Our Phot is off to do his bit in Iraq for four months on Tuesday. The really brave thing is that he is bringing Mudcat Jack with him....says a tour on active service will do the misbegotten boozehound good.

No matter what your thoughts on this war are,I'm sure you'll want to join with me in wishing them safe home again and, if you can spare them, some good thoughts for Pixie and Joelene left behind to worry, wouldn't go amiss either.

Good luck, lads......remember to keep your heads down and your powder dry.
