I was in Malta on holiday last week, I took the opportunity to fly to Gozo and back the next day (15 mins each way) in a Russian Mi8 helicopter. Great crack, now I can see why Airforces want large troop carrier chopers, it is huge and was configured to carry 28 people.

Holy sh*t Scorpy,

Don't tell me you have joined forces with Communists forces in the Eastern Block have you? I thought your heart was with the Irish Defence Forces!

Gentlemen...we have a defector among us!

I think the phrase you are looking for is TRAITOR little willie... just like some other people I could mention around here. You're one to talk about where your heart lies, at least I'm sticking to wokka wokkas you PLANK DRIVING wannabe (only joking bud, just in case you take it to heart, cos I know you are a sensitive type!)
