I have to agree.... at least i part Jb... Firstly cos I reckon you are right, and he will get loads of flack.. secondly, cos I think he will pick Rachel  (especially as they are at this moment trying to make him do that , for their own ends), and then we won't get rid of Dave....  lastly, cos if he is up and doesn't go it will boost his confidence....

i'd just wish he'd grow a pair and stop trying to be everything to everyone and win the feckin task and shove mario  up and be done with it.
It's so strange, a lot of my upper-class friends come from military backgrounds, but they just can't deal with personal conflict. Ben seems so awkward whenever he's confronted (and thinks he can use his book learnt intelligence to get himself out of trouble).
I remember one of my vairy vairy posh titled friends being horrified when we were caught up in a slanging match with our neighbours in our shared house. She used to just crumple at the 'barbarity' of it all, while I was quite happy to swap insults over the fence

I'd never made that connection before... but thinking about it, yeah, I agree.

Hubby & his mates from Sandhurst...  they are all like that.   I had always phrased it as them always choosing the path of least resistance...  but actually I think you're right!

Perhaps they have much better manners and don't like the idea of screaming like banshees at each other
I can only speak about the blokes I know like this...   its not manners - they are quite happy to rip the piss out of people...   its a direct confrontation they shy away from.

What on earth do they teach them at Sandhurst     Too much weeing in bottles during regimental dinners and not enough asserting yourself skills me thinks! 

my hubby would sulk if he read this...   perhaps even chunter a bit under his breath    

Unless I said "not you... just your mates"... then he would probably agree!

one of the  lasting memories of my childhood, was when this horrible woman up the road, snatched my ball off me when i was in my front garden and hissed at me
' this is  simon's ball, you nasty little oik' and stalked off with it.

i was a bit nonplussed so went indoors and sulked and my mum asked me what wrong so i relayed it all, my auntie was visiting at the time, so i was left with her indoors and mum went  outside, stormed up the road, hammered on her door, clutching the receipt for the ball, and proceeded to bellow at the woman whilst practically shoving the receipt down her throat,got my ball back and then came storming back  to our house, shouting about nazis over her shoulder.

my auntie said' oh my goodness was that you shouting in the street, how awful,just stay inside now' 

hahah, i love my mum.
