Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 This is taken from the website things that they will make very good use from :thumbs: Shoe contents (Rough Idea this is what we have packed) 1. Thermal Hat. 1. Thermal Gloves. 1. Thermal Scarf. 3. Pairs of Socks. 3. Pairs of Pants. 1. Deodorant. 1. Toothbrush. 1. Toothpaste. 1. Packet of Wet wipes. 1. Packet of Mints. If you have some warm clothing, Blankets or sleeping bag and you know where homeless are sleeping why not give them out yourself every little helps in the winter months. Kay, how did you get that logo in your signature???? I was trying the other day but couldn't. Got the sticker on the back of my Land Rover now though, and one here to go on the back of my Ma's posh car next time she comes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Truth hurts?? To some maybe. Bad shit will always happen on what ever side folks fight on, it's a point of view. While there's still folks like you who continue to perpetuate hate for your own reasons, we'll never be able to create any kind of peace and calm. No no andy, as you have seen i dont blame squaddies per se for the wrongs of the world, thats down to their political masters. But you cannot ignore the atrocities either. Good men do bad shit at times under extreme constant pressure, and justice needs to be seen to be done, you cannot invade a country, then kill and mutilate at will. No such thing as a good war, or righteous war, thats all political bulllshit talk. Armies are for defense, what the fuuk are they defending in iraq or afghanistan, fuuk all thats what, and dying for their efforts. Along with 1000s of other ordinary working peoples of the countries they are in. Do you see the brits or yanks in rhawanda or any other oiless shiitholes, where were they when the chinese were putting on their olympic firework display to the world in the opening ceremony, whilst at the same time slaughtering hundreds of peaceful tibetan monks, while the world wowed at their fuuking fireworks, human rights my ass, they just took the piss completely, and there wasnt a fuukin murmur from the brits or the yanks. And thats not right, and i dont see how anyone in their right minds could think it was. SAW tony blair on telly, still got a great set of teeth on him. FLASHING HIS TRADE MARK BOYISH GRIN. greasy b*****d is responsible for 1000s of snuffed out lives, and he is just bouncing thru life, not a care in the world. When we all know the b*****d should be swingIng from a noose at the hague. True you did'nt see our soldiers in Rhawanda but you may have spotted them in Kosovo and on the Ivory Coast some years back. You talk of our soldiers like they were a foreign force, are there none from your part of Great Britain? Edited November 1, 2010 by shepp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Catcher 1 639 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 You need to edit SS. are not or aren't altho most will still know what you mean. eta good O, you noticed. how did you edit without the edit notice in the post. like this. This post has been edited by manxman: Today, 11:47 PM No need to take the p1ss there. SS has got a very valid point. Like it or not.... Manxman, this 'bloke' Strong Stuff deletes anything he doesn't agree with at will. Your fighting a losing battle mate. And if all else fails his little Masonic side-kick Andyfr1968 jumps in to back him up. Let's see if 'he' deletes this.... Now onto the important stuff. I served in the British Army from 1976 until very recently and I know how much these guys need your help. We've just made up two dozen shoe boxes and would encourage everyone to do so. Cheers lads! But it does leave a nasty taste in my mouth seeing this BNP 'person' Strong Stuff setting himself up as some kind of spokesman for our brave lads. The kind of filth he spouts doesn't help anyone,it only serves to cause division and hatred.You're not fit to lick their boots mate, so stop trying to speak for them. We don't need your kind. Please support these guys in any way you can...every little helps. I am not fighting any battle. THE squaddies get a shithouse deal, enD of story. Do you know of any politicians sons or daughters joined up, not a fuukin chance, its easier to send strangers to kill strangers. :thumbs: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you, good folks can do bad things. I can't begin to imagine the horror and the pressure of being in that kind of situation and my heart goes out to those who have.

I'm no one's side-kick, fella, it's just on this occasion I agree with what he's said, that's all. For what it's worth Help For Hero's is my lodge's chosen charity and we raised over £2000 for them last year.... Edited November 1, 2010 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 3,709 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 This is taken from the website things that they will make very good use from :thumbs: Shoe contents (Rough Idea this is what we have packed) 1. Thermal Hat. 1. Thermal Gloves. 1. Thermal Scarf. 3. Pairs of Socks. 3. Pairs of Pants. 1. Deodorant. 1. Toothbrush. 1. Toothpaste. 1. Packet of Wet wipes. 1. Packet of Mints. If you have some warm clothing, Blankets or sleeping bag and you know where homeless are sleeping why not give them out yourself every little helps in the winter months. Kay, how did you get that logo in your signature???? I was trying the other day but couldn't. Got the sticker on the back of my Land Rover now though, and one here to go on the back of my Ma's posh car next time she comes!

readie 184 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 people prob getting fed up with the thread,but bump anyway.just to say what a thread this has been supported by 99 percent of lads/lasses on this forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Has Kay said earlier its not about supporting troops per se more about human welfare and I for one will be sorting through my old thermals and such and posting off. Whether you agree or disagree with any of the conflict thats going on it should be remembered that these squaddies can and do get a piss poor deal from our goverment............so lets not make their lives on civvy street become a battle for them aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
