- A retired army major, who is deaf in one ear, has no sense of smell, suffers from chronic back pain and "doesn't know one end of an SA80 assault rifle from the other", has been asked if he is prepared to serve in Iraq. Ned Middleton, who, at 54, is four years older than the Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon, said yesterday he was amazed when, 11 years after he left the Army, he got a letter from the Ministry of Defence asking if he would like to go back. Although Mr Middleton describes himself as "no bloody use to anyone" and says he takes enough painkillers a day "to lay out an elephant", he is prepared to serve if required. He has even taken up jogging with a 40lb pack on his bad back in case the call comes through. He believes that, because he remains on the reserve list until his 55th birthday next May, the MoD might be trying to recruit a "Dad's Army" of reservists on the cheap. |

I'm guessing the first album is the one to get, but if anyone knows better, or a decent compilation worth grabbing, please speak up. |
