Also, I loved the bit in the Telegraph (can't find it on line, sorry) where a young soldier in Helmand said that they had considered offering 'to play the Taliban at football on Christmas day but decided that the Taliban would miss the joke'.
Fanastic dry humour that had me crying tears of laughter. Made me realise why the enemy will never beat us - they haven't a hope! Well said that man.
Thinking of all of our people 'out there' with so little, when the rest of us are wallowing in excess back home!
