I don't read the Currant Bun and would never view it as a source of fact. If you re-read what I posted, I said many not all. The documentary accessible via the link I posted makes it perfectly clear that Tumbledown was defended by elite 5th Marines - that is not in dispute. However, not all the 13,000 Argie troops on the islands were 5th Marines. Our closest ally could not intervene as it has treaty obligations to Argentina (that still exist). There's nothing like a war victory to aid a politician, though it did not work for Winston Churchill. Thatcher was a splendid wartime PM though, overall, an absolute disaster for the UK.

On 2 April, 1982, the armed forces of Argentina invaded the British Overseas Territory of the Falkland Islands. Following the failure to submit to a UN resolution, a British Task Force undertook military action to liberate the islands and their population. Both sides suffered significant casualties before the Union Flag was raised again. Today, on the 30th anniversary of the beginning of a tragic and unnecessary conflict, we remember those on both sides who fell. Many of the Argentinian troops were conscripts, facing a highly trained and highly motivated force of professional soldiers. It was an uneven contest and my enduring memory from the TV news after the Argentine surrender was of those poor lads shivering in the open as POWs. God rest all who fell and grant continuing peace in the South Atlantic. http://youtu.be/7FNAoPtdIg0

Congratulations and best wishes on such a wonderful and loving reunion!

That's great! You have a real talent.

Enjoy your special day, mate!

He did a good job with the junk food documentary, even though he damaged himself in the making of it. Shame the fools in London didn't take heed before signing up Ronald McDonald as the official caterer for the Olympics...

I've ordered the DVD (£3.97 at Amazon!).

I would like to further confirm: 1) I was flying the chopper; 2) the sniper is still an asshole I would also like to opine that I am very disappointed with the plot. The engineer should, ideally, have changed teams and returned to shoot the asshole sniper with his USAS. That is all.

I would like to confirm: 1) I was flying that chopper; 2) the sniper is an asshole! LOL!

Just had this movie recommended to me, watched the trailer and had to order the DVD immediately! This looks f***ing hilarious! Risky subject matter for a black comedy but all the signs are that the director succeeded without offending people.

If the mic is plugged into a hub, try plugging it into its own USB socket. I once had a webcam that would not work via a hub at all. Also, which operating system are you using? I see there have been issues with the Razor for three years...

There's a new TV series starting over here, made by "Super-size Me" documentary-maker Morgan Spurlock. It's an outsider's view of the UK and its people and looks at the differences between the USA and UK. It promises to be revealing, entertaining if not absolutely hilarious! I picked out this from the newspaper's interview as it shows how distorted Brits' views of each other can be... "Did he notice any signs of a North-South divide? “Absolutely. Everybody in the North thinks that everybody in the South is stuck-up and thinks they’re better than them. Everybody in the South thinks everybody in the North is stupid and doesn’t know what really makes the world go around. It’s very much like America; there is a real divide there too.” " On this issue, if anyone bothers to journey to the North of England, they'll find that people up there have a much cheaper cost of living, employment prospects are better and quality of life is probably superior. So much cash has been poured into previously depressed areas and foreign companies like Nissan have been attracted. The perception is that we southerners are all rich, whereas one doesn't have to travel far from here to encounter communities with very high unemployment and little chance of finding work. We are all branded "Cockneys" whether or not we actually qualify for that description, due to the southern accent. I am the product of a North-South marriage (I am actually the only Londoner in my family!) so can celebrate the best of each end of England. The best black pudding is made in Bury, Lancashire, the best beer brewed in the Midlands, the best football played in Liverpool. But I always enjoy returning to "The Smoke" (as London is known colloquially, due to the pre-Clean Air Act smogs that used to blanket the city) as it does feel like going home.

The news reports that there is at least one winner of the massive prize, in Maryland. I can't recall if any Idiots live in MD... That's a crazy amount to win! News report: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17553329

I found a video of Stage 11... http://youtu.be/ACKAdVasFU0

On the day that news broke of a return to our TV screens of the classic satirical comedy, here's a clip from the original... Margaret Thatcher was said to be a fan!

The guy makes a reference to the RCMP so I presume this took place in Canada. Maybe they have a use of force policy like the one we have in England. I never handcuffed a compliant, non-violent drunk, when I was doing the job. Any use of force beyond the verbal has to be justified and documented. (I know that in the USA even witnesses are cuffed... Wholly illegal here.) It also looks like the prisoner's end of the vehicle is a "bubble" such as those with which we experimented at one time. He has no access to the front at all.

This guy is obviously as sober as a judge...even if he did perform Bohemian Rhapsody in the back of the squad car! http://youtu.be/QOKKWtJoDHg

I think it's time for another song...LOL! http://youtu.be/NcIVwAIbzVw

Potentially, that is yes! But only if I have planted C4 on your tank and you then shoot me before I set it off. C4 will no longer persist after a player's demise. Mines are also capped so we can only ever have six on the ground at a time. RPGs and SMAWs will, however, kill choppers! That is better!

The hobby certainly teaches you about water chemistry, doesn't it? The biggest obstacle to keeping Amazonian fish like tetras here is the hard, alkaline water. It has to be treated before fish can survive. If one wants a tank full of rocks and big African cichlids, that's less of a headache, but I always loved the little neons among plenty of weed in the pet store. Even with the goldies (one of which was blue!), I would spend time watching them rather than the TV!
