Hmmmmm... I think Carrie can be impersonated by Jennifer Connelly, but I don't remember if I've said this before!
Well, Eric Bana has Mr Andy's looks (silhouette, to be precise!), but his lips are a bit too meaty: Mr Andy's are thin. ;)
Will see them together again?

Is anyone from London? Perhaps I'll fly there for a day to buy all Mr Andy's books, but I dunno when exactly. Maybe I'll never do this, but there COULD be a chance! :)
Why not if we all meet in a place, SAS way? Like, we decide an appointement in a certain zone -bar, pub, restaurant, as long there's a lot of people around- then we try to identify each other? I guess that'll be quite cool. It wouldn't be difficult to spot me though, a shrimp with a bergen (uhm, knapsack. Forget it, it'll be a bowling ball wrapped up to look like one!) on it's back, with a compass dangling from it's neck, and with a terrible English accent -mainly italo-venician-singaporian-bla bla blas...
Of course, I'll not use that duck on my head (re-look at my info!).
¬_¬
Shall we? (Mr Andy, if you're reading, don't laugh at me!!) :( *VBG*

What do you call a man with a seagull on his head?

Yeah I got to use the spoiler thing, lets just hope I've done it right. That's a mighty big duck you've got there Deus!

Hey RExyboy that would be a great idea!!! Andyway R**nair has cheap flights so we can fly into Stansted and the whole bunch of us can meet up in London in a pub, just tell me when and I'm off.
Good grief have I got some reading to do, now DW has arrived, but I still gotta finish C4 and then I've got First into action (Falconer) (btw he reminds me of Al Pacino playing Serpico), plus I've gotta study and prepare myself for this weekend as I'm off to a congress, ..so when will I read all these books, HELP!

Alright, Rex, I have to ask: What on earth is the story with you and the duck? :o)
>>By am-i-binned (Tuesday, 9 Dec 2003 13:04)
Hihihihi, I'll answer tonight! I've to dash to work now (drat!)... and The Boss just stepped into the office! ;)
Gotta fly... erm, ducks can fly, right?! :D

Okay now, Tom Pun....
It's December 9 and counting. Where are you?!? The Ink website still only lists info for Issue 1 -- no "upcoming articles" and no sitrep from you either!

Ok ok, that pic was because I had this duck here, brought from a friend or... don't remember who right now, and was testing the webcam too, sooooooo I've just played the clown! :o)
Well, any chance to meet someday? *yeah!*

Re: Mighty Ducks
I suspect Rex got inspired from watching the episode of Blackadder Goes Forth where Baldrick provides the soon-to-be-exectued-by-firingsquad Capt Edmund Blackadder an escaping kit - consisting of:
1) A miniature trumpet (for winning over a difficult child encountered on the escape)
2) A Robin Hood costume (in case Edmund stumbles into a village and they're throwing a carneval)
3) A postcard and pencil (for writing home to the lads in the trenches, telling how the escape went)
4) A miniature wooden duck (clever disguise if Eddie finds himself in a lake and needs to take cover from a hunter-force).
Just a theory though.....
>>By ortlieb (Wednesday, 10 Dec 2003 13:40)
Blackadder, Blackadder. Now there's a cool TV show. Well done Ortlieb, you've got him sussed...
>>By Bethan (Wednesday, 10 Dec 2003 15:16)
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin.
Thanks to Beth for this excellent summary of that which has gone before...
So, have you forgotten how this started?
Bethan interviews AM about his Traser watch. He escapes her clutches but runs straight into the path of bikergirl. Bad move. Under the watchful gaze of AIB, Bethan and bikergirl try (really we do...) to interrogate AM, but end up releasing him when Nick Stone's life is threatened. Fed up of her incompetent K's, AIB resorts to Lynn to do the job properly. But Lynn is ambushed by CR, yet somehow still escapes with AM, leaving CR to return to his girls. OH MY!!! Bethan and bikergirl are double agents!!!
So Lynn has "her way" with AM, whilst the trio (CR, Beth, bg) are just being silly (nothing new then...). Only the arrival of Stan, our very own Dr Sex, brings the trio back into line and they proceed to launch a new assault to get AM. But Stan is really working with Lynn! CR is tied-up, but Beth and bikergirl escape with AM (unharmed you'll be pleased to know). Once again though, they lose AM when Hunter Force One (namely Ort and Deus) bomb burst into their hideout and snatch him back. Thankfully the B.A.B.E.S are not the only ones that can't keep hold of him and Ort promptly loses him in a bush, whilst Deus decides (see no loss of face mate!) to stay with the B.A.B.E.S. But what about CR? He's still tied up in the house where Lynn left him, until he seduces Borisette to the dulcet tones of Kylie before making a quick getaway.
So...back to the action:
After another daring escape from half of Hunter Force One, Andy McNab is looking out for somewhere to shelter for the night. Cresting another small rise he hears the dulcet tones of Paul R singing round the Bush telly...
"Two little boys had two little toys...Each had a wooden horse...Gaily they played each summer's day...Warriors both of course"
AM is drawn to the smell of 'roo burgers on the Barbie...
AM : "Mind if I join you mate?"
PR : "Strewth mate...y'nearly had me drop me stubby then..."
AM : "Sorry mate...
PR : "G'day to ya mate...I'm Paul"
AM : "Pleased to meet you, I'm Andy. What are you doing up here?"
PR : "I'm on me way back to HQ to meet up with me F Troop mates...been away on a little job, y'know..."
AM frowns as he tries to remember where he's heard F Troop before...
PR : "You know how to play the Neighbours Game mate?"
AM : "Yah-hah, I'm an ex-professional soldier I know every drinking game there is."
PR : "I wanna be Scott"
AM : "Oh, oh, oh, let me be Madge, I just loved her gravelly voice"
PR : "G'day Madge"
AM : "G'day Scott"
PR : "Say g'day to erm...Madge, Madge"
AM : "G'day Madge, say g'day to Scott, Madge"
PR : "This is rubbish with only two of us"
They both sit in silence, rubbing the condensation on their stubbys.
PR : "Anyways mate...what are you doin' up here this arvo?"
AM : "I'm on the run...started out with a couple of crazy scientists chasin' me...then another dangerously attractive girl restrained me with latex from the scientists"
PR : "With ya so far mate..."
AM : "Then the scientific girls came back for me...then some lads callin' themselves Hunter Force One had a go...I mean what is it with me?"
PR : "Dunno mate...maybe they think you're a famous author. Tell you what...come 'n say g'day to the F Troop when I head up there for the Chrissie bash...they're a bonzer bunch...they'll be stoked to meet ya"
AM : "OK mate...I'll do that. Thanks for the invitation"
PR : "No worries mate...have another beer"
AM : "Thanks mate"
They go back to singing..."When we grow up we'll both be soldiers...And our horses will not be toys...And I wonder if we'll remember...When we were two little boys"
Meanwhile...cruising around in his red Escort is Stan...with Lynn in the passenger seat wearing a big smile on her face...
The car radio's on...Tom Jones is singing...
"Pussycat, pussycat...You’re delicious...And if my wishes...Can all come true...I’ll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips"
Lynn grins at the words...
S : shouts at the radio..."I don't understand all this British sh!t. Don't you guys know any Rolf Harris?"
Will Stan's question be answered? (Go on...guess...)
Will CR come to his senses and go back for his girls? Or is Boris enough woman for him?
Is Deus still in bikergirl's grip? Would he want to be anywhere else?
All this and more as the tale comes to a thrilling conclusion...ummm...soon!!

Crikeys! That sounds like fair dinkum Aussie talk BABES! Well done! You haven't by any chance been watching Steve Irwin (The Croc Hunter) have you?
take care, speak soon
>>By Paul R (Wednesday, 10 Dec 2003 16:49)
Uh-oh, oh no you don't!
No conclusions! No conclusions!
See, BABES, I'm repeating twice. You have your mission to NOT complete. Don't you dare be thinking of wrapping things up anytime in the near future... oh, wait, sorry, forgot Christmas... well, okay, you can wrap some things up.
Okay, now then. All cam'd up? Bergens comfy? Beltkits on? Jump up and down, make sure everything's secured. Good. Keyboards ready with safeties off? Remember now, we're all counting on you! I'm expecting lots of LOLs with heads and arses rolling! Right then.... Go, go, go!

Lynn pass some of that Bengay to me too....
Andyway The BABES will never find out where CR is : I've got him all wrapped up in clingfilm in my bergen, and he's got a dirty sock in his mouth, so that will stop him singing that stupid Kylie song, that gets so on my nerves, grrrr....
And now I'm off, and I'm not telling where...........
Remember I Have the DISAPPEARING DEVICE.

"on killing" by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
I realize that alot of you are reading Andy McNab for entertainment and escape from real life. As well for a peek into the reality of a life most of us will never experience. That being said, "on killing" is a book that might bring you closer into the life of the characters in many of Mr. McNab's books. Lt. Col. Grossman is a former army ranger and paratrooper and teaches psychology at West Point and is currently the professor of Military Science at Arkansas state U. His study ends with a profoundly troubling observation. The desensitizing techniques used to train SAS soldiers are now found in mass media - films, TV, and video arcades - and are conditioning you and I without our knowledge for the most part. are we breeding a generation of rambo's? it's an excellent read if you want to dig further into the head of a professional killer....
good reading to us all.
>>By Sexibeast (Wednesday, 10 Dec 2003 21:54)
Hi again, Sexibeast...
Oh, I know the book you're talking about -- I first learned of Grossman and his book "On Killing" from an extensive documentary series a few years ago (pre-anything AM/SAS, etc. for me). He's also done a number of NPR interviews too, particularly after the Columbine shootings. His area of expertise is extremely interesting and his observations/conclusions disturbing, especially in paralleling the psychological techniques used to train professional soldiers with the exact same conditions as exist now in society where we become desensitized by experiencing violence/aggression (via movies/tv/video games) within the context of what is familiar and comfortable (our homes) so that what might initially be instinctively disturbing/repugnant becomes gradually accepted to the point where it is no longer perceived as unnatural.
Good suggestion, thanks...

Improptu Online! All Welcome!!!!
A quick gathering of any available members of F Troop and fellow lurkers....

Cross-posting re: Impromptu Online Chat...
Just a little follow up to last night's last-minute invite:
The Chill-Out chatroom on the "This Is London" web site is practically never in use so it seems we can gather there whenever we want. Last night, it started out as two of us meeting when we spotted another F Trooper online, and decided -- yep! -- oooh, a threesome! We became a foursome when yet another florker was spotted. Just in case anyone else was around, we decided to post the quick invite on both boards....
Considering all our time zones, maybe it would be easiest to try to identify some general times which might be convenient (e.g., M, W, F, btwn 9-10 GMT), kind of like a standing date... when anyone can just pop into the TIL-CO chatroom and hopefully find fellow AMCR boarders (F Troopers and lurkers alike) there also.
Just fyi, though, I am still trying to find a chatroom forum which: (1) we could identify it as being AM/CR-related, and (2) would not require installation of software or a subscription to the chat service, but for now, the TIL-CO seems the most viable option.
>>By am-i-binned (Thursday, 11 Dec 2003 17:04)
You can live chat here:
http://www.online-e-bookstore.com/chat.htm
I set it up specifically for F-Troop and those interested in Andy McNab / Chris Ryan /SAS/Special Forces etc.
Where it says JOIN #channel you will need to key Andyway. You will then enter your own F-Troop room...
I'll leave it up for a week but if you don't use it I will have to delete it.
You will need to register but don't need to verify registration via e-mail.
