So I am not alone then, should I even try to compromise with him?

Deck him and do the time, it'll be easier and less emotionally straining

Not too sure that will go down so well with the miss', plus beating a sixty year old man doesn't do my image much good.

sounds to me Dave, that he is secretly really chuffed...

and isn't the navy/army/air force thing not just millilitre banter.

don't you think if he really thought that you were not right for his daughter (being an ex army officer), that he would have pulled you aside and told you to sling your hook...

i had a mate when i was younger who's dad was an army officer, and it took a looooong time for him to warm to me. i think these type of people dont like letting people 'in'.

True, I know he respects my role and unit but perhaps he feels Becks could find someone a little better and offer a more stable life style.

Looks like I am gonna have to have a chat with him....

I don't know owt about army heirachy and such, but perhaps his 'little comments' are just that, maybe he likes winding you up, cause you bite?
He perhaps knows you rise to it, and enjoys reeling you in so to speak.
As Bibio says he probably respects you even though he does it

Or maybe I've got it wrong

To be honest it is the only time I don't bite, and it doesn't take much for me to bite.

ah well, that alone shows you have a real respect for him then.
maybe he just likes a bit of a debate about something close to his heart

if Becks wanted someone 'better' she would be with someone else, but she is not she is with you... if Becks is happy then her dad is happy...

and from the little threads Becks has posted.. trust me m8 she is welllll happy...

Aye, I respect the guy but the looks I get from the miss' are usually enough for me to know when to stay quiet.

Perhaps I should see how it will turn into a conversation.

All dads are like that with their daughters.
