Noticed on the Beeb they were showing a letter from some officer in the Greek Air Force saying that they were welcome at the airfield, shock horror why were they arrested then, just above them words were strickly no photographs, good old Beeb witholding the whole story. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The previous thread on this topic ( in Rumours and News ) was closed by Danny on 5th Dec. From the first entry this looks like going the same route.

I suggest killing it now to save Danny the time and bother.

Cor blimey mates, Stavros say whatsa problem, innit? Me and my boys selling nice kebabs to friendly Brit snapper peeps who taking our pictures to send back to Papa in Basildon! Some military geezer say they got pictures of knackered old helicopters in background - so what? We just having fun 'n Ouzo with our EU chum peeps an' then some police come up an' say "Oi, Stavros - get outa here 'cos they're spies an' we gonna arrest them" I say "Ere, mate - no way! They nice friendly holiday folks just want have best kebab in Kalamata an' thas' it! We get on great with every nice visitor to here, so you p*ss off back to your colonels, OK peeps?" But military piggies say these snapper-peeps got little stepladders, so they gotta be spies! No way, mates, we know they jus' friends. So please let 'em outa jug an' we all have Kleftiko an' Retsina party to celibrate, innit. Cor blimey - Stavros an' son even give 'em free Ouzo to celibrate, mates!

Now then BEagle careful fella, you need to get out more. Very similar to faxing ATC from the Falklands about the passing of wind! As if we really cared.

WHA' IS YOUR DME SITIA??

PS - was supposed to be a tribute to the 'friendly kebab man' on Harry Enfield's show, not to be 'anti-Greek'!

PPS - don't understand the reference to faxing ATC in the Islas Malvinas about 'the passing of the wind'??
