| FELLOW captive Faye Turney was instrumental in getting Arthur Batchelor through their terrifying 13-day kidnap ordeal, the 20-year-old said yesterday. Mirror.co.uk - News - Top Stories - ARTHUR: FAYE SAVED ME But, speaking of the moment they were reunited, he told how he wept and begged the 26-year-old for a hug. Arthur said: "I missed Topsy most of all. I really love her, as a mum and a big sister. Not seeing her and not knowing if she was safe was one of the hardest parts of the whole thing.
"Then on the sixth day, when I was just about giving up hope, I was pulled from my bed in the early hours of the morning.
"They led me down a corridor and into a room, where I saw Topsy in a corner.
"I can't describe how that felt...just every emotion rolled into one. I ran up to her, threw my arms round her and cried like a baby.
"When I'd calmed down, she asked, 'Do you need another hug, a mother hug?' and I said, 'damn right'. She was just as pleased to see me because they'd told her I'd been sent home.

That was some of the most ridiculous crap I've ever read... Are the British now severing the testicles of their troops?

Country: | The 15 hostages talking to the press seems to be becoming more embarrasing/controversal than the whole Iranian kidnapping.
Latest joke to be doing the rounds:-
"15 British servicemen arrested in Iranian waters. 14 guys and 1 girl. It doesn't take a f$*king genius to work out who was reading the map."

The Ministry of Defence has banned personnel from selling their stories to the media until a review of the rules governing the issue is completed.
| Not odd, expected... They have to review it and they cant make up their minds, so ban it for the time being...

I agree with you that those words would not seem to come from a man that is in the military of a nation who stills move within the inner circle of world powers...but do you think the feeling of that guy is out of line?

Country: | Out of line???
No.... Not everyone has an iron will, and obviously this kid bein 20 didnt help matters much, just bein off of mommies tit.... He thought he was gonna die and was scared... Nothing wrong with that, in solitude, but to act all out of control around ur shipmates is wrong... Gotta be strong and give all the support u can...
Not whimper and ask for a hug...
