    Housemate back to Galway and said there was a rake load of Army trucks and jeeps and stuff on the motorway back up?
    Are we at war?

    Did you not get your marching orders?

    The units move around the odd time - especially after troops return from UN duty.

    If it is slow moving (ie with heavy stuff) there would be a warning on AA roadwatch but I don't see any.

    If only that camera was looking more to the left, we would see if Mr.Willis got the helicopter he was aiming at..

    Hopefully with a rocket-launcher!
