Events you never thought would happen.
I'm sat in a bar in Buenos Aires, on a work trip, and couldn't help but cast my mind back to 1982.
I was 14 in 1982, but I can recall it like yesterday. The country pulling together, the shuttle diplomacy. The famous words of Brian Hanrahan. Ian MacDonald. Even the text of the signal announcing victory "Be pleased to inform Her Majesty...". All of it through the eyes of a 14 year old Airfix Boy of course. I never thought I would end up in Buenos Aires.
This set me thinking. On my technically last day in the mob (though in reality I had been out for 12 weeks), I was in Moscow. Completely unthinkable when I took the Queen's Shilling 15 years previously.
Perhaps I am getting old! What a sobering thought.Any more out there?
