Now you know how I prefer to steer clear of controversial subjects, but I'd like to bring this to your attention...

Some of you may have relatives in the forces, even in Afghanistan, but all of you will be aware of the fact that we have troops out there dying and being dreadfully injured almost daily.
Whatever your feeling about the rights and wrongs of this conflict I'm sure that you will agree with me that in that sort of situation small things mean a great deal.

A friend of mine has a nephew out there as we speak and was surprised to find out from him that things we take for granted are not available easily, things like Paracetamol, Plasters, insect bite relief, sun block/high factor suncreams, and also the little niceties of life like sweets, deodorant, shampoo and shower gels.

Now I don't now about you but I find this fucking appalling, not but not terribly surprising

On another forum I use, we have decided to try and do our bit, we are getting together shoe boxes filled with little bits and pieces, and I wondered if there were any people over here that might feel like doing the same.

Here's the list of things they want/need

Choc hobnobs (vacuum sealed if poss)
Sour cream n chive Pringles
Little packets of harribo's
Gum
Polos
Pot noodles
Bachelors noodles (chicken or curry flavour)
Marmite
Soreen


Non perfumed roll on
Soap
Soap for washing clothes
Alcohol hand cleaner (essential item)
Dehydration sachets (essential item)
Wound clearer
Plasters
Paracetamols
Antihistamine cream
Sun block
High factor sun cream
After sun
toothpaste
Foot talc
Nappy rash cream
Black cotton socks
Black sports sock
Wet wipes

Details of where it can all be sent can be obtained by gazzing me - I will be away from my computer til around midnightish tomorrow night though, so don't expect a fast response.

BTW if they are 2kgs or under the PO will transport them free, that's right FREE you cunts.
