    Awesome to see them freed. Good to see they weren't just forgotten about.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    I found it disappointing that this jungle hostage rescue did not involve the use of chainguns.

    Obviously some mission planners missed the memo about Tom Clancy being required reading.

    That was plan b:

    "Another 39 helicopters had been standing by, prepared to encircle the rebels and hostages if the rescue failed, Defence Minister Juan Manuel Santos said."

    Assuming they had chainguns, that would have been way cooler.

    You didn't find the application of deceit disappointing then?
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Good to know they are finally out of it!

    Deceit's all very well and good, but it doesn't make up for the lack of chainguns.

    a party doesnt have to have alcohol to be a good party, just celebrating that they are home safe and alive would probably do it!

    watched it on the news this morning - just fantastic!

    The lady gave a press call and already is campaigning to help the other 700 people still held as hostages there.

    That is one strong lady - and I got to say it put a smile on my face knowing that there is someone out there having such a fucken brillant day!

    Please do not show this thread to my mother.

    7 years is a loooooong time. Think back to what you were doing seven years ago!

    Out of it ? Imagine the withdrawals after 7 yrs of nothing to do but get out of it !


    Turns to himself and says It's not so bad, then has a wee skirmish in the corner of the room !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
