Not a bad outfit apart from the gold bits.

unfortunately not Pete, the very organisation you think would protect you often fails the majority who ask for help, I've known many friends who went off the rails or seen as a problem and often kicked out of the Army, I think now they have realised that the mischievous uncontrollable behaviour taking drugs /drink is a sign for help, some also find it hard to transition from firing live ammunition to playing toy soldiers ( firing blanks) or seeing similar stuff to what your Nephew had went through, I only wish now through all the media attention on PTSD and the struggles your Nephew went through your family also that they can somehow forgive him for some of the things he put them through. It's a dark place when your going through things you have seen or witnessed. I've got PTSD and I find this Gersnet group a good way of blocking out my sometimes sombre mood. Yet there is also a part of me that has no emotional response and it is hard for me to realise when someone is hurting or I can't act the way I used to act with compassion, it’s 9/10 only when I have done something or said something then I realize my actions, i’m sure your nephew was the same Pete and he was very sorry for his out of character behaviour that you knew, sadly the War doesn't stop when we take off our uniform and our invisible wounds are never seen. All we have to do is talk and open up in which more are doing today, Have a listen to the podcasts from my m8 and if your in touch with your family ask them also to listen to it.

My nephew was a great kid when he was young. Only interested in fishing. Then he joined the Dutch Commando's and got sent out to Cambodia to oversee an election. They were not allowed to use their weapons. He said rebel gangs just drove up to the queue, shot people dead or cut their throats, and they could do nothing about it. He came back with severe mental problems and was on the drugs for the rest of his life and plundered his dads bank account. Just recently I heard he was killed in a motorbike accident. The Police asked his sister if she wanted his body for a funeral, she answered I don't want anything to do with him, put him in a poppers grave. He was also one who got no help and left to fend for himself. Hopefully mental support has improved these days.

Yes, same here m8! 😂

I'd happily keep Cyriel, if not for him I would be last in the GPL table 🤣

MON THE IRONS

Hibernian 2-1 Rangers FGS Dessers

It's good to know that our strip for next season is based on West Ham's away strip for this season.

Hope you’re right about City winning. I have a feeling that Palace (spelled Eze) have their name on the cup.

I'll be disappointed if Davide Ancelotti is not engaged as Manager/Head Coach. I was looking forward to the tifo, welcoming him to Govan ....... ....or, maybe, and maybe more appropriately, welcoming pederast fhilth fc to the Ibrox Renaissance....
