I can't think right now of other lyrics to go with the chorus of "Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die." I'll post them later on if I come up with something.

I am training (with my boss's permission) for Nijmegen yet again, but I have no more expectation than last year of being able to go. However, it does me good and gets me out of the office three times a week.

The new small pack that has now been issued to just about everybody in the Canadian Army is a good piece of kit - a lot better than the old rucksack. We have to carry 10 kg of dead weight, i.e. beyond water and food, so I'm not sure that webbing would do the trick.

I'm glad to see someone your age using the Mudcat. Why not get a membership?
