jero - if you want a good read, get a copy of Eastern Approaches by Fitzroy Maclean - he only died a couple of years ago at about 95 - was in foreign service during Stalin show trials, was MP in UK for a rotten borough, got recalled from the desert campaign by Churchill to help Tito (Churchill told him - there is this thing called Tito, we dont what it is, may be an army or a division or even a blonde female leader, but its great at killing Nazis, we are going to 'chute you into Montenegro and you find Tito and see what you can do to help), bloody amazing story

dont get me started on the Ustashe or the Serb Chetniks for that matter - did you know Tito had a great collection of Olympic torches - you can see them these days in the Flower Museum in Belgrade

fang is right - knock the top of something a bit exotic and sit back and wait for the action to unfold

HLX might just pay for xmas this year?
