Iran so far away

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/5303086.stm

Is brinkmanship alive and well? Is the US and its allies too committed on other fronts to stand up and be counted, and what will happen if we have to come face to face with a credible and well equipped Air Force/Army?

All those times we mocked in CCS having to collapse to the ground holding our crown jewels at the first sense of the flash, seems worringly needed. I'm off to practice brushing the fallout from my MK2 NBC suit.

Oh, not a topic about the '80s beat combo 'Flock of Seagulls' then?

MK2 NBC suit
You lucky dog, the one with the fixed hood and the snazzy two-tone effect?

Wish we could have a topic about the "Seagulls", but alas it can't be. Instead of "Wishing I had a photograph" etc... we now must look at the chances of breaking out the old dosimeters, in our new snazzy Mk4s.

Ah those were the days, detachable hoods, and able to withstand as much Avtar you could chuck over it.
