Subject: RE: BS: seeking funny I.R.A. Songs
Spot on with that second song, TJC, but I couldn't see much humour in first, immortalising catastrophes like Loughgall (when the lads went off to do the business and walked into an SAS ambush, which seemed like a fair cop to me - except that an innocent civilian got killed too).

Jock, send me your zipcode/postcode and I'll try to get repeats of Dad's Army and MASH taken off air in your street. Too bad so many copies of Catch-22 slipped through the net - not sure we can retrieve 'em now. Don't know if you remember the Marty Feldman parody of the Battle of Britain, in which The Few were London cabbies, instead of fighter pilots? The best part of it was that the RAF registered a formal complaint! LOL
