"Andybody not wearing 2 million sun block is gonna have a real bad day!!"

"If it comes to that, I'll do us both. Listen, let's just make sure it doesn't come to that, alright?"

No prizes for guessing which films the above quotes come from, but I never thought or

dreamt that I'd be reminded of them this way.

Terminator 2

If it comes to that, I'll do us both. Listen, let's just make sure it doesn't come to that, alright?

I doubt it ... Apparently that's what they used last time !

That's how all the rocks, gravel, camels, palm trees etc got into the engines :duh:

[DaveEllen]

And here was I thinking they were good stuff !!!!!!!!!

Seriously I hope they've sorted the Challenger 2 out......

[Monster-Mat]

that isnt the current crises at the moment...........

the paint is..........

no sooner are the vehicles painted...than its all flaking off again.....cutbacks

and thjeres not enough of it, half the regiments vehicles are going out......GREEN cos thats NOT the colour of choice in a desert

[GRiM]

Careful Mat,

You just might have broken the official secrets act!!

Is that a knock at your door!

[DaveEllen]

I know a chap who was a range warden at lulworth ranges (retired in the summer) they offered him a consultancy role to come out of retirement back on the ranges getting ready for Iraq........he said thanks but no thanks......

his view was that the brass dont want to go........most of the equipment is not up to scratch.........and its a balls up waiting to happen........

If we cant even paint them the right colour..........

hope he's wrong
