    Not a Brit, but seems in context to mean "figured out".
    Don't them Limeys talk funny?


    Just kidding; don't send a strike team!

    that's why I asked if it was cockney, and I'd like the other part of the rhyme... who know's he might become a china of mine.

    I believe a profile is necessary. 2PARA has not posted one.

    that was an after thought... but you certainly add to my argument.

    Marine Townsend

    Well, guys. Who said that public pressure doesn't work? It sure does...
    Marine offered free building work

    Joe Townsend lost his legs while serving in Afghanistan
    An injured marine fighting to build a specially-designed bungalow has been inundated by tradesmen offering to work for free, says his family.

    Joe Townsend, 20, who lost his legs in Afghanistan, wants to build the house on land in East Sussex owned by his grandfather David Carter.

    Wealden District Council rejected the proposals, calling them "intrusive" but will consider revised plans next month.

    Mr Carter, 70, said his grandson was over the moon with the offers.

    Approval expected

    The council's planning committee voted by a slim majority to reject the planned building, incorporating a bathroom and carers' room, on land at his grandparents' home in Hankham Hall Road in Pevensey, near Eastbourne.

    Gordon Brown intervened after the case was taken up by the Noel's HQ programme on Sky1, telling the show that the council "must do the right thing immediately and reconsider this case". We have got a whole load of tradesmen offering to work for free on it

    David Carter, grandfather

    The Tory-controlled council said it had originally been willing to discuss a revised proposal.

    A new application has been submitted and is expected to be formally approved at a planning committee meeting next month, said Mr Townsend's grandfather.

    Mr Carter said: "So many people have come forward offering their help.

    "We have got a whole load of tradesmen offering to work for free on it, including plasterers, tilers and builders. All of them have come forward wanting to do their bit."

    Mr Carter said his grandson was "over the moon" by the public reaction, adding: "He is already on the internet looking for tiles and other things to go in the home. It's keeping him going."

    Mr Townsend, who lost one leg completely and one below the knee when he stepped on a landmine has had several operations and rehabilitation at Headley Court in Surrey.

    that's awesome!!!!! if only Americans were the same way.

    can we start an organization that puts these kinds of things out there for the public to volunteer help to disabled war veterans????

    this would be a wonderful thing for our vets, and with VA funds available the outcome of the improvements with private donations and labor support could yield a much nicer improvement.

    Full planning permission has now been approved. It would seem that the local Council insisted that the proposed home had to be moved a couple of metres. To comply with green belt planning laws!

    Big deal, end result is what mattered....

    So basicly, the politicians just had to have the final word, no matter how petty, just to save a little face. Azzholes! But as you say, end result is all that mattered!

    Good to hear that our brother Marine has got some of what he deserves for fighting and losing so much for his country. God bless you mate and all those other bootnecks and leathernecks who gave for us and still do. I am glad to be able to join your site my brothers and you will hear more from me. Bob Tucker. 1971-1993. 12 tours of the "emerald isle" and the falklands for the fighting, plus a few "bits and bobs" as we call them. You know, things where we were never there etc! Semper Fi and Per Mare Per Terram.

    further to the reply to the guy calling himself "2 para" and a so called "friend of the Marines" I doubt his credibility, and as ssgt Petzold said and also as was commented upon by "Oldanglico" he seems to be misled. With friends like him, we don't need enemies! he should be more careful and caring about what he says as it can be hurtful, whether intentional or not. yours aye Bob Tucker.
