I gotta give it to McNab. The guy managed to raise the whole public opinion of the SAS from being a bunch of supermen to being normal soldiers expected to perform extraordinary tasks. Read stuff from the time of the famous embassy siege and you'd think they were some sort of james bond ninja type.
B20 for all its faults (im sure theres truckloads of them but i werent there) does help you understand that at the end of the day they were all a bunch of fairly normal guys. All the banter and the sh*t talking helps present them as just normal people. None of the 'we are warrior' stuff that US special forces seem to love so much.
I heard a bit of his show in my bed last night before I fell asleep (there I was all snuggled up awaiting Ian Collins to entertain me and along came Andy).
Anyway, like I said, I didn't catch too much of the show but did have the misfortune of having to listen to someone ring up and say, "Andy, what was it REALLY like to be tortured and stuff?"

Phone him up and give him hell!! [/quote]

If I am elected I vow to be more of a twat than ever and randomly ask annoying questions such as, 'wot iz it lyk 2 fyre a gun?' and 'who iz betta me or the sas?'.
I also pledge to be more liberal than ever.
But hey, once voted in you might well find out I will go back on all my pledges.
Tab, from 10pm through the night, TalkSport moves away from the sport element and concentrates on the talk. Tends to be about current affairs, listener phone ins etc.
Hi kids! And just when you thought the whos gay in B2O thread was dead and buried, some one brings it up again. And in other news JFK was really shot by...
