Uhhh, that's President Saddam, leader of Iraq to you!  And if you refuse to properly address him, why he'll, he'll have a hunger strike!    Shocked

Ozzy, you where just in the wrong desert. For the first trip we where swapping from 3's to 5's, but for the second, you should have tried Turkey. No night flying, so feet up and it was "Miller Time", and when fed up with gnats piss, Bacardi Breezers. Sorry, forgot to mention the BBQ most nights.

We kept raiding the Americans next door for goodies. I got a reputation as a doughnut monster and cappuccino addict (I still like it actually) Grin

Did you ever try putting a small quantity of MRE into a plastic coke bottle, screw the lid on and stand back. After a short period of time it goes bang. The first few time are most entertaining especially under the influence of a Breezer or two....... After that it does get rather messy.

It is about the only use for them, try eating that stuff and you either Sh#t for a week or do not go at all for a week.

I have to say I was amazed how keen the Americans were to swap stuff for our rat-packs 'cos they reckoned out nosh was soooooo much better. Of course we nicked all the spare sweeties from their MREs Grin
I don't have a sweet tooth... I have a sweet jaw!
