    I did exactly that in Argentina (Mendoza). Had some Arsenal memorabilia hung up too. I did not however carry on to the Presidential Palace.
    It was good while it lasted.

    Nonsense ... Cyril Clunge's ghost-writers are already hard at work and the story of Juliet Bravo Nine will be available on Kindle by late September.

    I'd refuse to serve them too, can you imagine the damage a load of SAS will do to your pub as they blunder about with black nasty covering their eyes!

    its not that its the fact they have to throw flash bangs everywhere and come off the roof to kick the windows in, it makes a right mess of the kiddies den I can tell you.

    'crash-bang-ratatatatatatata- clear- 2 pints of shandy please bar keep' - 'OI! your barred!'
    what the world needs is an enema, make that two - just to give it a sense of purpose.

    US electoral democracy is just a structured system of legalised bribery.

    a senior Chinese officer has said, “all the great nations in the world own aircraft carriers – they are symbols of a great nation”. That’s why China has just commissioned its first. By the same token, to opt for a “carrier gap” of some years is to abandon your responsibilities.

    Easy one - is there a balcony in this Palace? Bound to be, out there. So, just watch it and wait.

    Urmm...according to the OP it has been reported!
    Dry books of tactics are beneath the notice of a man of genius, and it is a known fact that every British officer is inspired with a perfect knowledge of his duty, the moment he gets his commission; and if it were not, it would be sufficiently acquired in conversaziones at the main-guard or the grand sutler's.
