if they were in New Zealand then it would only be a short hop to the land of Stills....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Giant penguins..... We reckoned Tim would be safe wrestling penguins in the Falklands so long as he did not try the emporer penguins as they would be too tall.....

I think it's faintly possible that one day Tim will get his revenge for all the jolly jibes about his vertical challengement!!!!!

I remember reading about the oil prior to the falklands war only ever saw one article on it though in the torygraph I think. I assumed that you were referring to a shock story that there was in fact no oil
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Pete may mock but I do believe that some of those penguins are not to be meddled with.

...... and I think Tim was very brave to undertake an undercover operation like this (second from the right) :smt002

I fly back Friday.

I would like to point out I am NOT vertically challenged.















There's absolutely no challenge with being at this height... no ducking for doorframes, having to 'keep one's head down' during mortar and rocket attacks (we stood on the hesco to get a better view if truth be outed..) and it's the perfect height for when you meet 6ft blondes with big boobs..
