Is this the way to armadillo?


I'm sure you've already seen this but I just had to mention it as I finally saw the full version today. If you haven't heard, troops in the Royal Dragoon Guards in Iraq shot their own version of the hit Comic Relief video, Is This The Way To Amarillo, sung by Tony Christie and mimed by the superb Peter Kay, at their base. Cunningly, they changed the name to Armadillo - how witty! The problem was, they clearly hadn't heard of compression as they emailed the 53MB file to friends in England and so many colleagues tried to download it that it crashed the MoD servers! Not to worry though, the MoD said the spoof was "brilliant" and it was good to see the troops keeping up morale!

It makes me proud to be British!
