My first week back at Battalion went well. It feels good to be back among my own people again. Darkchild

Kenya Isn't too bad. We got attacked by Al Shabab last time I was there, threw a grenade at us from a motorbike, but that's because we were a group of 30 white contractors crowded round a coffee shop using wifi. Easy target. I've never heard of a huge crackdown on gays in Kenya. Darkchild

My step dad had it. Terrible thing I wouldn't wish on anybody. Darkchild

I hear that. My knees are so *fruitcage*ed my friends with no legs pity me. Darkchild

Because his back and knee pain make him a cantankerous goat!

Back to 4 Rifles, as the weird old dude in a rifle platoon, whilst my old peer group are all Sjt/CSjts now. Darkchild

Sooo, after 5 years of being a civvy, I'm back in the Army. Didn't see that coming. Darkchild

I voted out. My FB is full of doomsaying or a tirade self satisfied smugness, depending on the political leanings of the poster. This thing has brought the worst out of people. Darkchild

Possibly torn some cartilage in my knee. Just as I put in my transfer paperwork to get back into the regular Army too. Darkchild

Voting tomorrow, also seeing the doctor about my knee (after waiting 2 weeks for an appointment, yay NHS!). Hopefully get some good news and not require surgery to fix it. Darkchild

I'm a 32 waist 34 leg. They're never in stock either. Darkchild

Got a new phone (first one in 5 years), an Xperia Z5 compact. Got a car (been driving the wife's 207 for 5 years), an old Ford Mondeo ST24. It's nice to have my own transport again. Darkchild

Beer and Wings night. Every man brings his own chilli sauce. Game on. Darkchild

Loading 120mm Fin round (yeah that's right, I do tanks now) That'll penetrate your safe space! Darkchild

Everyone is so sensitive these days and it irritates me. Language policing ties everybody up in knots thinking about offending someone rather than actually discussing things. *fruitcage* your feelings, quite frankly. Darkchild
