whose tackle had been shot off in an earlier campaign?

Every man with a little spirit and adventure has, at some time in their life, befriended a Tiny. You quickly realize that he is so out of your league when it comes to brawing and boozing that you will soon end up disappointing him so best to extricate yourself from the friendship before you get seriously injured.

Do these people ever stop to consider just how drearily conservative these maunderings are? In essence, they are no different to previous generations bemoaning unwelcome societal change in everything from votes for women to the end of the death penalty and the legalisation of homosexuality. Things change - deal with it.

Daft old bugger. George would have told him to man up and get on with it.

You never read the Sven Hassels, did you?

I don't believe there is any way to come to them as an adult, sadly. They need to be imbibed in childhood, and then they may be sipped at from time to time in adulthood.

Sadly not. I had no interest in reading about the baddies.
