Chugalug,
Yes, you have to take "with a pinch of salt" any stories which haven't taken place in front of your eyes (old Irish proverb: "Believe nothing that you hear - and only half of what you see !")
But my next Javelin story (they do seem to hog the limelight, don't they) was all too real.
It is nice to hear of our Russian friends (?) being so apologetic about the incursion - perhaps they weren't ready for Armageddon just then !
Danny.
