They sent in British SAS Badgers first, but of course they got spotted straight away. The accent see.
So they had to get some Arab Badgers and train them up. Took 4 years at the Johnny Morris Foundation!
Nick that is the most insanely irritating thing I've seen in a long time!! Well done.
Alisa. Any chance that you might send me a bleedin email or what?

And remember - if an infidel touches you your penis will vanish.

The trouble is many educated Byzantines thought the irational nature of the enemy was amusing - and the Byzantines are not about any more.

Oh yes they are!
And I have been Crowned their Emperor!!
Well so Veryretired said.
I dunno... the certificate's in the post apparently...

As for you Nick ...
Look what you have done now!!
Ness came in when I was playing Hampsters and she has ordered me to put both that and Badgers onto her personal emailing list.
Tomorrow half the inboxes in the MOD will be filled with... Well people incapable with laughter.
Have you no care for the defence of this realm ???
