=)
You look like one, *grin*! Plus, you've to hid more your face: see how Mr Andy blacks out also his upper lip (including his other SAS "comrades")? (no worries, your lips are perfect!)
;)
Hi all (All say "hi" in return!), I think this'll be my last office-post, and perhaps even my last office-navigation, darn! :'''''( There's no PC in the new mess-hall, so guess I'll hafta only post at home, in the evening, *VBsigh*!
Bye... *sniffles*

No lashes today Nomad, it's all in the variety...
Wasn't planning jungle tours so I guess my Chanel will be quite safe (at least in winter time) Actually it isn't even Chanel - but Santa is gone for a while so I don't bother to reveal actual brand ;o)

I very well may be. Remote Control was set practically in my back yard. Maybe Mr. McNab saw me one day while researching the area and became inspired (NOT!)
Actually, that was one of the things that I really appreciated about Remote Control: the incredible attention to detail and the accuracy of his descriptions. I'm very familiar with the northern Virginia area and everything he described is right on the money. I've even been to that military surplus store he briefly mentions when he and Kelly are running across the road to avoid the bad guys.
There were only two things that didn't ring true:
1) No way a DC Flyer dispatcher would say they were going to "collect" somebody. They would call it a "pick up," assuming they spoke English, which is not always a safe assumption.
2) I seem to recall one of the local characters making a reference to "Route 95" or something like that. Nobody around here would call it that. It's I-95, I for Interstate.
Other than that, the book could have been written by a native Washingtonian. Kudos, McNab!

Now then B.U.L.L.I.E.S are challenging the B.A.B.E.S team for the "BEST-Elite Trophy".
Lynn and Borisette have chosen Falconer to help them out while Bethan and Bikergirl are taking Chris Ryan offcourse. (maybe this should be on the CR board but now I'm here so I don't care a ****). The test is wich of the 2 teams will be the fastest to hook on the pericope of the submarine.
AIB and AM will be the referees looking from the shore with binoculars. Both wearing orange Goretex- suits, green caps and slurping hot cocoa
down their throats. A dixy-band is playing on the pier with Tabby and Majorette as pompom girls.
AIB : Oy mate stop looking at them galls dancing up and down, shame on you, we've got a job to do here
AM : I wasn't looking I just had a fly in my eye and couldn't see a sh*t. (winking at TAbby and M)
DF : Okay ladies are you both ready to go? We have to use Speed Agression and Surprise, remember what I told you back at the changing rooms. (Lynn starts to giggle and becomes all red. while Borisette is looking angry at her and doesn't understand what these 2 were up too, 'cause she was on the loo)
B.ette : What's that smell?
L : ooh it's my Chanel nr. 5, DF told me to wear it so the submarine could find better the rendez-vous.
DF : Right let's take these canoes and let's start paddling, BABES are allready in position and we're late as usual. (looking angrily at Borisette)
BABES were paddling on their pink canoes in front of them. Lynn and B.ette took their canoes, then hooked a line on Duncan's canoe (cause neither CR nor D would paddle so they had to be towed into the open sea, CR by B and BG, and DF by L and B.ette)
CR : eeeh up, eeeeh up, eeeh up, rithme Babes, rithme ,eeh up, eeeh up, paddle on.....faster.....
Then as B.ette and L. start paddling against the waves, towing DF behind them, they hear all of a sudden :
BG : there it is, I can see it, but we're not ready yet, we haven't got the lines out,
CR : don't worry I'll think of something me dearies
B : but it's gonna miss us.!!!!!
B.ette and L paddle like mad dogs towards the periscope when all of a sudden.............
They see CR jamming his knees into his rubber boat, and lunging for the periscope grabbing the thing just short of the top, but the periscope is moving and it isn't going to slow down. CR gets dragged out of the boat but BG jumps backwards from her canoe and grabs CR's feet then jamms her knees tightly into the forward corner of the rubber boat and off they go dragging B behind them.
L and B.ette stop paddling. Jaws fall open, they can't believe what they've just seen. DF starts cursing and spitting at them.
L : ooops you did it again B.ette, I told you yesterday not to eat those beans, you know what they do to you, and that's why we got late at the RV with the sub, I'll have to be the one "again" to make it up with DF.
then as they paddle back to the shore they hear :
CR : I got away....... again, I did it!!!!!!
They see CR holding the periscope, BG hanging on to his feet, a hundred foot line, taut as a violin string stretching out to the boat of Bethan, who is howling with laughter.
AIB: ooh well that's one point to the BABES, what's the next challenge Poohbear? (refering to AM).
AM: dunno, guess it'll be the Mountain challenge
So what will happen next, will the B.U.L.L.I.E.S win against the B.A.B.E.S in the Mountain challenge.
Will DF still be their CO, or will he elope with Lynn and leave B.ette to do the challenge on her own?
Will B.ette eat beans again or Brussel sprouts, or will she have learned the lesson......

Huh, ..... what they're at it again!!!!!
Babes Against Bush
"Two beautiful women versus one hideous president." That's the slogan of a new campaign launched by 2 women calling themselves "Babes Against Bush," who have come out with a "Regime Change Countdown Calendar" featuring 2 lusty liberal pin-up models. With the battle for the hearts and minds of Nascar Dads heating up as the 2004 election approaches, the Babes are hoping to get the attention of "men whose cultural tastes tend towards centerfolds and the swimsuit issues of sports magazines."
The group admits it may not exactly be "politically correct," but "what better way is there to get guys to notice that the president is a bozo?" Toward that end, a chronology of "Bush administration misdeeds, mistakes, and manglings of the truth" appears alongside the portraits of models in various states of provocative dress and undress.
B.U.L.LI.E.S you must do something about this!!!
>>By borisette (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 00:00)
Andyway for those who don't know who Duncan Falconer is. Shame on you!!!!!
He's an ex-SBS, author of First into Action, (a bit like AM's IA).
A real tough cutie!
>>By borisette (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 00:29)
Sorry, but I'm going back a little.. a little piece about Crisis Four THE-MOVIE-THAT-WAS-NEVER-MADE
It's a little part from an article in the Guardian (2001)
The heroes were billionaires. And now, overnight, the heroes are firemen again."
That kind of hero could be back, now that Miramax owns the rights to thrillers by former SAS man Andy McNab, and to McNab's character, Nick Stone, a council-house James Bond with mud on his boots, who shuns steak tartare for overcooked beef at McDonald's. Crisis Four, complete with an assassination raid inside the White House by a beautiful agent in thrall to Osama bin Laden, is the first one slated for filming.
Milius doesn't envy McNab. He says that the still-unreleased Texas Rangers, about ex-soldiers and cowboys who enforce the law on the Texas frontier, was one of his best scripts, but Miramax found his ode to esprit de corps too lofty for the skateboard crowd and mutilated it without him. "They don't have any sense of responsibility. They'd make a film about anything if they thought it would make some money for them. I think they should give Harvey Weinstein [president of Miramax] to the Taliban. I'd like to see him on the other side. I'd like to hunt him down in a cave."
(and we thought it really was Sadam H.)

Evening! I am back from my night out...which ended very abruptly due to a crisis call resulting in Operation Kick-That-Man-To-The-Kerb being initiated by a close female trooper!
B.U.L.L.I.E.S - erm...me a pom pom girl...mmmmm... (Tabby pulls MP5 and aims...) Yes..it's amazing the multitude of sins that pom poms can hide...maybe I should email the SAS and suggest they become standard issue for all female operatives...
Sorry..can't type more. ..the chain that attaches me to the kitchen sink is becoming too restricting!
>>By TabariGoddess (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 00:47)
Oh Bullies.. I get to share a boat with D. Falconer???? GREAT !!
(I think - who is he??? hahaha - oops sorry, sure if you picked him he'll be cute)
Mountain challenge must be exiting - I see tops !
I know exactly how to crush those ramblers (bet they're just roadies anyway) - we're gonna make CR suffer from male blindness, we'll threaten the girls with our shivs and lock them into a mushroom.
It'll be Nirvana! We'll have a snort afterwards! Don't forget your wooly bears !!!
(don't ask, don;t know what the h*ll I'm talking about either)

Hey bikergirl...sure thing...British Gas scoffed all me hobnobs the other day, so stock up!!!
McNabfest due to start around 1600hrs when older brother, alias McNab-Nabber will be arriving with said stolen cargo to avoid Tabby throwing another Everest-sized toys out of the pram fit!

BG
Are you inviting Bullies for tea and biscuits????
My guess is you'll have to use better tactics on them !
(can negotiate if you wish me too !??)
>>By Lynn (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 13:56)
B.U.L.L.I.E.S vs B.A.B.E.S there's a lot of full stops there. Well you guys certainly picked the right one to just sit in the boat laughing!! Lazy, me? Never. When's round two?
>>By Bethan (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 15:12)
Oh and PS. Duncan Falconer, nice choice!!! Very fit man.
>>By Bethan (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 15:19)
Last one for today I'd like to point out the lovely Dermot O'Leary on that Borisette link.... Such a babe...
>>By Bethan (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 15:25)
Bethan, round 2 coming up shortly, just waiting for
Lynn and DF to turn up. as usual they've disappeared "again", leaving me alone with AM whose got a drippy nose,..........and he's using me
......as a handkerchief.
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
>>By borisette (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 15:32)
(it has been very exhausting so far - so don't wait up for me this weekend)
>>By Lynn (Saturday, 10 Jan 2004 17:46)
Oh, gee. I've never been a pom pom girl before. I guess that means I should put together a few cheers for the next competition. Here we go:
The B.A.B.E.S. were a couple of girls, rah!
Who wore strings of ammo with pearls, hah!
With guidance from Ryan,
They'll leave B.U.L.L.I.E.S. cryin'
And prove hardness can come with curls, ta!
And just to be fair, here's one for the B.U.L.L.I.E.S, too:
In a contest of wits on the brine,
The B.U.L.L.I.E.S. found themselves behind,
But with dry land ahead,
They might win instead
And everything should be just fine!
Good luck to both teams.
