Roast lamb or Penguin for Xmas lunch?
Summer down there at the moment, so life on the Islands should be bearable.
I was thereabouts during Op Corporate in 1982 on HMS HERMES.
It was mighty cold and miserable in the South Atlantic in April, May and June.
Them there exocets, Super Etendard and Mirages help keep us warm though.
Food was often rationed, and I got a liking for brocoli flavouredf ice-cream.
Have a good Xmas.

Thanks Mark S for another great year on the mike!! Me and my lad sit just in front of the press box and you do a fantastic job. I always smile when you give the name of an opposition scorer in that understated fed up way. Keep up the good work and seasons greetings to you and yours.

Not exactly a bit of aliteration, but I get the nudge, wink, wink ;)
