Lord Lovat, who went into battle with a walking stick, ordered Pte Millin to play as the landing craft doors opened. As shells exploded overhead and machinegun fire raked the beach, Pte Millin, 21, wearing the kilt his father had worn in the First World War, obeyed even though it meant disregarding a direct order from high command, which feared that pipers would attract sniper fire.

Mr Millin, 78, from Sandyhills, Glasgow, and now living in Dawlish, Devon, who appeared as himself in The Longest Day, a film about the Normandy landings, said: "I was the only one with a kilt, a set of bagpipes and a knife, and I wasn't armed.

My most traumatic experience was jumping into the cold waters with a kilt on. As I hit the water I began playing Highland Laddie. Lord Lovat turned round and gave me a smile." His pipes were silenced four days later by German shrapnel.

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/rules.php

A list of hysterical rules compiled by a British squaddie in the balklans.

Examples :
God may not contradict any of my orders.
Must not taunt the French any more.
Not allowed to sing 'High Speed Dirt' by Megadeth during airborne operations. ('See the earth below/Soon to make a crater/Blue sky, black death, I'm off to meet my maker')
No part of the military uniform is edible.
I may not trade my rifle for any of the following: Cigarettes, booze, sexual favors, Kalishnikovs, Soviet Armored vehicles, small children, or bootleg CD's.

Hmmm... I would rather have a Soviet Armored Vehicle than a British rifle.  :P

A new way to waste time: chat with a somewhat intelligent-sounding, rather wacky bot.

OR read some conversations, which is just as funny.

Personally, I think the "personal rivalry" between Sam Logan and Jeph Jacques is one of the funiest things going

I'm not even sure what this is.

Jeff Rowland describes it as heroin laced with magic. I suppose that's close enough. This guy has a fertile, if a bit disturbing, imagination.
