As we, West of the pond, are fond of asking:

What, dude? :confused:

Well, no matter. It does remind me that I ought to leave the room for a while.
 
Thank you Brendan and Thom.

I'm trying to recall the process of application numbers to acceptance numbers for a young man to make it into the Gurkhas. Something like 10,000 to 200?

Amazing men.

Nice to visit them.
 
No pun intended there I trust?

The thing that strikes me about the Gurkhas is their pride, whenever I saw them around the Sandhurst, Camberly, Frimley area out of uniform they were wearing regimental blazers, most soldiers would kill to get into Civvies!

Nice photos, did you get a good look at their collar badges? They looked like signallers to me. What were they collecting for?

One other thing, Brendan, you live in York? I went up there to look at the University and fell in love with the town, right now I am praying they give me a decent offer!
 
i live near York and yeah it is probably the best city in England !!

they were collecting to bring the gurkha vets out from Nepal to see the UK - gave them enough cash to pay a couple of Kamis a months wage and some !
