I've already answered that question. However, like Artist said, no big licks really. C'est la vie mon amie.

I was merely interested. I'm just one of those people that if I see or hear something I don't know the answer to or reasons behind it I'll do my best to find out. I basically live on Wikipedia :P

Yes I recall the half mast flag. There was a big avalanche at that time that took the lives of a number of Norwegian Army personnel. I think they were the equivalant of our Army's Royal Engineers.

Mr Kiwi: I have already answered your question mate. Its on page 3 of this thread.

I saw on BBC News 24 an interview they did with the founder of Wikipedia. Someone created a page on the said guy and got stuff on that wrong too! It's ok for some stuff but I wouldn't use it as a resource for coursework or revision.

It got me through uni :o seriously though its ok for an introduction into a topic and it is run by proffessors etc you just have to check the citations and the validity of the sources used.It's quite funny really cos you can make hilarious stuff up in the articles and wait to see how long it takes them to notice it.
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour'

Anyone know when the 1hr episodes are coming out for the commando series (if they are). I thought I remembered someone saying it was getting re edited for 2008 or something.

I'll record them for you AJ :wink:

Any how, if it goes well for you, you won't want to be watching it on TV as well! :D
