Im really liking the life of brian thing!!!

Id love to recreate the scene where on one of the first secret morayshire submarine hunters to land at Basrah in 03 us lineys looked perplexed at the Crew donning thier body armour and combat helmets, on crossing the iraqi border and wondering why we didnt have any!

Being true resourceful techies that we were we improvised by using a few dozen pie tins and some locking wire

Always look on the bright side of life do do , do do di do di do......

I agree on the spontaneity issue.

Hopefully this may give food for thought to someone out there and we'll see it on ITV soon ?

Here's hoping

When you've finished with the flying one - have a look at the Y Coy PWRR and the defence of their CIMIC house.

It has to be spur of the moment otherwise it looks like a PR exercise. Can't help but feel "Master of puppets - Metallica" is appropriate as a backing track. Apologies for poor spelling, It's been a usual friday night at sunny LYE... I've had one too many sherberts.

So how exactly did the crew manage to wear their combat helmets and headsets at the same time

Headsets...you don't think were that advanced do you. Nothing wrong with a few cans and a lenght of string. Just ask the AAC!

One of the UK MFTS bidders, Ascent I think, used Take Me Out for their video... it's a nice edit where the explosions are timed just right!!

Corniest title for vid

sorry folks but how about this for a corny theme......

you've got views of the sand, sweaty movers (is there another sort?) and all that bollox etc to the tune of that song out of TG
'The heat is on' etc etc

then some meaningless J Giles band stuff that no one has heard of and you know that the idea has been hi-jacked by Lord and Masters............or some Yoooof from an expensive marketing plc that doesn't have a clue what motivates a youngster to join up and put up with said sand/bollox etc...
