The “bang switch”
This may be the season of serenity, selflessness and making spirits bright, but it’s also the season of domestic obligation. That explains why we were at the house of one of my wife’s friends, making stilted conversation and eating unimaginative food.
As it usually does when I’m around, the conversation turned to hunting and shooting, and the young boy of the house, still a few years away from hunting but already tuned in to bloodsport, volunteered that he knew the rules of gun safety.
As a hunter education instructor and gun-safety Nazi, I was interested in hearing what this 7-year-old had to say about the topic.
“Always point your muzzle in a safe direction,” he recited. “Be sure of your target, and beyond. Treat every gun as if it were loaded.”
Then he paused. He and I both knew there was one more cardinal rule, but he was momentarily stumped.
Then he blurted out the answer, leaving all of us briefly stunned before we busted up in laughter, social awkwardness melted before the insightful perspective of the youngest member of our group.
“Keep your booger finger off the bang switch until you’re ready to shoot!”

Why the Bishop of Rochester is right about 'no-go' areas for non-muslims in Britain. All he said was what everybody is thinking. Only the Liberal media and some idiot politicians are 'outraged' and they are totally out of touch. Gates of Vienna has the latest on the Lionheart situation.
Hillary Clinton bristles as Obama stays calm. Expect some really dirty fighting in the next 24 hours.
UN seeks to halt Hizbollah arms in Lebanon. Way too late. The UN have been turning a blind eye to Hizbollah for years. I can only assume the the latter have rearmed totally and the UN are now making a token gesture so they have some deniability.

Neville Jacobs – A brief outline of his Burma Campaign
In June 1940, I went to India by ship via Cape Town on the "Strathaird". We docked in Bombay in September 1940 and proceeded to Mhow. There I remained until February 1942. During this time,I had basic training and became an instructor. This included training for would be officers for the Signals.
I was posted to Jubbelpore and from there, I and my friend Charles Hunt were posted to Banaglore where we became part of the 20th Indian Signal Division. After a period of time, we were sent to Ceylon were we trained for jungle warfare.
I was sent back to India for a wireless course for the "Number 9 set". A very powerful device. In fact, as I had been using this radio for a number of weeks in Ceylon, I was asked to take the class! I then returned to Ceylon (where I spent the best part of 18 months) where we took part in two mock battles against another division (we won).
In September 1943, the whole unit was sent to Ranchi, Northern India (at that time I was a sergeant in the 20th Indian Division) from there we proceeded into Burma. Also, around this time, I had a brief and interesting assignation with Flight Officer Jackie Coogan! After facing a determined Japanese advance, we repeatedly retreated, initially from Imphal, until we found ourselves at Kohima in March 1944.
After the battle at Kohima we rested, re-grouped ready for the offensive. After several months we had pushed through into Burma, crossed the Chindwin and eventually routed the Japanese. My friend Charles Hunt CQMS and I took two truck loads of prisoners to Yeho airport where we handed them over to the Military Police. Then I flew to Calcutta and then repatriated. I disembarked at Gourock in April 1945.
He is also Jeremy's father. Which has no doubt been far more harrowing than his wartime service!!
