It's good to remember our old heroes and their nobility. Argentina can remember their old heroes and their criminality.

RIP Rex-even though you were overpowered and with only a revolver, and a small man in stature at that you had the guts of a giant to tell the RG's what was what before you reluctantly surrendered to save your men's and Islanders lives-I hope the Islanders (if they have not done already) will put up a statue in your honour outside GH

RIP Rex, a great man who did everything he could to preserve the freedom of a group of innocent islanders from an aggressive stealing foreign power. Sir Hunt, we salute you!

I cannot shut up as “shutting up” implies speech and this is purely a written format - unless you are hearing voices....................that would be creepy !
