Love it !!! This was initially the same type of reaction we got at JustChat when the site layout and appearance was re-designed. Civilisation (as we know it) was predicted to have ended and so on.
Amazingly, here we all are …… strange that eh???
Sword is absolutely correct. Most of these types of payment are made by the organisation’s insurers rather than the organisations themselves.
The typist’s thumb claim would have been settled by the MOD’s Employer’s Liability insurer for example. However, injuries to serving soldiers are typically either not insured or are uninsurable. Thus any payment made has to come directly from the MOD’s operational budget.
In any insured damages claim there is a well established ”tarriff” of compensation payments. Whiplash injuries caused in car accidents are a good example of this, where the “quantum” of damages follows a well established pattern and is quantified under a number of well known headings.
Unfortunately the same ‘rules’ do not apply to active military personnel who are injured in the course of their duties – whether in the ‘front line’ or elsewhere.
Whilst I am entirely confident that we can all agree that this is ‘wrong’ and that the amounts paid often bear no relationship to the severity of the injury, nevertheless this is the way it is and all we can do is to lobby our (non-listening) politicians to improve the system.
I predict that all webcams will be factory fitted with “Anti Porn” software that will prevent them from transmitting unsavoury pictures.

DOA’s post is without doubt totally accurate except for one thing.
He forgot to mention that Summer’s mother was said to be the more attractive one ….. which might explain Summer’s current availability on a Saturday night.
Hello Becky. All is OK and yes you’re right, there are a lot of new faces about.

………..Pikey, you are obviously an intelligent fellow, and you express yourself well. However, it also seems that you have a bee up your ass and you might do well to pull it out. I’m assuming by you calling me “Baldy” that you are referring to my character rather than my pate, as we have never laid eyes on one another. It seems bad manners to continue using it when my name is Stephen, but do as you will. It neither offends, nor bothers me, but it does make me think of you as an unworthy debating partner.

Stephen, may I offer you some unsolicited advice? Pikey’s ironic use of the nickname “Baldy” when quoting your posts, has more to to with what is known as “English humour” than with casting aspersions on either your character or your physical appearance.
However, I assume that you hail from the North American continent and as such may not fully appreciate his use of irony. If you feel at any time that a fuller explanation of this quintesentially English form of humour is required, please do not hesitate to ask.
Sober or pissed??
On second thoughts – you wouldn’t have the choice would you?
Adolf Hitler in say mid 1938.
I’d say to him “Look pal, if you go and invade Poland next year, it’ll all end in tears ….. and you’ll end up shooting yourself.” “Just stick with getting the trains to run on time and the whole world will love you”.
“Oh and BTW, watch out for that Winston Churchill bloke. He can be a really nasty bugger if he gets annoyed with you”.
