I loved Graham Norton's suggestions for Iraqi TV shows last night:
Bagdhad's Army
Middle East Enders
Some Mullahs Do 'Ave 'Em
...and so on.
Worth a little umratic thread, I should have thought:
The Boys From The Blix Stuff
The Desert Connor Show
Play Your Kurds Right
The Adventures Of Supergun
A Place In Hussain......

I wanna have a little bomb like you, George
(it was Jack in the original version Millicent Martin sang)
Vicky

The Basra Bush Show,
Auf Widersehen Peace,
Ground Forces,
Darling Bombs of May,
Baghdad's Burning,
Wish You Were Ici,
Donald Rumsfeld's Catchphrase,
It'll be all night on the Right,
Inspector Blix.
They think it's all over...
"I'm sorry, I haven't a clue" - GW Bush

A special for today:
"Atomic Relief: Red Glows Day"
On the big screen:
George of the Rumble [1]
A Perfect Desert Storm
Maid in Manhattan Project
How to lose a gun in 10 days
About a Bomb
Some that don't need to be changed:

Cheers, Kimbo
Changing Regimes,
The Epilogue.
"Never Mind the Cockups"
"Never Mind the Bombdrops"
"Never Mind the Buzzbombs"
(ok, that's enough "NMt" - Ed)
"Friendlyfires"
Young George B. might like "Dad's Army".
"Blind Date Growers"
A new cooking program: "101 Things to do with Colman's English Mustard
Gas" (purely for research, don't cook with this at home kids").
Donald Rumsfeld and George W Bush are doing a remake of
"Dumb and Dumber"
"I Love Lucy", with Lucille Ball and Desert Arnaz
"Middle Eastenders"
Those late-night programmes that no-one listens to on R4:
"The Learning Curve"
"Something Misunderstood"
9am Monday it's: "Start The War"
6.15pm Sat: "Stop The World" (too many Loose Ends to tie up).
Back on BBC2 it's: "University Challenger"
(with Bomber Gascoigne). This one's a picture
bonus, but it's a blow-up.
Over on ITV it's "The South Yemen Bank Show"
but on Friday evening and Sunday morning R4:
"Letterbomb from America".

Mike McMillan,
Or, how about some songs?
When it's spring again, we'll bring again, troopships to bomb
Saddam...
I've got anthrax, I've got smallpox, I've got nerve gas, who could ask
for anything more...

Is this the best thread in which to note that you don't get a really
GOOD war until somebody gets assassinated in Yugoslavia...

Quite. You just can't get the quality of Archduke these days.
Yebbut it's not August. All the best wars start just before the skule
year starts. Having it now will ruin everyone's holiday plans.

All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.
When it's all over they may try to get in 'DIY SOS' - if it can win the
vote over the bathroom that has not been completed in two years and the
half demolished outside privy.

I think that, as far as the Kurds are concerned, especially those in the Bottom
Right Hand corner of Turkey the program will be "Changing Nations".
