    At first I thought 'huh?' then realised we'd strayed into the war and away from the phonetic alphabet! lol!

    Hi John
    If you haven't already done so, read "Scourge Of The Swastika" and "Kinghts of Bushido" by Lord Russell of Liverpool.

    Jim,

    at the risk of getting a real blast from Morag for straying way off topic, I notice you describe yourself as an ex-warrant officer. RAF or RN ??

    Oooooh, how I wish I could make it, I've a brand new rollin peen..!
    But honest, I really need to memorise the code..if my printer worked (don't know why it doesn't) I'd print Hughie's list off and stick it by my phone..no more awkward pauses while I rummage in my brain and come up with total insanity. I think my brain is wired wrong.. and PT, LP shutit! I prefer to think of it as creative rather than loony.. lol!
