Compulsory National Service

in order to preserve a healthy military and obedient population, all people, at the age of 18 should be required to undergo mandatory military service of at least a one year duration. An exception of this would be Oxbridge students, as the conscription for the countries finest minds would be too great a risk

great idea.

no idea what Howards on about though....

Segat's location is Cambridge. I assumed therefore that he is an Oxbridge student. I note your location is Oxford and assuming you too are an Oxbridge student it doesn't surprize me to find you in agreement with Segat.

For a start, segat is a she (check out the little pink icon...)
Secondly, she is not an Oxbridge student.

Tea and crumpets, Bikerx23 m'dear?

Clearly, Howard is one of the ones who would need to do the National Service. Tea and crumpets, Bikerx23 m'dear?

Exactly. Let's see these "great minds" put up a tent and chop some wood!

As you can see - qualifications speak for themselves (and those enable me to do so much more than chop wood and put up a tent).
