Atomic Tiki Punk - I can appreciate that . . . but I signed the National Secrets Acts when I was "Badged" to the Regiment - a document I continue to respect to this date. I've been out of the Regiment for 30 years now. Suffice it to say that I was one of the participants in "Operation Nimrod" at Princess Gate in 1980 - and have the burns on my arm to show for it! My last two years with the Regiment were spent as Commander of the Jungle Warefare training Center in Brunai - accompanied by 2 Gurkah Rifles until I pensioned out it 1982. Bear Grills has nothing on me! I used to teach what he demonstrates on his "Man vs Wild" TV show! My nickname "Gentlehangman" comes from my uncle (on my mother's side) Albert Pierrepoint - he was married to my mother's aunt Annie. If you don't know who Albert Pierrepoint was . . you can look him up. I only knew him as the Publican of "Help the Poor Struggler" but he had another "Profession".

I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.
