A bit of local news I thought I'd share with you all:

I went down to the Harbour to see the Ark return at 1:30pm UK time. There was a band and thousands of people lining the Quay, and half a dozen Navy and news helicopters flying around to welcome the ship from it's lengthy tour in the Gulf (being imperialist lackeys ain't easy, y'know).

The fathers of two of my friends are on the ship. It'll be interesting to hear their stories......

I know the feeling. I know somebody who has been serving over there - as a chef in the Navy!
