Nothing from the rabid Malvinistas yet? Nothing from the CFK apologists? Nothing from Hepatia and the usual 25 year BS? OK. Here we go... It's FALKLANDS not the mysterious “M” word. There you go - shots fired and now I'll grab a lukewarm English beer and a packet of pork scratchings and watch the Argentines go incandescent.

I do hope our man in BA did not apologise for the incident at the Darwin Cemetery. Culprit still not identified. Some strange info leaking out about that. Not all it first appears. My money is still on an Argie.

Wonder if he passed onto the Commission that the wall surrounding the cemetery with all the fallen,s names inscribed on it is deteriorating rapidly (due to poor quality design and construction originally when first assembled in Argentina) - and quite likely the whole thing will fall over within a year unless very major repairs undertaken.

Mr Lorton,

Just curious.

What have you heard? Is there a link available with more to the story?

Thank you

Kayne - I owe you an apology for a rogue document on my website regarding Wellington & Jenner. The date was a typo. The correct date was used in the Timeline and the blog, but somehow that slipped the net. You may have been the only person ever to find it. Still - you have pushed me into drastic action with regard to the blog. Now under reconstruction.

As for your question ... little birds sing. To identify them would be unfair. Suffice to say the plaster doll seems to have run off, leaving only the clothes it had stood up in. Undamaged apparently.

:-)
