They claim they have been forced to take the step by decades of misrule which has siphoned away millions of pounds of government funds earmarked for them. Despite the lucrative tea and tourism ...

(sorry if this post comes up twice ...) I found this interesting JRCIGARS.com: GURKHA LEGEND - CHURCHILL BUNDLE CIGARS, From Honduras, 7.00 x 48, $99.95 (MSRP $400.00) I checked all over and haven't seen the gurkah legend ever in 7x48. I called JRs and the woman on the phone was no help at all. She just mentioned 'that's what it says." I ordered them and they just came in. Smoking one ...

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF GB. WISH YOU VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPORUS NEW YEAR 2010. MAM. You are the one ramained for Gurkhas as a proper QUEEN because Gurkha Brigade has no more King and Queen in Nepal. I think, Nepal King Mahendra was the Honorary Filed Marshal of GB but present Chief of of the Nepal Army Chatramansingh Gurung is not being counted in any designation right now, why ?

The only time Asians join the British army is to get into Britain, the Gurkhas are queuing up to join in an effort to escape the poverty of their home land, it's true they are good soldiers, but they have their own agenda and it's not for the love of Britain, and now they have the right to stay here and bring their families, that's going to cost us millions, Sikhs fought for us in the war, ...

I"m thinking Mongols for toughest ancient world soldiers. My choice for modern day soldiers would be the Gurkhas based on their reputation since haven't actually seen them. The Tercio de Extranajeros (Spanish Foreign Legion) which I have seen.

Posted by: Dynamic Echoes Posted by: Johnny Badfinger OH and the skull on the Helmet of one of the Spartans was a nice touch, you can just tell the bloke is a nut case... liked his beasty combat knife/machete. That type of knife is called a Kukri, it is used in real life by the Gurkhas. A knife used by gerkhins? It seems in Halo, the cucumbers cut you. ;) Only joking.

Quote: Are you referring to RAP canopies? Errr, what's an RAP canopy? The parachute referred to in my post as the British wartime one was the X-type, think.

Ha, now we are being cryptic, you thought I would miss that the anagram of Gurkhas was the signature dish of Gomersall, 'Hag Rusk'. Served daily at it's Michelin rated eatery, 'Pommes Fries aux Poisson.' (avec le grand saucisson) Chef Gordon's greatly admired sauisson and Roger the Vicar (available after matins)
