Hope yo all allow me as a para and Afgan veteran to extent my congratulation to :
Lance Corporal Josh Leakey awarded VC for valour. The actions of the PARA who singlehandedly prevented considerable loss of life during an assault into a Taliban stronghold in Afghanistan have been recognised with the highest military honour. Read the full story:http://bit.ly/1AN7Ijcpu
Man you made me proud of serving with such men in my military life.

Hear, hear! And one of a handful who earned the VC without dying in the process.

I do love your sense of humour. They wouldn't have me cos I'd hang em all, especially the speeders!

Did they fine him £90 which he asked to pay at £5 a week? Are you on police protection now?

They were still reading out the long list of previous and other offences to be taken into account long after I left. He actually decided to plead guilty but not before I had spent £600 on a full cctv system and another £300 beefing up the security for the bike.
