Thought of the day


Thought of the day

My definition of hell on earth is to be a landscape painter in Afghanistan, go out for a nice day’s painting and find that you have forgotten your brown.
You have all the other colours- greens and blues for Constable style, reds and oranges for a Turner sunset or even purples in case you come across some water lilies a la Monet.
But no, you are in Afghanistan and everything is as brown as brown can be. No wonder painters get browned off and cut their ears off, pardon?
What there is a real need for is a visit from Ground Force. A couple of hours with Charlie Dimmock and it would soon change their attitude to women.
PS. I want all of our troops to drive in the middle of the road to avoid the bombs.
Bring the boys back home and give peace a chance!
