Didn't have the pleasure of Jim Davidson company then? He always buggers off to the Falklands to do shows for the army. He did come down while I was there but he only played the main base in Mount Pleasant Airport, he wouldn't slum it up the remote sites on places like Mount Kent and Goose Green. I wasn't allowed off the mountain unless I had a replacement already on site, I was dead important me!

Cool, btw, have you ever read a Soldiers Song by Ken Lukowiak?
It's actually about the Falklands War, sort of diary/biographical but written by him a decade after but it's a pretty good read and you'll know all the places mentioned and whatnot. Am assuming you weren't about during the actual war cos i actually have no idea how old you are and whether i'd be offending you or not!

Yes I've read it, very good book.
No, I was there in 1990, I would JUST have been old enough to go to the Falklands War but I was too intent on underage drinking and debauchery at the time!

Am about to get the follow up book he did called Maurijuana Time, am told it explains some of the stuff in the first book and is reasonably funny too. Bound to be worth the £3 i paid for it on Amazon.
