"The Chinook pilot shouted at the platoon: 'When was the last time you saw a ****ing Iraqi in a helicopter?'

'The pilot and the marine were separated by their comrades as the US troops advanced north towards Baghdad.

"A British military spokesman, Group Captain Al Lockwood, said 'I'm afraid it would be an RAF thing to do, these guys are not known for tolerating fools gladly.'"

Seeing an Iraqi in a helicopter would be a rare sight indeed, but in a Chinook?? How can you confuse that for a threat?

Good one  
Topically, having just watched "Black Hawk Down" last night, I'm puzzled why the Americans were keen to have the story told, doesn't exactly make you want to buddy up with them !
However, the RAF beating s*** out of these "sir! yes! sir! Hut hut hut.." GI Joes would be worth paying to see  


BTW did you hear that the RAF roundel design they have on the planes etc is actually patented by Dorothy Perkins, who've kindly agreed not to object to the RAF using their design    
That's almost as bad as '20th Century Fox' not thinking ahead to patent "21st Century Fox", which is now owned by some guy who failed to punt it on to them for an exorbitant fee

<font color='#000080'>French Connection have patented the letters fcuk in any order! Confused me, but they've obviously got reasons. Probably to stop the market traders selling &quot;fuck&quot; t-shirts.

I think the comedy of companies who just don't ask a local is better. Vauxhall launching the Nova in spain, only to find that Nova means doesn't go, or something like. A classic was GPT selling products in France not realising that GPT would be pronounced J'ai pete. Meaning I've farted. Why are companies this stupid? Surely someone could have just said something. Just mentioned it. To anyone!

Give me a can of Dandelion &amp; Burdock if you can find one, beats coke or pepsi for taste  

[Dr Stevil]

Well said that man! &nbsp;Dandelion and Burdock, jam sandwiches made with that really thin white Mother's Pride bread, jumpers for goal posts... And let's not forget Vimto and lashings of Ginger Beer &nbsp;
ah...... the good old days when we had our own culture instead of an imported flat-packed corporate-badged money-grabbing blah blah blah... &nbsp;
