All very nice, 17 TT Wins, 31 podium finishes 60 starts. Surely that should have been worth a pat on the back, a Life long involvement in the sport and ambassador for the world famous Isle of Man TT races and the Isle of Man.

JUST SAYING 

 

Who for?

Let's not forget his distinguished military career. Nothing like Field Marshal the Lord Admiral Marshal of the Airforce Juan Watterson's of course but we all have to aspire to something..

You don't get much of a uniform in the army:

Not like really important people:

People who know how to prioritise - that's what we need.

Thanks Barlow, perhaps it was me who cheered!

I have never been one to shout at the telly (laptop/PC/iphone) but have been since the Post Office Inquiry, quite a lot and uncontrollably actually, and loudly, and often with swear words.

Over £100k tax free, kept in the lap of luxury in a multi-million pound house with full staff. Serves no useful purpose in a 21st century democracy.

Colonial times are over, we're skint, let's put the money into the health service instead.

:whatever:

looks like you have you taken over the roll of forum dickhead from Crazy Dave?

Just telling it like it is. He sent a few men in from a safe distance in yet another completely pointless war the British were fighting.

Obviously impresses you, but I could think of better things to do with a few hundred grand of public money in hard times.

He must have been very brave - sending his men in 😀

Not his job. As you rise in seniority the knack is knowing your role. You can't do that pinned down in a tank.

From what I've heard about him, a very respected soldier
