I suppose that I must point out that he is after all a friend of Peter Mandelson... Tony, you're still alive! To paraphrase, misquote and totally bastardize of context a nice saying of Pericles, 'if only he had slipped and fell on a bullet'. Somehow I doubt that would have satisfied the screeming ICTY banshees.

P.S. Lord of the Rings is definately better than Harry Potter though Asterix et Obelix: Mission Cleopatra is superb (though that depends on how good one's french is).
I am alive but only just, it looks as if I am going to be made redundant, but the good news is that know with this expanded war, I may be back in uniform again.
The down side is the pay will only be a fraction of what I was paid as a civvy, maybe I should get another civvy job, its what Mary wants anyway.
Cheers Tony
