> we'd have to ring the "office manager" (ex-SAS)

I'm not sure what's the fetish with the SAS, but I apparently know more people who where in the or with strong ties to the SAS than regular British folks... OTOH, after knowing some actual members of various special forces for 2 decades: If they saw action, they don't brag. They are usually shy to admit anything even if it is not classified. Or the other way around: Those advertised as "ex-SAS" (or navy seals or french foreign legion, your choice) usually ain't.

A drunk ex-pat walks into a bar. He is a navyseal, with three tours of combat and also the CEO of a public traded company.
Hrhr. I actually know a legit one who fits the description. But that is exactly one :)
With all that experience, you need only one.

That's when you ask "What colour is the boat house at Hereford?"

Brown brick with blue and white, according to Google :-)
Great film!
