Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but one of ITV's news reporters is yomping across the Falklands in memory of the boys who did it the first time around. From the snippets that I've seen it looks quite interesting.
Anyone who did it the first time care to comment on how it was the first time, and how he's doing?

My old man was but hes not very computer literate. What time is the program on? It may persuade him to come on here.

It's on the 10:30 news, but they are also showing clips on the website.
Perhaps he could dictate to you, if his typing skills aren't so good.

I heard he quit halfway through. Bet thats well embarrasing for him. Just shows The guys who did it originally were a bunch of right hard bastards.

Don`t think he is mate.
Civvy reporter with back up crew, make-up artist etc mincing about is most deffo not yomping. Very reminiscient of that prick from Blue Peter doing the endurance cse whilst gobbing off about his "Commando Spirit" Or lack of

Sorry Harry, no offence intended.
Just thought that I'd put it up for anyone who was interested.
...with back up crew, make-up artist etc
You mean marines don't get any of that to take with them? Who's going to carry all of my heavy equipment, and run a nice warm bath for me in the mornings? Ack, maybe I should reconsider joining the marines

Don't listen to Harry!
Off course you get a bloke who carries all your kit, washes your clothes, runs a nice warm bath and all that sort of stuff. He's called youself and over time it will become second nature.
As it is the cam cream your issued with is great stuff for making your face look and feel like a new born babies arse. God knows why but it sorts out Zits and other stuff ASAP, or at least the stuff we were issued with did when I was in.
