The Official ARRSE Guide to the British Army
How will we defeat the Taleban and bring peace to Afghanistan? What will the British soldier of the late 21st century look like? When will the next World War break out? We're damned if we know, but if you want to find out what today's British Army is really like, then The Official Arrse Guide to the British Army is the book for you. Drawn from the wit and wisdom of the ARmy Rumour Service, Britain's biggest and most active military website, the Official Arrse Guide gives the inside track on all aspects of modern British military life. How do I join? Where will I be sent? What's the hardware like? What exactly is it that clerks put in staff officers' coffee? Why do the RAF wear uniforms? Where can I get a decent pair of boots? Is there any meat in an army sausage? All these crucial questions - and more - are answered in The Official Arrse Guide.

Journey through the splendor and the excesses of the Gilded Age "Every aspect of life in the Gilded Age took on deeper, transcendent meaning intended to prove the greatness of America: residences beautified their surroundings; works of art uplifted and were shared with the public; clothing exhibited evidence of breeding; jewelry testified to cultured taste and wealth; dinners demonstrated sophisticated palates; and balls rivaled those of European courts in their refinement.

The public was frantic for information and answers, and the London Daily Telegraph, the largest circulating newspaper in the world at the time, was charged with the task of relaying what exactly had happened to the luxury liner. But with false reports abounding and no access to survivors, that task was easier said than done. Read how a paper, and the world, struggled to find and report the truth of the most disastrous maritime accident in history.
Major Projects Report 2005
This particular publication is published alongside a second volume containing the project summary sheets (HCP 595-II ISBN 0102936439). This NAO report represents the 14th such report into the MoD's procurement of defence equipment. The report examines cost, time and performance data for projects in the year ended 31 March 2005. In total 30 defence equipment projects were examined. Part 1 of this report presents the overall performance of these projects and the progress in implementing Smart Acquisition; Part 2 examines the assessment phase in more detail. The NAO proposes a number of recommendations, among them are: that the cost-effective and timely delivery of mission critical equipments need to be fully recognized when the main investment decision is made; that the Department should clarify what is required to demonstrate the maturity of different types of project, including a clear statement of required best practice along with the consideration of risk and cost and time estimates that are appropriate to the individual projects undertaken.
