    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20165363 We were woken up this morning by the rumble and faint sound of the explosion. The site's on the way in to the city for a lot of guys who work at the Air Base, but thankfully it's the weekend here. :0

    Job Website I Got Mine Off

    Guys, I was recommended this website by an ex-TG9 guy when I went to look round an airport for one job. It's http://www.aviationjobsearch.com/ I found it very good and it was where I found my Saudi job so I thought Goaters might find it handy if they haven't come across it already. I do...

    Help for Heroes wristband ban for Devon Royal Marines

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/8497063.stm Well if the Times today is to believed the Marines will be disbanded and their capabilities 'merged' in to the Army so this won't matter but I do have to wonder at this RSM's mentality!

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/uknews/6615203/British-troops-in-Helmand-Province-Afghanistan.html I saw this and thought fellow goaters might want to take a look.

    Another Review of Another Trade Merge

    Yet another review to look at the chestnut of TG12 merging with TG9 is planned. How much money and manhours have been wasted on this topic over the years? I can remember the first I head of the topic back in late 1991 when I was out at 280SU. But at least it might give a job to the 'Special...

    Selling HMS Victory!

    I expect the Matelots on Rum Ration will have something to say about this, but I think this is appalling... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4744019.ece We all know HM Treasury's obsession with selling off the family silver but I think there's a good chance of some commercial...

    Rebrand for BBC's news programmes

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7349107.stm A waste of time? Personally I know when the news is on and I like News 24, so is this really necessary? Thankfully the music's staying the same! (Anyone seen Bill Bailey on tour when he samples the theme music???) But what gets on my t*t*...

    RAF Bombers Halted by Peat Bogs

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7347786.stm Now is this gash reporting or did I get this wrong in my own head? Spade's an EW range so they don't drop real bombs do they??? Is this instead a case of closing the range temporarily?

    Fire Crews Call for Siren Rethink

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7325862.stm It's slightly eccentric that we have volunteer firemen saving people's lives in 21st century Britain, but I do think it's unreasonable to expect them to get through traffic without the help of a blue light and a siren!

    Internet Goes Down

    Shooting from the Hip?

    Anger over school shooting range http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7215298.stm Why is it that we put more effort in to stopping young people being taught responsibility, self discipline and life skills than we do in stopping the importation of illegal firearms? One parent, spoken to...
