Did you actually know that a remote control developed by modern technologists is intended to prevent you getting up off your arse, walking over to the TV set and plonking a button ?
Now I know why your username is Mad Max, you are living in the past. I suggest you get up off your arse and become familiar with the high tech world of today and not that of Guglielmo Marconi.

In a hopeful way I appreciate your comment. At least it sounds friendly.
I will let you into a secret, Having spent 7 years in the Parachute Regiment, I was trained to fight the odds, no matter what, blood and guts and never give in. After that hard won experience of bumps and bruises, near to Hell and back a few times, the written hassle and distasteful comments I get from mere posters on a Forum is simply kids stuff, means nothing, water on a ducks back.
Para`s are a superb bunch of guys but they do not get crapped on by anybody and don`t get poked in the eye without poking back, that is the way the cookie crumbles - qué será, será.

Well, don't take it too seriously and you will survive the brickbats that get thrown from time to time!

I do not wish to give my age away, but my game of Rambo was well before then.
Looking back, it seems like it was another person who did all those things, I can`t even jump out of bed now let alone an aircraft. Scares the crap out of me now, but not then and I sure am proud to have done it.

Conforming to my Forum image as a Universal dumb-arse, friendless critter with 3 red blobs to my name, what`s cool about not being called Pearl ?

Nothing. People on here seem to be in a snide bitchy mood this week. Ignore the miserable bunch of people.

Marc,
You must be an Angel of Mercy, having descended from Heaven to protect poor old Wittmann from the angry mob..

You can be a bit 'remote' sometimes, but we like you really.

Re: TiVo
My apologies if you are finding the badinage too much.
Most Pongos* I worked with liked a bit of banter and joshing - you seem somewhat averse to it. Most of them (especially the Paras, 'Them', and 14th Int, took great delight in highlighting our military 'shortcomings' - we used to point out that was why they were there......  ).
Were you a Rupert?
* 2nd Royal Anglians, 2nd Para, 229th Signal Squadron, 9 Sigs Regiment, 14th Int, 'Them'......
