Bit of both I think !


'A Gurkha from the 4/8 Gurkhas had demonstrated to me in India how best to use the kukri. Firstly, you get in close to your enemy and stab him in the lower body. When the kukri goes in, the enemy always doubles up. You then swiftly withdraw your kukri and take his head off. With a sharp blade that's easy. I saw many an enemy with their heads off so it must work!'

and they are F**king sharp!

[edit] Eligibility

Initially Gurkhas, along with all other native troops of the British East India Company Army or the Indian Army, were not eligible for the Victoria Cross and as such up until 1911 all Gurkha recipients of the award were British officers who were attached to Gurkha regiments.[2] Since then, however, sixteen VCs have been awarded to men serving with Gurkha regiments, thirteen of which have been native Gurkhas.[1] Since 1950, when India became a republic, Gurkhas serving in the Indian Army lost their eligibility for the Victoria Cross and they are now covered under the Indian honours system. Under this system the Param Vir Chakra (PVC), which is India's highest military decoration, is considered to be equivalent to the Victoria Cross.[citation needed] As such only those serving in the Gurkha units of the British Army remain eligible for the Victoria Cross.

Never.

to say that they are mercenaries can only be laughable

I know, but you know what I'm trying to say.

mercenary in the strict sense of the word

As for this shit:

What the fuck has that got to do with anything? Mind your own business.

You should read a thread before you start banging on, too.

most soldiers receive pay as far as I know

As I said, some are protecting their country, too. Not just for the cash.

Interesting that you should think the Gurkha's to be crooks

I didn't say they were crooks? I said they'll build a ghetto.

No reason to confuse a man before he inserts a kukri in your belly

If some Gook came round here banding a big knife about looking for trouble he'd get shot in the face.

I thought you suggested you were planning to get up in some Ghurka's face. In the scenario you propose, by all means, shoot him.

No need. I'll freely admit it. I was just wondering what it had to do with anything we're talking aboout.

Absolutely not. RR admitted it on this forum so it's out there.

No, I can't remember where, and I can't be assed searching for it.

It's turned into a thread about Redrum



I'm getting a new nic.

Nah, you're allright.

I agree with Redrum!

Well that's all right then. What do you reckon his view is?

I'm sure you're well aware of his opinions.

It was supposed to be obvious!

Well done, it certainly is.

Now we just wait for the mods to pick up the double nicker.

I think I was looking for similarity's "Mindless mercenaries" " Fucking mercenaries"

Drugs kill, and drug dealers/distributors are mindless mercenaries as well.

So Redrums apparent dislike of the Gurkhas intrigued me, I dont know who the English people rather would want stay, a drug criminal or a Gurkha?

It's not that I care what Redrum have done in the past really, just that I always find it funny when thieves go crazy when their house is burgled.



To Robuzo, I never post any private info on anybody, would not dream of it, but in this case Redrum have put it out on the forum himself many times in the past, not with remorse but almost with pride, so I rightly guessed he would not care about the info, but Im not surprised that in the context he is not to impressed.

^^

Double?

I've got about eleven!

Drugs kill, and drug dealers/distributors are mindless mercenaries as well

Does that include the pub landlord & the tobacconist, or does these terms only apply to drugs you don't do?

I dont know who the English people rather would want stay, a drug criminal or a Gurkha

On this estate there is only one answer to that

Neither might be here for much longer......................

Nick Griffin said

We don't think the most overcrowded country in Europe, can realistically say, 'Look, you can all come and all your relatives.' When the Gurkhas signed up - frankly as mercenaries - they expected a pension which would allow them to live well in their own country.

Because of economic development in Nepal, the British Army pension isn't now enough for them to be able to do that. It would be cheaper for us and probably far better for the Gurkhas to say, 'Why don't we just increase your pension so that more of you can live in Nepal rather than coming to Britain?'

He made the comments on Nicky Campbell's BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast show.

That's a Cambridge graduate talking, not me.

Take everyone's word for it and stand corrected, apologies to larvidchr. As someone that was bizarrely accused of criminal activity (not drug dealing, so far as I could deal, just of illegal business) not long after joining the list I'm probably a bit oversensitive. Not to mention shocked at RR's indiscretion. . .

No sweat robuzo you did not know Redrum is a good story teller, I think one of his nicks was something like "shehiredahitman" or was it the title of the story I don't remember, anyway quite entertaining/scary a bit like watching a child riding a bike blindfolded through the woods.
