Again a list of figures that does not inform though. For example, in 2015 it shows 208 White background , 114 Black African or Carribean and 41 of "other" backgrounds. Now for a department that so loves percentages it does not tell us how many of the total relative numbers in the sample groups these final numbers are taken from. IE What percentage of Soldiers from White backgrounds compared to Soldiers from Black backgrounds.
Pongo - What has being a team player got to do with reacting to weather conditions?

Pongo @12:44.
Thanks for the Memory,
If I never see or hear of Mount Harriet again it'll be too damn soon!
Having said that I'm proud to have been there.
Oh AOG I would never tell you what ethnic group I belong to as you have already shown your racist attitude towards me when you presumed I was an immigrant!!

But don't worry your always top of my list!
“Pongo - What has being a team player got to do with reacting to weather conditions?”

Nothing. But a team player would not then blame the team’s manager when he slipped over on a wet pitch.

This chap wasn’t suitable for military service. There’s no shame in that; few of us are and we must be grateful to those who do undertake dirty and dangerous missions on our behalf that they are prepared to do so. It’s Mr Rawlings’ reaction after his deficiencies were discovered that annoy me. Instead of simply accepting he was not cut out to be a soldier he has to make a big deal out of it. It is quite clear when one enlists for military service that, even in training, you will find yourself in uncomfortable, hazardous and dangerous situations. You’re not applying for a clerical job in the Civil Service. It does not seem that Mr Rawlings has suffered lasting damage that has made him unemployable elsewhere. He has enrolled for university and whilst that is no indicator that he could be employable it certainly shows that he is not housebound.

Of course the court case will determine whether the Army was negligent in not ensuring he was kept warm and snug and to what degree, if any, Mr Rawlings deserves compensation. Inappropriate civil liability laws will be used to judge the matter. But to my mind he is a chancer looking for a lottery win.

Remove that chip from your shoulder, I have never shown a racist attitude towards you, just a general attitude that I show to all those who show the type of hostile attitude, that you show on a permanent basis.

/// But don't worry your always top of my list! ///

If that is referring to your hate list, then you do surprise me, since it is only recently that you informed me of the fact, that you didn't hate me.

Incidentally it is 'you are' or 'you're'
Childish, very childish.

Par for the course I'm afraid.

NJ @ 13:47,
Well said, my thoughts as well, I would have posted as such, but I didn't want to get caught by these two dogs fighting over a bone!

But let's hope that the University's heating doesn't go down, during the cold of the winter, else it looks like another court case.

//Childish, very childish. //

what - Mr Rawlings in bringing the compensation claim, the mail for the manner of their reporting, or the tone of subsequent posts...... or all 3?
Oh come off it AOG as soon as you learnt that I was born abroad and could not speak English you jumped to conclusions - it was plain to see as the nose on your face - several members have also commented on it!!

As for you being top of my hate list - I don't have a hate list!
divebuddy - there is not point in trying to have a sensible debate with a bigot when race is the topic of discussion!

Mushroom, ^^ None of the above, but the in-fighting in the thread imo

Do you know the answer?

Perhaps The Army Should Be More Careful Who They Allow In Their 'men's' Army?
