    That is all.
    Not at all dear chap, think nothing of it.

    To save confusion in future though - she's in the white stockings with a bottle of surgical spirits; I'm in the black stockings with the bottle of surgical spirits.

    No sooner did we form into teams than we were re-organised.
    I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet every situation by re-organising and what a wonderful method it is for giving the illusion of progress whilst only producing confusion, inefficiency & demoralisation.

    I have had the Pink Fizzy and am now forcing Mr Lucs to watch Strictly Ballroom. Because I am nice like that.

    Why don't Polar bears eat penguins?

    Can't get the wrappers off.

    *I took that one too.
    Really? Care to explain how you managed to get the Polar Bear to Antartica?

    The harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the infantry and in fact all the arms, lean on the Gunners - Field Marshal Montgomery.

    Looks like the arse end of a mortar bomb to me.
    I remember Paddy Blagden and "There are six million mines Mozambique".
    I also remember going to the UN MAS in Sarajevo to tell them that some of the minefields they were showing on their landmine contamination maps of Bosnia didn't exist, to be told that the red dots on the map were "representational" and were put there to make sure that donors gave money to the UN for mine clearance.

    That's not to say that all of the mine maps of Bosnia were faked, but some certainly were egged up a bit by the UN.

    Little Bosnia and UN story from 1993.

    One evening the Bn watchkeeper had reason to phone, via Inmarsat, the duty UN watchkeeper in New York concerning a serious cease-fire violation (again). Eventually she got through and carefully explained the location, Vitez in Central Bosnia.

    The guy on the line in New York said, 'Bosnia? Which continent is that on?'
    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.
