Watched a Doco on BBC 4 last night
Dave Tompkins was a petty thief who craved adventure. His career as an international mercenary began in Africa and took him all over the world - to Afghanistan, Croatia and later to Colombia, where he led a team commissioned to assassinate notorious Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar. He went out with Callan and Copland to Angola he was the explosives guy in the team. While laying some mines he was injured by one going off. Got casavact back to uk just before Callan executed some of his men. Peter McAleese featured. We had one guy in our squadron who was out there he told me that the only way he survived was to keep to SOP’s staying in the bush and no tracks/roads

Brings back memories of sitting on the beach as a kid eating ham sandwiches,they had more sand in them than jam. Sitting hear chuckling remembering swimming in the sea with bathers made from an old wooly pulley, coming out with the crutch piece hanging down to your knees full of sea water. Thing is nobody took the piss because their bathers were just the same!

Kids didn't have any reservations in them days, if you didn't have trunks you just ran into the Sea bollocky buff. And nobody bothered about it. It was just accepted.
