According to the BBC a fight broke out in the Taiwan parliament !!

got me to thinking, can you imagine with all the abuse and insults that gets thrown about in the house of commons if they decided to have a good old rumble in the middle (that bit they arent supposed to tread on)

now I know labour have a vast majority, but is Paddy Ashdown still there? surely with his ex SAS roots, you would have to fancy the lib/dems for once!?

Now a thing I would like to see is who would be first in the que to give Phony Tony a kicking!

My money's on Paddy Pantsdown...

I reckon he'd pull off a couple of finishing moves from Mortal Kombat no sweat.

Paddy Pantsdown wasn't in the SAS he was in the SBS. So I expect he'd stick his oar in alright!

 

Pity Maggies not there anymore, bet she could kick a$$

 

Surely William Hague a.k.a. The Mekon could use his zapper ray and kill everyone...

Barry, I thought Paddy was just a plain old Rupert in the Royal Marines? Not even SBS...?

 

He claims SBS as far as I am aware.

There are many "oiks" who claim to have been in the SAS.

Locally to me that is most likely they have served with the Salford Ambulance Service!

 

What is Paddy Ashdowns real name? I think he got the name Paddy because either he was Irish or was in the Irish Guards before the SBS. Whatever it is my money's on him.

for petes sake dont start a political fight.....take a look at

 

Its all good humoured on Scoobynet m8...

 

I though he was called Paddy 'cos his full name is, er.....Patrick?

 

I'm sure it was a nick name

 

SBS is the special Boat squadron, the navel version of the SAS.

Either group would kick **** so dont slag either off!!

 

Barge, I wouldn't refer to them as the 'navel' version - or they'll be coming after you first...

it would seem so!!
On the Evo forum this would have been war by now.
Great bunch though........

 

As a bootneck myself, I can confirm that Paddy served as a Royal Marines Officer (Captain) between 1959-1972 with Commando Units in Far East, Middle East and Belfast. He then served with the Command Unit of the Special Boat Service in the Far East.

Paddy Ashdown's real name is Jeremy. He got his nickname "Paddy" serving with the Royal Marines due to the fact that he was brought up just outside Belfast. Pretty original nickname eh! Guess that's why we were told that MARINE stands for Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential.

My troop Sergent was an SBS training officer for over 15yrs. They're some tough bunch of guys - I certainly wouldn't mess with him or any of them.

Would have been great to see Paddy kick John Major's ar$e though

When I was in the Army we spent a week on exercise in the Mediteranean with the SBS and I wouldn't want to upset them after what they had to do!!
